UFC 310 Main Card Picks

 UFC 310 is fast approaching, and it is one of the most stacked UFC cards in recent memory. As such, I will be making two separate posts for my picks. This post will be for the main cards slate of fights, and the second post will be for the prelims and early prelims. 

We will start from the top down, which means we will discuss the flyweight championship bout between Alexandre Pantoja and Kai Asukara. This fight likely hinges on whether Asakura can keep the fight standing and avoid Pantoja's grappling, or if Pantoja can close the distance, control the fight with his grappling, and potentially get a submission. Given Pantojas breadth of experience against the toughest fighters this division has to offer, I am gonna go with him as the slight favorite at -260. The next fight, Shavkat Rakhmonov vs Ian Garry, is a much easier pick. Rakhmonov has everyone in the welterweight division running scared for good reason, and I believe his success will continue against a talented up & comer in Ian Garry. Next up is Ciryl Gane vs Alexander Volkov. This fight has the potential to be a striking showcase, and with Gane likely having the edge in terms of movement, speed, and versatility it is clear to see why he is favored at -370. However, I think with Volkovs power and reach he has the chance to pull off the upset in this one. The final two fights on the main card I would go with Bryce Mitchell and Nate Landwehr. Thank you for reading, and make sure to check out my analysis of the prelim fights as well!

UFC 310 Prelim Picks

 Welcome back to part 2 of my picks for UFC 310! In this post I will be giving my picks for the prelims, which features a number of notable names. Starting with Anthony Smith vs Dominic Reyes, I would take Reyes in this one, as he has been hot lately and has a lot of experience even when compared to Smiths long career. Moving on, we have veteran Vicente Luque vs up & comer Themba Gorimbo.   Luque   likely has the advantage in the stand-up battle, and his aggressive style could overwhelm Gorimbo if the fight stays on the feet. If Gorimbo can avoid Luque’s power and manage to take the fight to the ground, he could make things difficult for Luque. However, if the fight remains striking-heavy, Luque’s power, volume, and experience at the top level should give him the edge. He is a +140 underdog, so there is some money to be made by even placing a decent sized bet on him. Next up is former champion Aljamian Sterling taking on Movsar Evloev. This is a fight that I would be ...

NFL and UFC Picks for Oct 12 & 13th 2024

 Hello and welcome to my new blog, Touchdowns and Takedowns! I am Julian Pellegrini, and I have followed and bet on both the UFC and NFL for some time now, and so I have decided to begin sharing my weekly betting tips with other fans. I hope you guys appreciate this content, and I encourage you to reach out via my email, julian.pellegrini@mohawkcollege.ca, with any questions you may have.  For this weekend, let's start with my NFL picks that I believe have a good chance of hitting and making you some money. We are entering week 6 in what has been a strange, and thus hard to predict, season of football so far. One sleeper pick I have for this weeks slate of games is taking the Washington Commanders over the Baltimore Ravens, against whom they are 6.5 point underdogs. Jayden Daniels and the Commanders offense have looked great so far this year, and their defense looked shutdown last week against the Browns. It's always hard to bet against Baltimore, but with the money line in th...

Nov 11th NFL Recap, Dec 8th NFL Picks

 Hello and welcome back to Touchdowns & Takedowns! Today we will be making some picks for the upcoming week in the NFL. However, I'll begin by recapping my picks from my last post. You were in luck if you chose to bet on one or both of my sleeper picks to cover the point spread, as the Broncos and Buccaneers both nearly pulled off the upsets. However, if you chose them to win, or took my parlay, your luck was considerably worse. It was a week of close games, and those can always go either way.  Moving on to this week in the NFL, my first sleeper pick is the Atlanta Falcons, who are taking on the Minnesota Vikings. While the Vikings have been very good this year and Atlanta has slumped in recent weeks, I think that Kirk Cousins will get fired up for this game against his former team and at the very least keep it within the 5.5 point spread. My second sleeper pick is the New York Jets taking on the Miami Dolphins. Despite the disaster year that its been for the Jets, they st...
