Jamall Emmers +5.5 on the Line (+200)

Odds available at Bovada at time of publishing

Jamall Emmers is facing Lerryan Douglas in this fight, and I think betting on Emmers with a 5.5 point spread could be a smart move. Emmers is a good striker and knows how to keep the fight at his pace, while Douglas will need to bring some serious skills to turn the match in his favor. Our numbers show that Emmers is an underdog, but he really has a chance to win. Just remember, fights can be unpredictable, so this bet could go either way. It was priced at +200 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $30 if it lands. The number next to the team is the handicap, and that team's score is adjusted by it before the bet is settled. This is a long shot at the price, so keep the stake small. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
