Michael Aljarouj -3.5 on the Line (+115)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

Michael Aljarouj is offered at +115 with a point spread of -3.5, which gives us a nice chance to back him. Our numbers show that this fight is almost even, but Aljarouj has a slight advantage. He needs to use his striking skills well to keep control of the fight, while Fabia Sintes will be aiming to take it to the ground. The biggest risk here is that the fight could be very close, and Sintes has a good chance of making it competitive. However, if Aljarouj can stick to his game plan, he should be able to cover that spread and give us a solid shot at a win. It was priced at +115 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21.50 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 one is priced as an outside chance. Our model leans this way without loving it. 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.
