Last year, Matt Stonie did what nobody had done since 2006: Beat Joey
Chestnut at the annual Fourth of July Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Chestnut returns to Coney Island this Monday to reclaim his crown, but
at press time, he's a slight –110 underdog to Stonie's –140 in
head-to-head betting.

Chestnut was the overwhelming –900 favorite heading into last year'
competition, but Stonie (in the field at +500) was the rising star on
the Major League Eating circuit, and a definite threat to take the title
away from the aging champion. Now 32 years old, Chestnut remains second
on the MLE rankings behind Stonie, who just turned 24 in May. The
over/under for Monday's contest is 63.5 hot dogs consumed (buns
included) within the 10-minute time limit. Stonie ate 62 franks last
year to claim the title; Chestnut could only manage 60.
On the women's side, Japanese-American Miki Sudo is expected to win her
third straight crown. Sudo (No. 3 on the MLE rankings) is a –250
favorite in head-to-head betting with Sonya Thomas, who won this event
in each of the first three years since its inaugural run in 2011. Their
over/under is 39.5 hot dogs.
