Entertainment Odds: Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest - Handicappers Hideaway

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.

How Many Hot Dogs Will Joey Chestnut Eat at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest?



This Saturday is Independence Day, so it’s almost time for the annual
Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island, New York. Every year,
the contestant who can scarf down the most hot dogs (bun included) in 10
minutes is declared the winner. American Joey Chestnut has won the
contest every year since 2007, usually consuming at least 60 hot dogs
along the way. Chestnut’s over/under this year is 65.5.

If we exclude Chestnut’s 2007 victory, which had a 12-minute time limit,
the Vallejo, California native has exceeded 65.5 hot dogs three times
out of seven. His record is 69, set in 2013, and his lowest intake was
in 2010, when Chestnut topped out at 54 franks. Last year, Chestnut won
the contest with 61 hot dogs consumed.



Chestnut has reportedly been training vigorously for this year’s event,
hoping to fend off the challenge from the latest eating star, Matt
Stonie. And the late addition of Takeru Kobayashi could be enough to
push Chestnut beyond 65.5 hot dogs, but there’s also concern he could be
near the end or even past his competitive eating peak at age 31. ESPN2
has the live coverage starting at noon Eastern.
