UFC 264 Sean O’Malley vs. Kris Moutinho: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: O’Malley 13-1-0 | Moutinho 9-4-0
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
O’Malley (-900) will cost you nine times your potential return, so you obviously cannot make that play. Over the long term that’s a bad betting strategy.
Instead, play O’MALLEY BY KO/TKO OR DQ (-300) lightly on the 7-way line, as a knockout is inevitable for the fighter with multi-colored hair.
Even better, play O’MALLEY BY KO/TKO/DQ IN ROUND 1 (+110), and hope for a quick finish against the newcomer.

Over/Under (O/U)
Playing UNDER 1.5 ROUNDS (-175) is a little on the expensive side, but it’s a solid play. The hard-hitting O’Malley will give Moutinho a very rude welcome to the UFC promotion.
