<p>The UFC is going to leave the United States for the weekend as it’s time for UFC Fight night from Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia. This will be the first time that the UFC will be in that part of the world, but there is a terrific card set up.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The main event will feature a great middleweight battle between championship contenders, and the <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">betting odds</a> are tight as well. Here is a look at the best fights of the night, and some of the bets that should be made. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Aliskerov-Whittaker Ready for Battle</h2>



<p>The main event is a fight that is a long time coming as both the fighters have been on a path to contend for a title belt. Ikram Aliskerov will face off against Robert Whittaker and the latter is a slight betting favorite in this matchup.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This fight was actually just thrown together based on some other scratches, but these fighters were always going to meet up at some point. Aliskerov comes into this fight with odds set at +131, while Whittaker is a slight favorite at -151.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Whittaker will be delivering Aliskerov the first loss of his career, as he has been a fighter that just continues to impress. This should be a great matchup of two aggressive fighters, and this one will be decided by a knockout of some sort.&nbsp;</p>



<p>There is a really good chance that this fight will end with an upset, and getting Aliskerov at +131 is an opportunity that you can’t pass up. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Heavyweights Ready for Battle</h2>



<p>The UFC has done a great job of putting together some other great fights, and that includes a huge heavyweight battle between Alexander Volkov and Sergei Pavlovich. This is another fight where the betting odds are pretty tight, and it should lead to an excellent battle in Saudi Arabia.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Pavlovich has already had a shot at winning the title in this weight class, but he was clearly not prepared for that battle. He is the favorite in this battle at -201, but he will have his work cut out for him.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Volkov comes into this fight with three straight wins, and all three of them have come via stoppage. While that is an impressive run, that’s not going to be what happens in this fight.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you are going to bet on this fight then you want to take Pavlovich at -201 to come away with another impressive win.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Desperate Welterweights Ready to Fight</h2>



<p>Daniel Rodriguez will be looking to pull off a pretty big upset when he takes on Kelvin Gastelum in Saudi Arabia this weekend. Rodriguez currently has <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker">odds</a> set at +220, but he is facing Gastelum (-260), and he is another fighter that has been struggling to win of late. </p>



<p>Since both of these fighters are coming into this bout on a losing streak, there will be a bit of desperation that is shown throughout the fight. This might end up being the biggest upset of the night, and going with Rodriguez at +220 is the way to go.</p>

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

UTEP Miners vs Tennessee Volunteers Betting Pick & Prediction 11/23/24

The Cleveland Browns are coming off a rather wild effort against the Baltimore Ravens in which it was clear that they went "balls-out."

The New York Giants seem to have demonstrated last week that they weren't quite up to the task of holding on to the lead in the NFC East.

The Browns and Giants, very much in the playoff hunt, will do battle in NBC's Sunday Night Football matchup at MetLife Stadium.
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>CLEVELAND BROWNS at NEW YORK GIANTS, 8:20 PM ET (Sunday)</strong></span></h3>
<h4><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports">BetAnySports</a> Sunday Night Football Odds: Browns -6.5, Total 44</strong></h4>
The Browns are 9-4 (5-8 against the spread) and they are actually in a tie for the #1 wild card berth in the AFC. But when the Baltimore Ravens beat them last Monday, they pulled to within one game of the Browns in the playoff queue.

The Giants are 5-8 SU (8-4-1 ATS) and they trail Washington by a game in the NFC East. So both of these teams might find themselves in the post-season. But New York really needs to win this one.

Baker Mayfield definitely took matters into his own hands last Monday night against the Ravens. he threw for 343 yards and two touchdowns, but the Browns kind of got out of their game plan, didn't they? This is a team that ranked second in the NFL in rushing, yet they threw the ball 47 times and ran it on 28 occasions. We suspect that is an anomaly, and that they will get back to business as usual against the Giants.

And Lamar Jackson was a lot of trouble for them to corral. He had 124 yards on the ground, and while Cleveland would not necessarily be encountering the same kind of situation with a healthy Daniel Jones, they would still have to deal with the threat of him running.

But Jones is not healthy. He had a bad hamstring going into last week's game against the Arizona Cardinals, and it showed, as he was unable to escape blitzes, suffering through six sacks and handcuffing his team on offense. The Giants had only ten first downs in the 26-7 defeat.

And now, to make matters worse, Jones has a sprained ankle as well. head coach Joe Judge probably made a mistake in letting him start last week. But it's likely Jones will be sitting this one out, leaving things in the hands of Colt McCoy, who's got a connection to the Cleveland franchise, having been drafted by the Browns in 2010 and making eight starts for them. In other words, he's part of a lengthy legacy of Cleveland QBs who didn't quite work out for them.

The Giants are dealing with another situation. Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, who was Dallas' head coach last season, has been taken out of action with a COVID diagnosis, so Freddie Kitchens, the tight ends coach, will take his place on Sunday night. And this probably is no coincidence.

Kitchens was the Browns' head coach last season, but was fired after a 6-10 record. Most observers considered him not ready to handle the situation. But he knows a lot about the Browns and their personnel and certainly about Mayfield. Maybe that information will be useful.

A healthy McCoy is better than a lame Jones. And the Browns did leave a lot on the field last week, only losing the ATS decision when they botched one of those desperation lateral plays at the end and suffered a safety. The Giants' ground game was a considerable part of what they were doing for a month and a half, at least up until last week. We're okay spending a little with them on Sunday.
