Prime Picks: UFC Perth & PFL Sioux Falls

Keeping in light of the times, we at Sherdog have decided to slightly retool our Prime Picks betting franchise. We remain constantly active for major events , such as the regular in-depth “Shillan & Duffy” preview show and the “Sheehan Show” for all sorts of related matters including betting. With those official sources for picks handled, we thought we would take the edge off here and get a bit lighter with our breakdowns.

The industry of sports betting is exploding before our very eyes, with billions of dollars pumping in since receiving general approval and legalization for many stateside. Oftentimes, those driving the lines are right on the money with their openings, valuations and analyses. Occasionally, they are way off, or otherwise merit some additional conversation.

That is where we come in with this reinvigorated series of Prime Picks, where we crack into the latest Ultimate Fighting Championship and Professional Fighters League offerings and proceed accordingly. (-215) Things are a bit different around here, remember. We’re not going to be the yawn-inducing column that has a template and plops in fitting lines in hopes of making a cohesive unit.

Life isn’t always that clean, and neither is the fight game. Whiffing on any sort of pick in regards to the UFC Perth main attraction, we instead initially focus our attention on a head-scratching number that has popped up three times across its lineup. At the time of this writing, and your book may disagree, Steve Erceg , Tai Tuivasa and Junior Tafa currently reside as -215 favorites against Tim Elliott , Louie Sutherland and Kevin Christian , respectively.
