2025 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest odds: Joey Chestnut (-2500) is a massive favorite in his return
The 2025 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest will take place at 12 p.m. ET Friday on ESPN2 and features the return of 16-time champion Joey Chestnut. Chestnut was banned from the event last year as a result of his partnership with Impossible Foods, a rival brand. Chestnut and Nathan's seem to have resolved their differences, as he returns to the contest and is a massive favorite at sportsbooks. Chestnut opened as a -2500 favorite (bet $25 to win $1) at BetMGM to win this year's contest, with last year's champion, Patrick Bertoletti, owning the second-best odds all the way back at 16-1 (bet $1 to win $16). Bertoletti consumed 58 hot dogs last year, but will almost assuredly have to best that number by a good deal to compete with Chestnut. Advertisement Chestnut's record is 76 hot dogs eaten back in 2021 and the over/under at BetMGM for total hot dogs eaten by Chestnut at the 2025 event is 71.5, with the over juiced to -140. For comparison, Perlotti's over/under is only 50.5 hot dogs. Bettors can also wager on Chestnut (-2500) or the field (+900) to win the contest or an adjusted hot dog over/under of 76.5 for Chestnut (over +250, under -350). The winner of the contest receives $10,000 and the coveted mustard yellow belt.

Watching Wimbledon this year meant spotting a common foe: extreme heat
Former US tennis player and coach Brad Gilbert, part of the ESPN team calling the two-week tournament (all the action is on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN on Disney+) predicted Alcaraz and his opponent, Italian elder statesman Fabio Fognini, would be battling 'hairdryer conditions' (hot and windy) and he was right. While tennis players are among the fittest professional athletes, dashing around Wimbledon's fast grass courts for five hours can be a struggle even in ideal conditions ( not hot and windy.) Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up It's hard to know if Monday's heat was the problem for defending Wimbledon champ Alcaraz, who labored to beat the 38-year-old Fognini in five sets, but it definitely affected some spectators. The match was delayed for several minutes in the fourth set so medical personnel could revive someone in the crowd who collapsed. The high temperatures did seemingly take a toll on Tunisian player Ons Jabeur, who abruptly withdrew from her first-round match after one set, and also on Russian Daniil Medvedev, a semifinalist at Wimbledon a year ago, who looked completely exhausted after losing to unheralded Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi in four sets.

This is the first year that Wimbledon has dispensed with line judges and is relying instead on Of course, not everyone likes the idea of Mark Shanahan is a longtime Living/Arts reporter who writes music, movies, books, and television.
