Sudo will win the title again this year but by how much? She beat Michelle Lesco by 4.5 dogs last year but ate nowhere near as many dogs as she can, consuming only 31 on her way to victory when her average is 37.7. We like taking the -6.5 spread in a head-to-head to Lesco at -180. We also have a sneaky feeling Sudo will be pushed hard this year so also go for the Over 39.5 dogs eaten at -120.
