While he faced legal issues earlier in the year, nothing is keeping Joey Chestnut from competing in Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. As usual, the competitive eater is the overwhelming favorite to be the best hot dog eater on the 4th of July, but I'm shocked to see the oddsmakers are predicting how little he'll eat.
As many Americans wait to watch the 2026 TV schedule event on ABC and ESPN2, DraftKings Sportsbook is already posting the over and under on how many hot dogs Chestnut will eat. As of writing, Chestnut is favored to eat under 70.5 hot dogs at -140 odds, and +110 to go over that. I'm pretty shocked to see those numbers personally, especially when looking back at his past performances.
