Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest: Men's Odds


2023 Odds for Hot Dog Eating Contest (Men's Division)

Participant Odds Most Hot Dogs (HBD) Year Minutes
Joey Chestnut -4000 76 2021 10 min
Geoffrey Esper +1200 50 N/A N/A
Nick Wehry +2000 N/A N/A N/A
James Webb +2500 N/A N/A N/A
Field +3000 N/A N/A N/A

Joey Chestnut: The Reigning Champion

Joey Chestnut, known as the gluttonous glizzy gladiator, enters the contest as the heavy favorite. With an impressive record of 16 titles, Chestnut has established his dominance in the competition. He holds the remarkable feat of devouring 501 hot dogs and maintaining a seven-year winning streak. 

However, recent performances indicate a potential slowdown, as Chestnut consumed his lowest total of 63 hot dogs in last year's competition. 

Could this open a window of opportunity for Geoffrey Esper, the contender with the second-best odds at +1200? Esper, with a career-high of 50 hot dogs, would need to elevate his game by 140% to challenge Chestnut's reign.

Miki Sudo: The Defending Champion

On the women's side, Miki Sudo reigns as the defending champion. In the 2022 contest, she devoured 40 hot dogs, showcasing her impressive eating prowess. 

Sudo has been a dominant force in the competition since 2014, securing nine out of the last ten hot dog-eating titles. Her odds of -5000 reflect her strong position as the favorite. 

Despite taking a break in 2021 due to pregnancy, Sudo's return to the contest signals her determination to secure her tenth title.

Joey Chestnut: The Clear Favorite

Joey Chestnut's incredible achievements and multiple world records make him the clear favorite to emerge victorious once again. It is challenging to bet against the man known as Jaws. 

However, there is always a slim chance for an upset. As a result, placing a unit on Geoffrey Esper at +1200 might be a worthwhile gamble on the off chance that Chestnut falters.

Miki Sudo: The Expected Winner
