Billy Ward echoed the betting angle on Jessica Andrade and framed her as a prime DFS tournament play. He compared her to Kevin Holland for bouncing between divisions but noted she performs best when making the 115-pound cut because the discipline sharpens her and she carries fight-ending power most strawweights lack. At 33 she has mileage—29 UFC bouts—but is only a year older than Godinez. Ward wants plus-money tickets and plans heavy DFS exposure: floor of a decision loss, ceiling of a knockout win.

Sean Zerillo said Jessica Andrade is undervalued back at 115 lbs against Lupita Godinez. His numbers call the moneyline a coin-flip and price Andrade-by-decision at +170, yet bettors can find +125 and +270 respectively. Zerillo cited Andrade’s historic power advantage at strawweight and believes the stricter weight-cut discipline improves her overall form. Although Godinez’s chain wrestling could threaten a finish, Zerillo sees actionable value on Andrade +110 or better and her decision prop shorter than +200.

Andy Lang warned bettors not to auto-parlay the Over or ‘fight goes distance’ in Lupita Godinez vs Jessica Andrade. He noted recent women’s bouts where presumed durability imploded (Rebosos–Baby Shark) and outlined two finishing paths: a checked-out Andrade collecting a paycheck and capitulating on the mat, or a vintage Andrade blitz scoring a knockout. Either way, Lang thinks banking on 15 full minutes is dangerous and suggests avoiding over props or looking at inside-the-distance plus money.

Dan Tom sided with Jessica Andrade as the plus-money play despite Lupita Godinez being the consensus minutes-winner. Tom re-watched Godinez’s most recent bout against Sam Hughes replacement Melissa Palastri and noticed Palastri landing more strikes off her back, a red flag considering judges are still failing to reward takedown optics. Andrade owns the clear high-impact striking advantage, carries 40 fights of experience, and only needs to show up at a "post-prime baseline" to give Godinez serious problems. With the line drifting toward Godinez because of her perceived cardio edge, Tom believes the market is underrating Andrade’s big-moment potential and is comfortable taking the underdog moneyline rather than laying juice on a volatile favorite.

Dan Tom leaned toward taking the +125 on Jessica Andrade, framing it as a "show-me" underdog spot. He reminded listeners that Andrade is returning to strawweight, where her last outing was a debated split with Marina Rodriguez after previously starching Mackenzie Dern. Tom attributes her recent skid at 125 to personal turmoil and camp changes that now appear resolved as she trains alongside Carol Hosa. He cautioned that Godinez’s UFC sample is padded by wins over opponents lacking serious grappling; whenever she meets strong grapplers she either loses or scrapes by split decisions, even struggling with a diminished Jessica Penne. Andrade’s high-impact striking and proven finishing ability give her the optics judges reward, and Tom feels those swing moments make the dog price worth a small stab despite Godinez being the rightful favourite overall.
