Sean Zerillo emphasized caution when betting Chase Hooper, explicitly highlighting Jim Miller's substantial round-one upset potential at UFC 314. Zerillo specifically pointed out Miller's superior early striking power, referencing Hooper's previous vulnerability, as with the early Steve Garcia fight. He highlighted Miller's credible guillotine choke threat, particularly if Hooper confidently shoots takedowns early in the bout. Although ultimately favoring Hooper as fights extend, Zerillo strongly warned against completely writing off Miller's significant and underestimated first-round KO or submission threats, creating potential betting value with long odds on Miller in round one.

Matty Betss reinforced his stance on Jim Miller as an attractive underdog KO prop bet at massive +1500 odds against Chase Hooper. He pointed out that while Hooper has progressed physically since his initial UFC appearances, he's still vulnerable on the ground if he can't secure his submissions. Matty specifically liked Miller's physicality, toughness, and veteran savvy to potentially control positions on the ground and finish with ground-and-pound strikes. Despite recognizing Hooper's clear path to victory through submission, Matty stressed the exceptional value offered by Miller's KO odds, given his experience and capable striking from top position.

Matty Betss mentioned Jim Miller as a compelling longshot KO bet at +1500 odds against Chase Hooper. He broke down a potential game script where Hooper, the young submission specialist, aggressively pursues ground submission attempts but struggles to secure them. Matty believes Miller's veteran ground skills and power could allow him to reverse positions, posture up, and land a fight-ending ground-and-pound KO. Matty specifically noted that playing the submission game with Miller could backfire for Hooper, describing Miller as physically imposing enough to dominate via ground strikes. Despite acknowledging Hooper's superior current jiu-jitsu skills, Matty feels the extremely high odds (+1500) provide irresistible upside for this longshot scenario playing out.

Dave Ross likes Jim Miller at long odds (+1500) as an intriguing knockout prop against Chase Hooper. Ross envisions a scenario where this fight goes to the ground, with Miller using his physicality and ground-and-pound skills from top control to impose damage. He reasons Hooper's improved stature and skill notwithstanding, Miller's experience and positional dominance may be too overwhelming, enabling him to posture up and deliver fight-ending strikes. Ross suggests Miller still has one great fight left, making the significant plus-money KO prop a tempting speculative bet.

Dave Ross suggests a speculative play on Jim Miller winning via knockout at massive +1500 odds against Chase Hooper. Ross sees Hooper possibly overestimating himself grappling against the veteran Miller, getting caught on the ground unable to secure submissions. In that scenario, he envisions Miller, a seasoned fighter with underrated positional awareness and power, capitalizing in ground-and-pound scenarios. Despite Hooper being younger, bigger and likely having better overall jiu-jitsu, Ross still sees real value at huge odds for a savvy fighter like Miller landing significant ground strikes and potentially scoring a fight-ending stoppage if Hooper makes a positional mistake.

The Weasle highlights Jim Miller as an intriguing betting underdog at +550 against Chase Hooper. Despite recognizing Hooper as likely to win the matchup primarily due to age, trajectory, and stylistic advantages, The Weasle feels the betting line severely undervalues Miller’s extensive UFC experience, durability, and veteran savvy. Miller has remained competitive across a long UFC tenure against top-level opponents and continues to demonstrate intelligent adaptability inside the octagon. Given the significant experience disparity, Hooper being priced so heavily at -800 creates a favorable opportunity to take a speculative flyer—a profitable longshot scenario—on Miller's considerably inflated odds.

Tim Bissell argued for betting the Over 1.5 rounds (-166) in the UFC 314 matchup between Jim Miller and Chase Hooper. Despite Miller's age, Bissell saw it as disrespectful to expect an early loss detection against Hooper. Hooper has evolved but Miller's experience, durability, and cage-craft make an early finish improbable, ensuring this fight extends into deeper rounds. Betting Over 1.5 rounds thus represents attractive value based on the respect Miller commands and durability displayed across his UFC tenure.
