Starting Time of Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest and Odds

What time does the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest start?

You can watch on ESPN at Noon Eastern Standard Time and don't think you will be alone. 

The Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest is a ratings bonanza for what would otherwise be a slow 4th of July day.  ESPN had over 1.5 million households tune in last year and that number could be much higher Sunday, especially with the controversy surrounding whether Kobayashi will compete or not.

Another 30,000 spectators will be watching the event live in Coney Island, New York.
