User blog comment:DennisRocking/Dennis Rap Battles. Smaug VS Deathwing/@comment-9623756-20161014175939/@comment-24322797-20161015004556

it depends on how you say smaug. ive always said it "smog" but in the actual books i think it's said similar to "sm-ow-gh." i think it's still justifiable to say "smog" though, it's not an uncommon pronunication

so technically they're both right

also, i do think that eight lines is easily an excessive advantage, as it's basically an entire third verse that smaug didnt get to refute, but its not like uneven verse lengths have been done before.
