Best Bets and Picks for Cooper Tires PBR Billings

Top Picks

Dalton Kasel (+900)

“Mr 90 Points”, Dalton Kasel is proving unstoppable at the back end of the season, with four podiums in his last five events. Three of those podiums saw him take the top spot, which is why the Austin Gamblers’ ace is comfortably leading the series. Out of his six overall podiums in this campaign, he was victorious in four of them. Adding to his form was a 93.50 ride in the Championship round last weekend on the #1 ranked bull, Man Hater.

Brady Fielder (+1000)

Series chaser Brady Fielder has a wider margin to close if he is to reel in Dalton Kasel before the elimination rounds begin. The Australian has held on for four podiums in his last seven outings, and he’s returned to the winner’s circle twice this season. Fielder finished third in Sioux Falls, earning his first podium since Louisville.

Sage Steele Kimzey (+1200):

The last two rounds have proved challenging for Sage Steele Kimzey, finishing outside the top 10 for the seventh and eighth time this season. Kimzey enjoyed a successful run between Salt Lake City and Palm Springs when he collected three podium results in five events. The Oklahoman starts in Montana in fourth on the standings within striking distance of John Crimber.

Outsider Picks

John Crimber (+1200)

Early series leader John Crimber is now ranked third in the series after stringing consecutive top 10s together. The Decatur native held on for two wins earlier in the season, the only occasions he journeyed onto the podium. Crimber ended fourth in Sioux Falls, his best return since Chicago in January.

Cort McFadden (+1400):

Texan Cort McFadden has tidied up his act in recent weeks, bringing consistency to an erratic report card. McFadden ended outside of the top 20 in seven rounds until Little Rock but has rebounded to collect three top fives in his previous four rides. His best results this campaign were a runner-up in Albany followed by a third place in Chicago two weeks later.

Paulo Eduardo Rossetto (+1600):

Paulo Eduardo Rossetto is a consistent campaigner who boasts seven top 10s in his last ten rides. Rossetto holds fond memories of Billings after finishing third here in 2024, but he’s out for the buckle this year. After claiming his maiden season victory in Albuquerque, Rossetto backed it up with a top-10 performance last weekend.

Expert Pick

Series leader Dalton Kasel is the easy expert pick this weekend, with four podiums, including three wins in his last five starts. Despite his dominant riding in recent weeks, Kasel is favorably priced at +900, offering a potential payout of $200 on a $20.
