A quiet period lies ahead for alternative sports over the weekend of November 21st, led by Formula 1 Las Vegas and backed up by LUX Fight League down in Monterrey. Lando Norris is looking to extend his Drivers’ Championship lead with three weekends remaining on the calendar. South of the border, Alejandro Corrales takes on Irvin Amaya for the featherweight world title, but an unbeaten Damian Fernandez offers value for money against André Barquero. Here is a look at your NXTbets expert pick roundup.
When: November 20 – November 22, 2025 Where: Las Vegas Strip Circuit, Las Vegas, NV Where to Watch: Live on ESPN and F1 TV Pro Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
Thursday kicks off the final triple header of the Formula 1 season as cars depart the pits for the first practice sessions in Las Vegas. Lando Norris overwhelmingly favored for glory on the streets of “Sin City,” but McLaren hasn’t fared well on these types of circuits in recent outings, last winning a street race in Monaco. George Russell, on the other hand, has excelled on the public road tracks, winning twice in his last three races on similar designs. He also lines up as the defending champion in Nevada, but is priced favorably.
Key Times (PST):
Thursday, November 20: Practice #1: 4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Practice #2: 8:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m
Friday, November 21: Practice #3: 4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Qualifying: 8:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Saturday, November 22: Race: 8:00 p.m.
Expert Pick
In recent weeks, we’ve witnessed a classy Lando Norris, obliterating his opponents, but we think this circuit might hamper the McLarens. Therefore, we’re seeking value ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, in the form of George Russell. He averages 1.33 in his last three races on Street Circuits, with two victories in the portfolio.
LUX 056
When: Friday, November 21, 2025 Where: Showcenter Complex, Monterrey, Mexico Where to Watch: Live on UFC Fight Pass Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
Professional MMA returns to the octagon in Monterrey on Friday night courtesy of LUX 056. The featherweight title match is grabbing the headlines. Alejandro Corrales is favored to clinch the title, carrying a career record of 8-3-0, compared to his more seasoned opponent Irvin Amaya with 12-5-0. However, we’re more interested in an earlier fight where a high-flying Damian Fernandez starts as an underdog against the Costa Rican, André Barquero. Fernandez has fought five bouts in his professional career, prevailing twice via knockout and three times via unanimous decision. Barquero is a 13-battle veteran boasting an 84.6% success rate.
Key Times (CST):
Fights Start: 9:00 p.m.
Expert Pick
Damian Fernandez sticks out for his value for money, despite being unbeaten in five outings. He is battling a more experienced hand in the form of André Barquero, but he’s looked dominant so far, recording two knockouts and three unanimous decisions. We think he can topple the veteran here at +100, where a $20.00 wager potential pays out $40.00.
USAC Midgets: Merced Speedway Night 1
When: Friday, November 21, 2025 Where: Thunderbowl Raceway, Tulare, CA Where to Watch: Live on FloRacing Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
Cannon McIntosh and Justin Grant are engulfed in an intense battle for the USAC Midget Series dominance leading into Merced Speedway. Only four races remain in the season, and while the title race is exciting, the 2024 Champion, Daison Pursley, has stolen the attention for this race. He starts as the favorite after prevailing in the previous two events. His presence appears to have shocked the regulars on the grid, and he’s the in-form driver leading into the final week of the campaign.
Key Times (PST)
Drivers Meet: 5:30 p.m. (heats and racing to follow) Hot Laps: 6:00 p.m.
Expert Pick
The in-form Daison Pursley enters Merced Speedway as the driver to beat. He’s raced midgets part-time this year but still has four podiums in the trunk, including his two triumphs in as many races. He starts the opening night in Merced at +170 for the checkered flag, potentially paying out $54.00 on a $20 wager.
