Thanksgiving has come and gone, and it’s time to look ahead to the weekend of November 28th, where motorsports are the order of the day. Max Verstappen is chasing a hat trick of victories in Qatar and lines up as the favorite, and Eli Tomac is the rider to beat in the World Supercross Australian GP. Outside of asphalt and dirt, the Real American Freestyle promotional presents its third event, where Michael Chandler is the favorite to don the middleweight belt. This is your NXTbets expert pick roundup for the events coming your way over the next three days.
When: November 28 – November 30, 2025 Where: Lusail International Circuit, Doha, Qatar Where to Watch: Live on ESPN and F1 TV Pro Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
Only 24 points separate Lando Norris from Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri in the Drivers’ Championship. Verstappen touches down in Doha as the favorite after prevailing in his past two Qatar Grand Prix starts. This weekend, he’ll need to win the sprint as well if he is to take the title fight into the final round in Abu Dhabi next weekend. The four-time World Champion is the in-form driver, averaging 2.7 in his previous 10 starts, and capturing an 80% podium return. Verstappen is fresh off his sixth triumph of the campaign, with four of them arriving in the last seven rounds.
Key Times (AST):
Friday, November 28: Practice #1: 4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Sprint Qualifying: 8:30 p.m. – 9:14 p.m
After an impressive drive in “Sin City,” we are liking Max Verstappen’s chances of snatching the Drivers’ Championship at the death. However, he’ll first need to prevail in Qatar this weekend, a venue where he’s won the last two Grand Prix, and is chasing a hat-trick. The sportsbooks have the Dutchman at +126 to grab the spoils, offering a prospective payday of $45.20 for a $20.00 stake.
World Supercross: Australian GP
When: Saturday, November 29, 2025 Where: Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia Where to Watch: Live on WSX Recast Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
What a lineup the World Supercross series has in store for the Australian GP. The wildcards steal the show in the form of Haiden Deegan, Cooper Webb, and Eli Tomac, with the latter lining up as the favorite. Tomac prevailed in Canada in round two and took top honors on his last visit Down Under, but he’ll have to fend off a feisty Ken Roczen, who leads the Championship. Roczen took the checkered flag in Buenos Aires, but settled for runner-up behind Tomac last time out. In this round, the leader will face the added pressure of World Supercross debutant and 2025 AMA Supercross Champion Webb.
Key Times (AEST) Start: 6:00 p.m. Finish: 10:00 p.m.
Expert Pick
Ken Roczen’s value for money is tempting leading into the Australian GP, but we’re playing it safe and sticking with Eli Tomac. He delivered for us in Vancouver, winning two of three races, and he’s the defending World Supercross SX1 Champion. His odds are short for a valid reason at -112, but he’s potentially paying out $37.86 on a $20.00 wager.
RAF 03 Chicago: Mendes vs Chandler
When: Saturday, November 29, 2025 Where: Wintrust Arena, Chicago, IL Where to Watch: Live on Fox Nation Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
Real American Freestyle wrestling takes over Chicago on Saturday night, and three titles are at stake. Real Woods is tipped to snatch the Featherweight Championship, and Olympic silver medalist Kennedy Blades is overwhelmingly favored for glory in her middleweight debut. While the early fights will warm up a chilly Chicago evening, our focus is firmly on former UFC fighters Michael Chandler and Chad Mendes. Both are accomplished combatants, but Chandler has faced up to some of the biggest names in martial arts more recently, lasting three rounds with the likes of Dustin Poirier and Paddy Pimblett. He boasts a career record of 23-10-0 against the slightly less experienced, but impressive portfolio of Mendes at 18-5-0.
Key Times (EST)
Fights Start: 9:00 p.m.
Expert Pick
Michael Chandler debuts in the RAF on Saturday night, but he’s a seasoned combat sports veteran. Chandler has proven his worth in the world’s best MMA promotions and has excited the wrestling world by returning to his roots on the mat. He is fresh from the UFC and proudly carries a 23-10-0 record into this bout. Chandler starts this matchup at -174, potentially paying out $31.49 on a $20 bet.
