World of Outlaws Sprint Cars: Nashville West Showdown
David Gravel
+127
$45.40
World of Outlaws: Needmore Late Model Showdown
Bobby Pierce
+127
$45.40
MotoGP: San Marino
When: September 12 – September 14, 2025 Where: Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, Misano Adriatico, Italy Where to Watch: Live on MotoGP VideoPass, FS1 Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
MotoGP Riders’ Championship leader Marc Marquez returns to the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli this weekend, aiming to retain his title. The Spaniard has entered Victory Lane on Sunday, 66.67% of the time in 2025, and started his title defense off strongly, topping Practice on Friday, ahead of Marco Bezzechi. The older Marquez lines up with the best finishing average in the field over the last five races, at 1.20.
We’re sticking with the tried and tested for MotoGP San Marino. Marc Marquez has barely put a foot wrong this season, and while he did lose out to his brother last weekend, he’s entered Victory Lane seven times in the previous eight races. His dominance translates into short odds of -250, which potentially pays $28.00 on a $20 bet.
The SMX World Championship enters Playoff 2; this time, the riders assemble in St. Louis. Despite the venue change, there is no deviation from the expert pick, which remains Jett Lawrence. The Australian has taken the checkered flag in 10 out of his last 12 races and is hunting his third consecutive world title. His odds are short coming into the second leg, but we find it tough to see anyone challenging him for top honors.
Key Times (CDT):
Saturday, September 13: 450 Class Moto #1: 6:40 p.m. 450 Class Moto #2: 8:30 p.m.
Expert Pick
We’re taking the safe option for the second playoff because Jett Lawrence is currently in a class of his own. The double SMX World Champion lines up at -526, offering the potential of a $23.80 payout for a $20 stake.
NHRA: Reading Nationals
When: September 11 – September 14, 2025 Where: Maple Grove Raceway, Mohnton, PA Where to Watch: Live on NHRA.TV, FS1 Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
The first of three consecutive weekends of NHRA racing blasts off at Maple Grove Raceway this weekend. Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock Cars and Motorcycles congregate on a mission to beat the clock. The Top Fuel class offers excellent value for money, but it’s too close to call. That’s why we have our eyes on the Funny Car bracket, where Austin Prock is steamrolling his competition with seven victories in nine rounds this season. He arrives in Pennsylvania with three triumphs on the trot, only missing out on one final in the lalst six rounds.
Key Times (EDT):
Friday, September 12
Funny Car & Top Fuel Qualifying: 3:30 p.m. Funny Car & Top Fuel Qualifying: 6:00 p.m.
Saturday, September 13
Top Fuel & Funny Car Qualifying: 1:30 p.m. Top Fuel & Funny Car Qualifying: 4:00 p.m.
Sunday, September 14:
Mission Foods Drag Racing Series: From 11:00 a.m.
Expert Pick
Austin Prock is the gift that keeps on giving. He’s lived up to the hype all season and continues to obliterate his opponents. His odds are significantly shorter than his peers, but still fair at +201 for the win. At the price, if you bet $20 on Prock, you might receive a payout of $60.20.
MotoAmerica: Superbikes At Texas
When: September 12 – September 14, 2025 Where: Circuit of the Americas, Austin, TX Where to Watch: Live on MotoAmerica Live+ Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
It’s all to race for this weekend as MotoAmerica descends on Circuit of the Americas for the penultimate round of the year. The top of the Supersport and Superbike standings are tight, but Kyle Wyman already has one hand on the King of the Baggers trophy. Our interest lies in the Superbike class in Texas. Championship leader Bobby Fong is fairly priced, despite standing on top of the podium five times in his previous six races.
Key Times (CDT):
Saturday, September 13 (Race Schedule): Supersport: 2:10 p.m. Superbike: 3:10 p.m. King of the Baggers: 4:05 p.m.
Sunday, September 14 (Race Schedule): Supersport: 2:10 p.m. Superbike: 3:10 p.m. King of the Baggers: 4:05 p.m.
Expert Pick
Bobby Fong did us proud at Mid-Ohio, taking the checkered flag in the first race as we expected. So, we’re putting our faith in him again this weekend at +334. A $20 wager will potentially payout $86.80 should he prevail at the Circuit of the Americas.
BKFC 80 Hollywood: Perdomo vs Adams 2
When: Friday, September 12, 2025 Where: Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Hollywood, FL Where to Watch: Live on FuboTV Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
BKFC is back in the “Sunshine State” for the fifth round in 2025, and the rematch between Leonardo Perdomo and Arnold Adams is all the rage. However, we think Perdomo has this one in the bag and should end his opponent’s night quickly in Hollywood. We think Edgard Plazaola provides better value in his tussle with Gary Fox. The Nicaraguan has toppled his competitor in all five appearances in the squared circle, and is poised for a sixth on Friday night.
Key Times (EDT):
Fights Start: 7:00 p.m.
Expert Pick
The matchups are tough pickings for punters on Friday night, with the balance heavily tipped into the favorites corner. That led us to Edgard Plazaola, who is sitting with short odds, but better than Perdomo and Romero’s. Plazaola enters the squared circle at -834 for the win, potentially paying out $22.40 on a $20 wager.
HLR: Lernerville Speedway
When: September 12 – September 13, 2025 Where: Lernerville Speedway, Sarver, PA Where to Watch: Live on FloRacing Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
The High Rollers continue their tour of Pennsylvania with a double head at the Lernerville Speedway this weekend. Aaron Reutzel is an affordable option for the first night, despite being three races back from injury. After a shaky start at Port Royal Speedway last week, he rebounded with a victory and a third-place finish. Reutzel has proven consistent this season. Despite his stint on the sidelines, he’s averaged 5.64 across the campaign, entering Victory Lane on six occasions.
The expert pick for Lernerville Speedway is challenging, given the inconsistency of the drivers on the grid. However, Aaron Reutzel impressed us on his return from a foot injury, winning once and collecting a third-place finish last weekend. He’s favorably priced for the Commonwealth Clash preliinaries, starting at +517, and potentially paying out $123.40 on a $20 bet.
USAC: Circle City Raceway
When: Friday, September 12 Where: Circle City Raceway, Indianapolis, IN Where to Watch: Live on FloRacing Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
Justin Grant is a legend in USAC Sprint Car racing, staking claim to the title of the winningest driver. Despite his achievements, Grant arrives in Indianapolis on Friday with long odds for a driver of his caliber. Even more surprising is the fact that he’s taken two checkered flags in three races and is one victory shy of achieving a double-figure haul.
Kyle Cummins’ consistency is something to be wary of, but we can’t help us from backing Justin Grant at +924. He’s averaged 3.2 in the previous five races, thanks to two wins and a third place. Wagering $20 on the USAC record breaker potentially pays out $204.80.
World of Outlaws Sprint Cars: Nashville West Showdown
When: Friday,September 12, 2025 Where: Bakersfield Speedway, Bakersfield, CA Where to Watch: Live on DIRTVision Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
The “Greatest Show on Dirt” kicks off its Californian tour in Bakersfield Speedway on Friday night. Series leader David Gravel unsurprisingly lines up as the driver to beat, after clinching his 13th win of the campaign in New Mexico last time out. Gravel has maintained a consistent run this year, with a season’s average of 3.44, which drops to 1.8 when we factor in his last five results.
Key Times – Daily (PDT)
Pit Gates Open: 2:00 p.m. Grandstand Opens: 5:00 p.m. Hot Laps: 6:30 p.m. (Racing to follow)
Expert Pick
His consistency throughout the season and recent victorious form makes David Gravel the easy expert pick for the visit to Bakersfield. His odds are relatively short at +127, but it offers a potential return of $45.40 for a $20 bet.
World of Outlaws: Needmore Late Model Showdown
When: Friday,September 12, 2025 Where: Needmore Speedway, Norman Park, GA Where to Watch: Live on DIRTVision Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
Dominant is an understatement when we look at Bobby Pierce’s last four races. He’s taken top honors every time and now has 11 victories under the hood this season. Pierce leads the series by 108 points over Nick Hoffman, heading into the Needmore Late Model Showdown. His average sits at 3.0 his last 10 starts, better than any other driver on the grid.
Bobby Pierce makes our lives easier for the visit to Needmore Speedway, entering after claiming his 11th checkered flag of the year. His odds are short at +127 for good reason, potentially paying out $45.40 when you wager $20.
