Motorcycle racing fans are the center of attention this weekend as we prepare for the final round of the MotoAmerica season. Over in Asia, Marc Marquez has his first chance to secure the 2025 MotoGP Riders Championship on Sunday. Off the asphalt, combat fans are set for a treat when 2008 Olympic Gold medalist, James DeGale, makes his BKFC debut in Manchester. The program is stacked with betting opportunities over the next three days, and our NXTbets expert pick roundup will point you in the right direction over the weekend of September 26th.
When: September 26 – September 28, 2025 Where: Mobility Resort Motegi, Tochigi, Japan Where to Watch: Live on MotoGP VideoPass, FS1 Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
Six-time MotoGP Champion Marc Marquez is on the cusp of a seventh title. All he needs to do is depart Japan on Sunday, leading the Championship by 185 points or more. At that stage, it would prove impossible for his younger brother and nearest challenger, Alex, to catch him. “The Ant of Cervera” lines up at Motegi with a whopping 11 trips inside Victory Lane this season, only missing the podium twice in 16 starts. His scintillating form is further highlighted by his eight checkered flags in the last nine outings.
His odds are short, but a logical person can’t look beyond Marc Marquez’s dominant record this season. He averages 1.63 in his last 11 races, highlighting his winning consistency. “The Ant of Cervera” enters MotoGP Japan at -250 for the win. Placing $20 on the Championship leader offers a potential payout of $28.00.
MotoAmerica: Superbikes At New Jersey
When: September 26 – September 28, 2025 Where: New Jersey Motorsports Park, Millville, NJ Where to Watch: Live on MotoAmerica Live+ Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
The curtain drops on the 2025 MotoAmerica season this weekend at the New Jersey Motorsports Park. Kyle Wyman arrives as the newly crowned King of the Baggers Champion, while the Supersport and Superbike brackets are yet to be decided. South African Mathew Scholtz is closing in on his Supersport title defence, while Bobby Fong leads the Superbike division. Fong is eight points ahead of Beaubier in the standings and lines up fresh off nine consecutive podiums, including five victories.
Key Times (EDT):
Saturday, September 27 (Race Schedule): Supersport: 2:10 p.m. Superbike: 3:10 p.m. King of the Baggers: 4:05 p.m.
Sunday, September 28 (Race Schedule): Supersport: 2:10 p.m. Superbike: 3:12 p.m. King of the Baggers: 4:05 p.m.
Expert Pick
Picking a winner in the Superbike category has remained a challenge throughout the season, with Fong, Beaubier, and Herrin all excelling. However, we are sticking with Bobby Fong heading into the decider, given his outstanding consistency in recent months. He starts at +268 to win the first race, potentially paying out $73.60.
NHRA: Midwest Nationals
When: September 26 – September 28, 2025 Where: World Wide Technology Raceway, Madison, IL Where to Watch: Live on NHRA.TV, FS1 Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
Three rounds remain in the 2025 NHRA season as the drag racers contest the Midwest Nationals. The Top Fuel category remains the most tightly contested class this season, while Austin Prock continues to control the narrative in the Funny Cars. Our focus turns to Dallas Glenn in the Pro Stock competition, a driver who has featured in 78.57% of all finals this season, taking six checkered flags. Glenn returns to the World Wide Technology Raceway as the defending champion in this class, and a two-time finalist in the last three
Key Times (CDT):
Friday, September 26: Pro Stock Qualifying (PS & PSM): 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Nitro Qualifying Session (FC & TF): 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

Sunday, September 28: Eliminations Begin: 11:00 a.m.
Expert Pick
Dallas Glenn produced the goods for us last weekend at the zMax Dragway, and given his current form, he can do it again. He enters as the category leader ahead of Greg Anderson by 79 units. The favorite takes off at World Wide Technology Raceway at +265 for the win. That means a $20 wager stands to payout approximately $73.00.
DGPT: 2025 MVP Open
When: September 25 – September 28, 2025 Where: Maple Hill Disc Golf, Leicester, MA Where to Watch: Live on Disc Golf Network Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
Professional disc golf is inching closer to the coveted Tour Championship, with only two playoff tournaments remaining. First, the players must conquer the MVP Open at Maple Hill disc golf course, where Gannon Buhr is heavily tipped for a seventh triumph of the season. Despite his brilliance, we are interested in the FPO bracket, where players offer better value for money. We’re putting our faith in Missy Gannon this weekend as she arrives with three consecutive top-two finishes in the bag, including a victory in the Great Lakes Open earlier in September.
Key Times (EDT):
Friday, September 26: FPO: 9:00 a.m. MPO: 2:00 p.m.
Saturday, September 27: FPO: 9:00 a.m. MPO: 2:00 p.m.
Sunday, September 28: FPO: 9:00 a.m. MPO: 2:00 p.m.
Expert Pick
The FPO division remains the toughest to call this season, with four players very evenly matched. Our trust lies in Missy Gannon for this weekend, given her historical record at this course and her recent form. The three-time winner this term heads off on Thursday at +290 for the win. You have the potential to earn $78.00 from a $20 wager if she prevails.
PBR Teams: Rattler Days
When: September 26 – September 28, 2025 Where: Dickies Arena, Fort Worth, TX Where to Watch: Live on PBR App, Ridepass, Fox Nation, CW PBR Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
Round nine of the 2025 PBR Team Series continues in Texas with the Rattler Days weekend. The Florida Freedom enters the weekend at the head of the standings after clinching 76.92% of their matchups so far this campaign. Despite the dominance of the men from the Sunshine State, we are intrigued by the Missouri Thunder in their battle against the Nashville Stampede. The Thunder are the Underdogs, but they sit three spots higher on the standings compared to their rivals. They’ve come out on top in 11 matches this year, three more than their rivals from Music City.
Key Times (CDT):
Friday, September 26: 7:45 p.m. Saturday, September 27: 6:45 p.m. Saturday, September 28: 1:45 p.m.
Expert Pick
Missouri Thunder enters the bucking chute in the first match on Friday night as the underdogs, priced at +100. They’ve prevailed twice in three tightly fought contests against the Nashville Stampede this campaign. Wagering $20 on the men from the Midwest stands to payout $20.00, should they topple their Nashville rivals.
LUX 055
When: Friday, September 26, 2025 Where: Centro Deportivo de Artes Marciales, Guadalajara, Mexico Where to Watch: Live on UFC Fight Pass Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
Latin America’s premier MMA fight league returns to action on Friday night in Guadalajara. LUX 055 treats us to one title fight, in the form of the Women’s Atomweight World Championship. Anuar Aburto headlines the main fight card and is expected to overcome his veteran rival. We’re hooked on the co-main event where debutant Walter Zamora is expected to see off Nicaraguan, Julio Ruiz. Ruiz arrives as the underdog, but he’s only ever lost one fight in eight career appearances.
Key Times (CST):
Fights Start: 8:00 p.m.
Expert Pick
Julio Ruiz takes on the role of the underdog in his matchup with Walter Zamora, but he’s a solid fighter who has triumphed in 87.5% of his brawls. He enters LUX 055 at -105, with a $20 wager potentially paying out $38.87.
BKFC 81: Manchester
When: Saturday, September 27, 2025 Where: AO Arena, Manchester, United Kingdom Where to Watch: Live on FuboTV Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
Bare-knuckle fighting is back in Manchester for the second date in 2025. The evening is headlined by the BKFC debut of 2008 Middleweight Olympic Champion James DeGale. He’s the favorite to topple his opponent, Matt Floyd, but the latter is an accomplished boxer himself, having only ever lost twice in 17 trips inside the ring. Another plus for the Floyd corner is his recent fight history; he last appeared in June, but like DeGale, he enters the squared circle for the first time on Saturday.
Key Times (BST):
Fights Start: 7:00 p.m.
Expert Pick
Matt Floyd takes his first steps into the squared circle on Saturday as the slight underdog against James DeGale. While the latter has excelled at the highest levels of boxing, age is against him in this encounter, and he faces an energized Floyd, who has only lost twice in 17 appearances. We think “The Jedi” has the goods to outclass DeGale at -102. Wagering $20 at that price has the potential to payout $39.61.
USAC Sprint Car: Paragon Speedway

USAC sprint cars travel to the Midwest this weekend for a double header. It all starts on Friday night when racers report for duty at the Paragon Speedway. Kyle Cummins leads the series and the odds ahead of the showdown, entering with a 60% podium record in his previous 10 outings. He also carries the lowest the best season finishing average on the grid at 4.88. One downside for Cummins is his lack of winning form of late, last entering Victory Lane in June.
Kyle Cummins hasn’t entered Victory Lane since the back end of June, but his reliability can’t be ignored. The series leader has accumulated 23 top threes this season, taking top honors in seven races. He enters Paragon Speedway priced at +180, offering a possible payout of $56.00 on a $20.00 wager.
World of Outlaws: Sheldon Haudenschild Buckeye Brawl
When: Friday, September 26 Where: Millstream Speedway, Findlay, OH Where to Watch: Live on DIRTVision Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
Friday marks a momentous occasion for the “Greatest Show on Dirt” as the sprint cars return to Millstream Speedway for the first time in over 30 years. David Gravel tops the odds heading into the Buckeye Brawl off the back of his 14th triumph of the campaign. He’s retained his form throughout the series and is tough to topple, but we like the current form of Michael “Buddy” Kofoid who’s averaged 2.6 in his previous 10 races, taking top honors in three meetings.
Key Times – Daily (EDT)
Pit Gates Open: 2:00 p.m. Hot Laps: 6:30 p.m. (Racing to follow)
