Spring Creek Motocross betting, predictions, lines: Jett Lawrence dominance drags competition's champ odds
Jett Lawrence extended his points lead at RedBud to more than one full round, which triggered an interesting response from the official oddsmaker for Pro Motocross entering Spring Creek. Alt Sports Data gave him an opening line of -99900, effectively suggesting that sportsbooks eliminate the potential for bettors to wager on this outcome. That would also suggest that wagers were still being made by well-heeled individuals when he entered Southwick at -1127 and at RedBud at -1572. The significance of this is that subsequent lines were also massively altered. Last week, second-place rider Eli Tomac was listed at +532 for the championship. His raw odds opened this week at +4267 after a mechanical failure in Moto 1 at RedBud virtually ended Tomac's title hopes. Hunter Lawrence was +1718 to win the championship last week. Moving to second in points, he is currently listed at +2617. While the traders are correct that Jett will not be caught if he remains healthy, dirt bike racing is inherently unpredictable, and should an injury occur, now might be a good time to speculate. Jett injured his thumb in practice last year, and the same unlikely injury kept Tomac from starting the 2024 Motocross season. As for outright win odds, Jett also underwent a massive change from -307 to -800. The risk versus reward ratio is skewed to discourage a wager on the rider everyone knows is going to win, but that is again predicated on his health. Hunter (+475) remains the second-favored rider with a line barely changed from his +451 entering RedBud. He finished second overall with a second-place finish in Moto 1 and a third-place finish in the second race. Traders continue to think highly of Chase Sexton (+763), who is once more ranked third in odds. He did not look particularly crisp last week in Michigan, but he scored a top-five based on results of fifth and fourth. Surprisingly, his podium odds (as well as those for Jett and Hunter) were suggested to be at the same prohibitive level as Jett's championship line. Tomac's (1569) mechanical issue in Moto 1 altered the equation significantly. He was a compelling choice last week at +833 and is even more so at Spring Creek. Sexton (-173) and Tomac (+129) are also listed in a head-to-head matchup this week. At this stage of the season, Tomac is in better race shape. If he can put last week behind him, this could be an interesting wager. RJ Hampshire (-121) faces off against Tony Cairoli (-109) in another matchup. This is a novelty bet at best, but the debut of Ducati went well at RedBud, and they have had a week to work out the mechanical that sidelined Cairoli in Moto 2. Opening Odds, Outright Overall Win Jett Lawrence, -800 Hunter Lawrence, +475 Chase Sexton, +763 Eli Tomac, +1569 Justin Cooper, +3290 Aaron Plessinger, +3576 RJ Hampshire, +5888 Tony Cairoli, +6436 Cooper Webb, +11805 Jason Anderson, +11805 Jorge Prado, +13058 Justin Barcia, +13058 Malcolm Stewart, +13058 Coty Schock, +13985 Harri Kullas, +13985 Joey Savatgy, +14606 Benoit Paturel, +14606 Valentin Guillod, +15052 Marshal Weltin, +15052 Colt Nichols, +15285 Derek Kelley, +15285 Romain Pape, +15285 Lorenzo Locurcio, +15285 Grant Harlan, +15285 Opening Odds, Overall Podium Jett Lawrence, -9999900 Hunter Lawrence, -9999900 Chase Sexton, -9999900 Eli Tomac, -259 Aaron Plessinger, -126 Justin Cooper, -109 RJ Hampshire, +280 Cooper Webb, +773 Jason Anderson, +834 Justin Barcia, +1247 Jorge Prado, +1483 Tony Cairoli, +3437 Malcolm Stewart, +4230 Joey Savatgy, +4230 Harri Kullas, +4230 Benoit Paturel, +4230 Coty Schock, +4230 Grant Harlan, +4230 Valentin Guillod, +4230 Marshal Weltin, +4230 Lorenzo Locurcio, +4230 Colt Nichols, +4230 Romain Pape, +4230 Derek Kelley, +4230 More SuperMotocross News RedBud 450 results | 250 results Jo Shimoda earns RedBud sweep, becomes third 250 winner Jett Lawrence crashes in Moto 2 before sweeping RedBud Jo Shimoda wins RedBud Moto 1, Haiden Deegan crashes Jett Lawrence wins RedBud Moto 1, Eli Tomac retires RedBud 450 Qualification | 250 Qualification RedBud Preview | Betting Guide Chase Sexton set to return at RedBud Motocross community mourns the death of Aidan Zingg Jett Lawrence sweeps Southwick for fifth win of 2025

RedBud Motocross betting, predictions, lines: Chase Sexton return makes Eli Tomac's odds compelling
The return of Chase Sexton to the lineup for the RedBud Nationals had a ripple effect through the opening odds for Round 6 of the Pro Motocross season in Buchanan, Michigan. Last week at The Wick 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts, Jett Lawrence made two statement rides, easily outperforming the field in both motos. The most likely outcome of that domination would have been that Jett's odds at RedBud would have lengthened, but with Sexton's return and the increased competition, he became slightly more attractive, moving from -380 to minus -307. Wagering $300 for the chance to win $100 is still a risky proposition, but betting odds often provide a unique perspective on the relative strength of the field. Advertisement Sexton's return also impacted Eli Tomac's odds, making him an attractive bet both in reference to the outright win and to score a podium. Tomac has averaged an opening line of about 5/2 during the past four Nationals, but the traders at Alt Sports Data, the official linemaker for the SuperMotocross Championship, are showing very little faith in the veteran. His outright win odds moved substantially from +242 last week to +833 for RedBud. Tomac also sports positive odds for a podium at +127. While the increased line has as much to do with the traders' opinion that Jett is virtually unbeatable, Tomac fell from being the third-most attractive rider in their eyes to his being fourth. Alt Sports is not quite willing to place Sexton in the second slot this week. That honor goes to Hunter Lawrence (+451), who finished second in both Southwick motos. His steady performance during the past several weeks has awakened the traders to his potential as Hunter had nearly 400 points shaved from his line compared to Southwick's +841. The surprise of the week may well be Sexton landing third on the chart. His odds of +590 provide a lot of upside if Jett makes a mistake and Sexton is truly prepared for his return. After Jett's departure from the lineup last year before the RedBud Nationals, Sexton swept the season and won the Motocross championship. His prospectus against a healthy Jett is not as promising, however, and he finished behind him in every race they have contested with the sole exception of Jett's crash last year at Hangtown. Advertisement Aaron Plessinger (+1888) is fifth on the chart this week despite failing to score an overall top-five at Southwick. That sandy track did not suit his riding style and he struggled, but that will increase his desire to rebound during the weekend when his teammate, Sexton, returns to the lineup. Few expect Plessinger to win, but with a line of +213 to podium, a modest wager could be made. Another podium bet worth considering is for Jorge Prado (+13414 for outright win) who had a raw opening line of +1786 to stand somewhere on the box. Prado earned his first overall top-five last week at The Wick but he contended for podiums in both races. Justin Cooper (+2733) narrowly kept his top-five streak alive last week. He is the only other rider under 100/1 for the outright win. Bettors who favor a deep strategy might wish to place a modest wager on him. Opening Odds, Outright Overall Win Jett Lawrence, -307 Hunter Lawrence, +451 Chase Sexton, +590 Eli Tomac, +833 Aaron Plessinger, +1888 Justin Cooper, +2733 Cooper Webb, +12246 Jason Anderson, +12246 RJ Hampshire, +12246 Justin Barcia, +13414 Malcolm Stewart, +13414 Jorge Prado, +13414 Joey Savatgy, +13414 Lorenzo Locurcio, +14393 Harri Kullas, +14393 Valentin Guillod, +14393 Benoit Paturel, +14393 Mitchell Harrison, +15285 Derek Drake, +15525 Grant Harlan, +15525 Romain Pape, +15525 Colt Nichols, +15525 Derek Kelley, +15525 Coty Schock, +15525 Advertisement Opening Odds, Overall Podium Jett Lawrence, -2400 Hunter Lawrence, -163 Chase Sexton, -108 Eli Tomac, +127 Aaron Plessinger, +213 Justin Cooper, +300 RJ Hampshire, +487 Cooper Webb, +569 Jason Anderson, +698 Justin Barcia, +1190 Jorge Prado, +1786 Joey Savatgy, +3446 Malcolm Stewart, +4240 Benoit Paturel, +4240 Harri Kullas, +4240 Coty Schock, +4240 Valentin Guillod, +4240 Grant Harlan, +4240 Colt Nichols, +4240 Lorenzo Locurcio, +4240 Mitchell Harrison, +4240 Romain Pape, +4240 Derek Kelley, +4240 Derek Drake, +4240 More SuperMotocross News Chase Sexton set to return at RedBud Southwick 450 results | 250 results Motocross community mourns the death of Aidan Zingg Jett Lawrence sweeps Southwick for fifth win of 2025 Haiden Deegan earns truly perfect round at Southwick Jett Lawrence runs away from field in Southwick Moto 1 Haiden Deegan wins Southwick Moto 1 by 25 seconds Justin Barcia to return from knee injury in Southwick Drew Adams sidelined with broken finger Jo Shimoda highlights Japanese MXoN team

Southwick Motocross betting, predictions, odds, picks, lines: Justin Cooper's odds stabilized
As the field heads into The Wick 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts, Jett Lawrence's outright overall victory odds (-380) continue to become less attractive after he scored his fourth Nationals victory of 2025, but Eli Tomac's (+242) were also trimmed this week after earning his second moto win at High Point. Last week in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania, Jett proved that even when things do not go his way in the outdoor series, he remains untouchable in terms of the overall win. He was caught off guard when rain fell at the gate drop of the second moto, and an overabundance of caution dropped him into a battle for 10th in the first turn. Jett's confidence is at an astronomical level, as he has lost only one overall outdoor National in the three years he's raced in the 450 Pro Motocross series. He kept his emotions in check and steadily rode through the field to third just prior to the race being red-flagged with seven minutes remaining on the clock. Meanwhile, Jett's odds to win the championship skyrocketed to -1127 compared to Tomac's +546. Jett has a 28-point lead over the competition, which is more than one moto. Look for that gap to continue to grow until Tomac trims points away from the presumptive champion in consecutive weeks. But Tomac is not lacking in confidence either. He's been in the series long enough to know that if he keeps the pressure on and avoids injury, it's a matter of time before he puts two strong motos together and wins the overall. His weakness in 2025 has been the ability to experience two solid gate drops. In High Point, he struggled in Moto 1 and used up his reserves before becoming a part of a three-rider battle for third. He finished fifth, but was only one second off pace to standing on the podium in that moto and scoring the overall victory. Scoring his second podium of the season, Hunter Lawrence (+841) remains the only other rider under 10/1 in opening raw odds. Hunter began the season with long odds of +1648 in Pala, California, and after finishing third in that round, traders overcompensated, giving him +558 odds at Hangtown. His last three rounds landed between +841 and +862, which is a reasonable return on investment. Hunter has been uneven this year as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury, but he was one lap away from scoring the overall in High Point. The traders at Alt Sports Data, the official linemaker for the SuperMotocross Championship, are apparently getting slightly more worried that Aaron Plessinger (+1322) is preparing to break through. His +1900 odds for High Point were 578 points higher than he shows on the opening form for Southwick in no small part because of the laps he led in Moto 1 when Jett stalled his bike. Justin Cooper (+3434) remains virtually unchanged since he dropped from +4445 at Thunder Valley to +3233 at High Point. He remains a high-risk, high-reward proposition who could factor into some betting strategies. Last week, Cooper swept the top five in the two motos and kept his streak of overall top-fives alive. One intriguing head-to-head matchup this week is between Jorge Prado (+14186 in overall odds) versus Jason Anderson (+12246). While Anderson is favored in overall odds by nearly 2/1, Prado holds the advantage in the matchup with odds of -128 to Anderson's -104. Neither rider is strong enough to warrant an overall win bet, but with podium odds of +805 for Prado, he could be worthy of some loose change. Opening Odds, Outright Overall Win Jett Lawrence, -380 Eli Tomac, +242 Hunter Lawrence, +841 Aaron Plessinger, +1322 Justin Cooper, +3434 Cooper Webb, +8233 Jason Anderson, +12246 Jorge Prado, +14186 Joey Savatgy, +14186 Malcolm Stewart, +14186 Colt Nichols, +14186 RJ Hampshire, +14186 Bryson Gardner, +14186 Harri Kullas, +14186 Derek Drake, +14186 Derek Kelley, +14186 Romain Pape, +14186 Benny Bloss, +14186 Bryce Shelly, +14186 Opening Odds, Overall Podium Jett Lawrence, -1900 Eli Tomac, -300 Aaron Plessinger, -110 Hunter Lawrence, 105 Justin Cooper, 108 Jason Anderson, 155 Cooper Webb, 227 RJ Hampshire, 713 Joey Savatgy, 764 Jorge Prado, 805 Malcolm Stewart, 1154 Harri Kullas, 4186 Benny Bloss, 4186 Derek Drake, 4186 Romain Pape, 4186 Colt Nichols, 4186 Derek Kelley, 4186 Brandon Ray, 4186 Bryce Shelly, 4186 Bryson Gardner, 4186 More SuperMotocross News Chad Reed among 2025 AMA HoF inductees Chance Hymas out for remainder of 2025 High Point 450 Results | 250 Results Jett Lawrence wins High Point overall; Eli Tomac takes Moto 2 Haiden Deegan shrugs off last week, sweeps High Point Jett Lawrence stalls in High Point Moto 1, recovers, wins Haiden Deegan wins High Point 250 Moto 1, restarts streak High Point 450 Qualification | 250 Qualification Cameron McAdoo update Reid Taylor to make debut at High Point
