Best Bets and Picks for the PBR North Carolina

For the upcoming PBR North Carolina event, our assessment takes into consideration both recent event performances and the broader season statistics to determine the odds.

Top Picks and Bets for PBR North Carolina

Despite the Austin Gamblers' recent stumble at PBR Missouri Thunder Days, where they were narrowly outperformed by the Arizona Ridge Riders, they remain at the pinnacle of the current standings. Their 14-5-0 record and a commendable ride percentage of 37.9% testify to their consistency this season. Thus, their +375 odds for the North Carolina event reflect the broader belief in their capabilities.

The Texas Rattlers, riding the momentum from their standout performance in Missouri, present an interesting proposition. Two impressive victories, highlighted by Daniel Keeping's 90.5-point ride, showcase their potential to challenge the best. Although trailing the Gamblers in the standings with a 10-9-0 record, they boast a slightly superior ride percentage of 38.9%. With +450 odds, a bet on the Rattlers could offer a favorable return given their recent form.

Lastly, the Carolina Cowboys, though having faced a setback against the Oklahoma Freedom in Missouri, could be dark horses. Their current standing at fifth position with a 9-10-0 record might be deceptive, especially considering the home advantage they might enjoy in North Carolina.

Outsider Picks for PBR North Carolina

PBR North Carolina's landscape has put the spotlight on three outsider teams that warrant attention: the Arizona Ridge Riders, Kansas City Outlaws and Nashville Stampede.

The Arizona Ridge Riders have been turning heads recently. Their triumph at the PBR Missouri Thunder Days event against top-tier opponents, especially the Austin Gamblers, was no small feat. Joaquim Barbosa, with his outstanding 89.75-point ride and two rides over 89 points during the weekend, epitomizes the team's current surge. This winning streak makes them a compelling choice among outsiders.

The Kansas City Outlaws showcased their tenacity in Missouri by pulling off a win against the hometown Missouri Thunder, with Kyler Oliver stealing the show. Oliver, having two rides surpassing 88 points over the weekend, is a talent to watch out for in North Carolina. The team's resilience, combined with Oliver's individual brilliance, gives them a genuine shot at causing a few upsets.

Finally, the Nashville Stampede, while they had their challenges in Missouri, still hold potential. Their track record in tight competitions could be the wildcard that aids them in springing a surprise or two.
