Best Bets and Picks for the 2023 PBR Teams Championship

For the upcoming PBR Camping World Team Series Championship showdown, we evaluate both recent event outcomes and overall season performance to establish the betting odds.

Top Picks and Bets

The Austin Gamblers, led by the recently crowned PBR Team Series MVP Jose Vitor Leme, have maintained a firm grip atop the standings, boasting a stellar 19-9 regular season record and a commendable overall ride percentage of 35.7%. Though their recent stumbles in the Rattler Days and Ridge Rider Days events turned some heads, they have been truly excellent for the majority of the season and remain the team to beat heading into Las Vegas. The Gamblers' odds reflect this season-long prowess, and as the preeminent leaders, they enter the championship as the favorites. Bettors eyeing a relatively safer choice should look their way.

Hot on the heels of the Gamblers are the Kansas City Outlaws, who have been making waves under the exceptional leadership of MVP runner-up Cassio Dias. Their dominant late-season surge, marked by an impressive 8-1 run in the last three events, signifies their championship potential. Holding an 18-10 overall record, they were mere inches, just one game, from overtaking the Gamblers during the regular season. Boasting a league-best ride percentage of 42.9%, they've showcased their mettle and readiness to dethrone the Gamblers. These odds indicate a strong possibility of an upset, and for bettors looking for a blend of safety with slightly higher returns, the Outlaws present an enticing bet.

To round off the favorites, riding the momentum from their spectacular victory at Rattler Days, the Texas Rattlers are the dark horses for this season’s Championship. Their overall ride percentage sits at 40%, second only to the Outlaws, indicating their consistency in the chutes. Their recent form, the sheer energy from the home win and the undoubted talent within their ranks make them a compelling pick for those seeking higher returns.

While the Austin Gamblers lead the pack in terms of favorable odds and season-long dominance, both the Kansas City Outlaws and Texas Rattlers have displayed the skill to pull off potential upsets. As we approach the PBR Teams Championship, the betting landscape is as electrifying as the event itself, promising a mix of safety, risk and potential rewards.

Outsider Picks

If the drama of the 2023 MLB Playoffs is any indication, in the world of competitive sports, even the mightiest teams aren't impervious to upsets. As we delve into the outsider picks for the 2023 PBR Camping World Team Series Championship, here's a look at the teams that could potentially offer an unexpected twist in the tale.

Although ranked No. 6 in the standings, the Carolina Cowboys have shown glimpses of brilliance this season. While their overall performance may not mirror the top contenders, their resilience and determination stand out. Their recent duels have highlighted their ability to hold their own against formidable opponents and they’ve certainly had their moments earlier in the season, like in Austin, Texas, and Kansas City, Missouri, where they finished second and third, respectively. Such performances remind bettors of the latent potential the Cowboys possess, making them an intriguing bet for those looking for a sizable return.

The Oklahoma Freedom, sitting at an even 14-14, has had its share of ups and downs this season. Yet, their recent form suggests a team that is finding its rhythm at the right time. Their surprise second-place finish at Ridge Rider Days vividly demonstrated their capacity to defy expectations. At odds of +800, they present a tempting proposition for bettors with a penchant for the unpredictable.

Last but certainly not least, the Arizona Ridge Riders, often under the radar, have consistently demonstrated their knack for seizing the moment. Recent showings hint at a team that's been honing its strategies and skills and their standout mid-season performance in Oklahoma City, where they stole the show with a 3-0 sweep, serves as a testament to their mettle and ability to rise to the occasion. For those looking for a wild card with the capacity to deliver shocks, the Ridge Riders might be the pick.

Head-to-Head Matchups

Expert Pick

The Kansas City Outlaws present an ideal blend of value and potential and seem to be hitting their peak at the perfect time. Their recent performances, especially the perfect 3-0 finishes at Rattler Days and Ridge Rider Days, speak volumes about their form entering the league’s final weekend of competition. Their hunger and momentum could propel them to outperform even the favorites. Combining their form, talent depth and relatively attractive odds, the Outlaws offer both value and a strong likelihood of success.
