By Andrew Hatfield
OUTLAW DAYS: PBR Teams: Outlaw Days is the eighth of 12 regular-season events for the third PBR Camping World Team Series season. Competition will begin at 7:45 p.m. CDT on Friday, September 6, and Saturday, September 7, and conclude Sunday, September 8 at 1:45 p.m. CDT.
CBS GAME OF THE WEEK SPOTLIGHT: This weekend, on Sunday, September 8, at 3 p.m. EDT, CBS Television Network will broadcast all the action from the Game of the Week between the No. 4 Austin Gamblers (8-8) and the No. 2 Kansas City Outlaws (11-5). The hometown Outlaws are on fire, having won seven of their last eight games. Entering PBR Teams: Outlaw Days, Kansas City is the only team with three riders in the Top 10 of the MVP standings, as No. 3 Sandro Batista, No. 4 Cassio Dias and No. 10 Koltin Hevalow have all gotten off to an incredible start. Batista got to the No. 3 spot by being the hottest leadoff rider in the league, covering his last five bulls, and he is now 11-for-17 (64.7%).
However, all three Outlaws are chasing one Gambler: back-to-back PBR Teams MVP Jose Vitor Leme, who is, once again, No. 1 in the MVP Standings, going 13-for-19 (68.4%) so far in 2024. The two-time PBR World Champion briefly lost the No. 1 spot to the Florida Freedom’s John Crimber in Springfield, Missouri, last weekend before immediately retaking the crown in the very next out. So far this season, the Outlaws have beaten the Gamblers in both previous matchups, edging them out in the season-opener, 178.25–174, in Oklahoma City before beating them in Nashville in August, 337.75-0.
