Chris Cooksey and I [Dan Lamb] started posting Las Vegas Sports Book style money line odds for our projected top ten power rankings for the 450SX class title during the pre-season and since the article was something we thought readers had fun with, we thought we would keep it going throughout the 2018 Monster Energy Supercross season. That’s despite being called complete idiots by more than one reader.
Each and every week, Chris and I will list our top ten power ranking and list what we think the odds are for each rider in our top ten to win the title based on their health, points and races left to run in the season. With all those factors, the “Power Ranking” will not always be in order of odds to win title. As riders in our top ten get eliminated from any chance at the tile, you will see the money line on the eliminated rider replaced with “No Line”.
