1. Neglect about what occurred final week. The Atlanta Supercross spherical is an anomaly. It was held in daylight, in heat climate, and at a superspeedway. None of these would be the case in East Rutherford. You’ll want to verify our 2023 Supercross Tv schedule so that you don’t miss a gate drop in New Jersey.

2. Climate might be an element at MetLife Stadium. As of this writing on Tuesday, there’s a few 50 p.c likelihood of rain beginning at 8 p.m. and persevering with via the remainder of the racing. The cream normally rises to the highest in Supercross whatever the climate, so it received’t affect my picks, although it might change yours when you’ve got a favourite wet-track specialist or two. 

3. The times of simply selecting the rostrum are over. It was a matter of selecting Sexton, Tomac, and Webb within the appropriate order. Nevertheless, Justin Barcia has established himself as a podium common, with three podiums in a row, and 4 podiums within the final 5 races. Past that, Barcia has six consecutive top-five finishes.  

4. There are two selections for the East Rutherford winner—Chase Sexton and Eli Tomac. Sexton is on a 5-2-1 run, so he has critical momentum flowing in his route. Tomac is 1-1-5 within the final three rounds. Throw out the Atlanta daytime race, and it’s clear. Go together with Tomac to win and Sexton to observe him when the checkers fly.  

5. The ultimate spot on the rostrum is between two riders—Justin Barcia and Cooper Webb. Webb has been off the rostrum two races in a row, and Barcia has three podiums in a row. Barcia tends to catch fireplace, and proper now, he’s a scorching podium decide. With Webb struggling and the stress mounting, Webb has been off the rostrum on the final two races, although take into account that one was a Triple Crown and the opposite a daytime superspeedway race. With 9 podiums in 13 rounds, it’s arduous to not put Webb on the rostrum. Nevertheless, Barcia has the momentum, and Webb doesn’t. So, Barcia in P3 and Webb in P4.  

6. Ken Roczen looks like a powerful decide for the ultimate top-five place. Roczen is on a 5-6-5-3 run, and has 9 top-five finishes in 2023. The one different rider shut is Jason Anderson, with eight top-five rides. Nevertheless, new-dad Anderson got here into Atlanta unprepared and pulled off the observe within the Principal after successful his Warmth—not a very good look. Anderson has work to do. He’s on a disastrous 9-4-10-21 run, so he must reverse that earlier than being thought of a good top-five decide.  

7. The Wild Card is P14, so it’s a problem. As all the time, the decrease you go within the order, the trickier it will get to choose a Wild Card. There are many selections to go round. My favourite is Benny Bloss, as he has gone 15-14-13 within the final three races. Additionally price contemplating, so as, are Fredrik Norén (14-16-15), Kyle Chisholm (18-11-14), Shane McElrath (16-13-12), Josh Hill (12-15-11), and Grant Harlan (13-17-17). Amazingly, I picked a Wild Card proper final week for the primary time in 2023. Thanks, Colt Nichols!  

8. Final week would have been horrible for me if I hadn’t hit the Wild Card. It was a troublesome week for everybody enjoying RMFantasySX.com. The highest rating was 107 factors out of a attainable 133. My meager displaying was nonetheless sufficient to place me comfortably within the prime 30-percent of gamers.
