Other favorites include Shane van Gisbergen at +330, Christopher Bell at +700, and Tyler Reddick and William Byron, also at +800 in the latest 2025 NASCAR Viva Mexico 250 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City odds from DrafKings Sportsbook.

2025 NASCAR Viva Mexico 250 expert picks
For the 2025 Viva Mexico 250 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City, Taranto is high on Shane van Gisbergen. The New Zealander is a road course expert. At the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, on March 2, van Gisbergen led 23 laps before finishing sixth overall.
His lone Cup Series victory came in his NASCAR Cup Series debut at the 2023 Grant Park 220 in Chicago. Van Gisbergen has run 18 races over three years in the Cup Series, earning five top-10 finishes and one pole position. He is a three-time Supercars Championship winner, winning titles in 2016, 2021 and 2022. He has 81 wins and 176 podiums in 508 races in that series. See which other drivers he’s backing at SportsLine.
Top NASCAR props for Mexico City
Head-to-head: Taranto sees Michael McDowell (-140) finishing ahead of Alex Bowman (+105). Although Bowman has seven top-10 finishes this season compared to just one for McDowell, Bowman is coming off a hard crash last week in Michigan and Xfinity Series driver Anthony Alfredo is on standby in case Bowman can’t go this week. McDowell is a solid road racer, having placed 11th at the Circuit of the Americas in March and fifth last year in Chicago. The 40-year-old has two wins in his 18-year career with 45 top-10 finishes.
Bowman, meanwhile, won last year’s Grant Park 165 in Chicago and was ninth at the 2025 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix. He finished fifth at the 2025 Advent Health 400 last month. He was second at the Straight Talk Wireless 400 in March. In his 11-year career, the 32-year-old has registered eight wins and 103 top-10 finishes in 336 races. See all of Taranto’s picks at SportsLine.

Bill Belichick’s UNC misses bowl eligibility after trick play by Duke
When Bill Belichick was introduced as UNC head coach 11 long months ago, he revealed, joked or lied that his first words as a child were "Beat Duke."His program fell short of that goal on Saturday, and the result is a disappointing season will officially end next weekend. The Tar Heels lost to Duke 32-25, pushing their record down to 4-7 and leaving them unable to reach bowl eligibility next week against NC State.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt wasn't just any loss to their biggest rivals either. At home, UNC had come back from down 24-10 to take a 25-24 lead early in the fourth quarter. That remained the score until the final three minutes, when the Blue Devils lined up for a go-ahead field goal that would have given the Tar Heels the ball back with more than two minutes left and a […]
Washington Spirit vs. Gotham FC, NWSL Championship: Trinity Rodman’s status hangs over title match
Two star-studded teams in the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC will meet in San Jose for the NWSL Championship, a competitive match likely in store as each side chases their second league title, but the big question looms -- will Trinity Rodman play?The pair took contrasting roads to the NWSL Championship, the No. 2 seed Spirit advancing as the favorites in their matchups while Gotham played spoiler as the No. 8 seed, eliminating the runaway NWSL Shield winners in the Kansas City Current and last year's champions Orlando Pride. To describe this as a David vs. Goliath-type game would be a misnomer, though, Gotham have been inconsistent, but they won the Championship just two years ago and boast an MVP nominee in Esther Gonzalez.While Gonzalez and new Gotham recruict Jaedyn Shaw headline Juan Carlos Amoros' team, the attention will also […]
Bills RB Ty Johnson fined $10,777 for pelvic-thrust TD celebration in win over Bucs
The NFL has fined Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson $10,777 for "obscene gestures" as part of a crackdown on unsportsmanlike conduct. Johnson did a thrust-heavy celebration after scoring a go-ahead touchdown in the Bills' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.With less than a minute left in the first half, Johnson broke away on third-and-5 to sprint 52 yards for the touchdown. To celebrate, Johnson grabbed his leg, seemingly pretending to have sustained an injury (à la the Kansas City Current's Lo'eau LaBonta), and fell before grinding his pelvis against the ground twice.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBuffalo went on to win the game, 44-32, behind a six-touchdown night from quarterback Josh Allen.The fine comes a couple of weeks after Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was fined $14,491 for a similar celebration. Dowdle did "two pumps" (i.e., thrusted his pelvis twice) […]
Kyle Shanahan says Brandon Aiyuk’s guarantees were voided in July: ‘It takes a lot to get a contract voided’
The news that Brandon Aiyuk has likely played his last game for the San Francisco 49ers was a surprise on Friday, but the situation has apparently been simmering for months.Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan declined to say what specifically led to a falling out between team and player — there was a report of frustrations over Aiyuk failing to participate in team meetings and other activities — while claiming the contract battle was out of his hands:"I'm not going to get into the specifics of that. There were a number of things from July that, to me, is more of the business side, dealing with lawyers and stuff, and contracts. Stuff that is really not my area of expertise."Aiyuk has spent all season on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury, which […]
