With that said, Marc Marquez is the favorite to win the 2025 Moto Grand Prix of the Americas.
Will he be able to come out on top? Not only is Marquez the top favorite to win the race this week, but he's also the top contender to win the overall title this season. Whenever he participates in an event, there's no question that Marquez is a threat to win it all. In the coming days, he's going to be ready to make a statement by potentially taking down the rest of the field. Will he be able to pull things off?
| Moto GP of Americas odds |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marc Marquez to win | -850 | -850 | -850 |
| Alex Marquez to win | +850 | +850 | +850 |
| Pecco Bagnaia to win | +1250 | +1250 | +1250 |
| Ai Ogura to win | +1500 | +1500 | +1500 |
"I was consistent with the bike," Marquez said after a recent win. "I saw there was an advantage and tried to maintain it. It's fantastic to start the journey with Ducati this way, but the most important thing is the long race, and I hope to be on the podium at the very least."
According to the best sports betting sites, Marquez holds -850 Moto GP betting odds to win the 2025 Grand Prix of Americas. It's not going to be easy for him, as there are plenty of other riders who will be hoping to take him down. While we think that things could be close in the end, we also think it's going to be tough for anyone to stop Marquez. We're going with him as our pick.

Alex Marquez is also hoping to make a splash at the Grand Prix of the Americas
As things stand, yes, Marquez is the big-time favorite to come out on top, but keep in mind that Alex Marquez is also hoping to make a splash at the Grand Prix of the Americas. Alex Marquez is the younger brother (three years) or Marc Marquez. Both brothers are tremendous drivers and the fun rivalry that they have only makes races even more entertaining.
We don't have to tell you that Marc Marquez is higher up in the standings, but the fact of the matter here too is that Alex Marquez also has what it takes to turn a lot of heads over in Austin this weekend. Alex Marquez appreciates being able to perform so well with his brother by his side. This is something Marc Marquez doesn't take for granted either.

"We started this new journey in the perfect way, with pole position and a double victory, sprint and main race," Marc Marquez said after winning the Thai MotoGP. "I want to say thanks to the team. And to share this weekend with my brother is something unreal for our family. There are no words to describe how you feel when you are on the podium with your brother."
Per the Las Vegas oddsmakers, Alex Marquez has been given +850 odds to win the 2025 Grand Prix of the Americas. This just goes to show how big of a favorite Marc Marquez is with him being placed at -850. Despite that, something tells us that Alex Marquez is going to impress a lot of people and push for a Top 2 finish. We're sticking with Marc as our winner, but Alex will be fun to watch as well.
There are other top-level riders ready to impress at the Grand Prix of the Americas
While a ton of attention is going to the Marquez brothers, keep in mind that there are other top-level riders ready to impress at the Grand Prix of the Americas. The list includes Francisco 'Pecco' Bagnaia who is off to a bit of a slow start this campaign. In addition, there's going to be a lot of focus on Franco Morbidelli, Ai Ogura and others this weekend.
Looking to get in on the betting action too? Now is a good reminder that the top outlets, including BetOnline, Bovada and more, offer up special types of sportsbooks bonuses leading up to big events - which includes the Grand Prix of the Americas. The BetOnline promo codes and promotions would be perfect to take advantage of with the race arriving on Sunday.
As for the action on the raceway, we can't wait to find out how things go. Bagnaia wants to get started hot and not slow down at all for the duration of things. He could have a strong performance, but we're tripling down on Marc Marquez as our winner. He's going to have the fans in Austin off of their seats from start to finish.
