Barcia or Tomac?
Think I will put Eli down as favourite...just.
Barcia was disappointing last year but is riding a lot smarter now (mostly)
Dean is injured, Baggett off form, Roczen doesn't know the tracks and Musquin is not quite back to his 2009/2010 confidence yet...but getting closer.
All these guys could win the title though...it will be epic!

Tomac is going to kill it. Outdoors is his stomping gounds and he's on a high right now.
I think the favorite going in is Wilson obviously (defending champ) followed by Baggett, Roczen, and Tomac in no particular order.
Second will be a great battle between Wilson, Musquin, Tomac, Bagget, Hahn, Bogle, Anderson, Seely, and about 3 or 4 others on any given day.
Barcia should be put on a 450. He would do much better I.M.H.O.
The PC riders are too big of a question mark to get my vote right now. Wil Hahn might surprise but if he was consistently top 5 it would be just that, a surprise.
Roczen seems to be battling arm pump or fitness issues and who knows which Blake Baggett will show up. Hopefully its a competitive outdoors unlike the East coast SX....
I personally think K-Roc will get the starts, but damn you cant argue with Baggets form last season, how he would drop the hammer mid-moto was amazing.
If Bagget held that form every race there is NO ONE in the world who can beat him IMO.
Roczen is Barcias Biatch.... he aint winning shit

An indoor 250 SX title is not even comparable to going after an outdoor 250 MX title. While Barcia and Eli look great this year so far, it's not any indication of what they will do in a couple of weeks at Hangtown. As Barcia, although even more solid looking this year indoors, won the 250 SX title last year, and look how his 250 outdoors went!
I'll pick Baggett even though my instinct says not to. What is it he lacks? Focus... mental toughness? He's a bad dude when he's on so I hope he get's it together.
Roczen's fresh blood so you can't count him out as an upset but at the same time "craziness" usually follows the rookies! As it did Marvin can last year.
Can't wait no matter.... BRING ONNNNNNNNNNN the Outdoors!
Besides those 3 powerhouse teams you have Rockstar Suzuki and I would put allot of money on Jason Anderson. That kid is better outdoors than indoors. And because he rides so good indoors the question is how much better will he be outdoors?
Then you also have some great individuals like Leib. If he gets a good bike under his ass, he can fight with the big guns! He needs a good bike because on allot of the US National tracks you need your horsepower. A privateer bike wouldn't do the job on all these tracks.
but i really could care less who wins, i just hope i see knock down drag out races throughout the entire season
barcia, tomac, bagget, maybe bogle (mainly bc he's a rookie), roczen, musquin, anderson, sipes, stewart, davolos, wharton, wilson, and many more could all win at least one moto this summer
My cash is on Baggett, but then again anything can happen. If i had of predicted the SX results at the start everyone would of called me mad !
