CDL 2025 Major 1 Qualifiers betting tips – Friday, December 6

The 2025 Call of Duty League season kicks off on Friday, December 6, with the opening round of CDL 2025 Major 1 Qualifiers Week 1. Check out our Call of Duty betting picks for the first four fixtures, with esports odds courtesy of the top bookmakers in United States.

Minnesota RØKKR built a new CoD roster at the start of November, featuring a fairly young lineup of players with a very high ceiling. But the lack of leadership could be a massive problem, especially if RØKKR do not start strong.

Los Angeles Guerrillas blew up their 2024 lineup and rebuilt with former New York Subliners trio Preston “Priestahh” Greiner, Cesar “Skyz” Buen, and Matthew “KiSMET” Tinsley, who will link up with Thomas “Lynz” Gregorio from Minnesota. Essentially fielding the Modern Warfare II championship roster, the Guerrillas look strong on paper; individually, however, the four players did not look great last season.

The quality is still there, which explains why LAG are priced as favourites with the best Call of Duty betting sites. However, it is hard to look past Minnesota RØKKR’s upside, which is a good enough reason to take their side at outsider odds.

After winning the Call of Duty League Championship 2024, OpTic Texas kept their roster intact. OpTic were by far the best Hardpoint team in the league with a 70.11% win rate, while they also posted a positive win rates on Control (58%) and did slightly worse on Search & Destroy (47.83%).

Boston Breach made some roster changes at the end of the 2024 season and performed well at the Esports World Cup 2024, with a fifth-eighth finish. This is a well-rounded lineup, although there are some concerns with Eric “Snoopy” Pérez, who did not have the best year and enters the 2025 season with a chip on his shoulder.

Boston Breach could be better than they seem, but that does not make them a good pick against OpTic Texas’ proven lineup.

Vegas Falcons enter the 2025 season with a strange roster situation, having registered nine players. However, we will likely see the same lineup that represented Team Falcons at Esports World Cup 2024, finishing in last place.

While the Saudi team showed good things on Search & Destroy, respawns will be a major problem for the Call of Duty Challengers roster.

Carolina Royal Ravens are priced as massive favourites for this match, mainly due to the Falcons’ questionable quality. But like the Vegas Falcons, Royal Ravens lack firepower, which will likely lead to a much closer match than what the betting odds suggest.

Despite the painful ending to the 2024 CDL season, Atlanta FaZe decided to run it back with the same lineup, which won the Esports World Cup in August. While this roster does not lack quality, FaZe have became know to choke in important matches, but that is a problem for later.

Toronto Ultra signed two new players in October, Ben “Beans” McMellon and Joseph “JoeDeceives” Romero, creating a scary roster which should easily secure a winner’s bracket spot for the first Major.

While not as proven as that of Atlanta FaZe, you have to have a good reason to take the underdogs at this price at the start of a new season. A smaller position on Toronto Ultra to upset is worth a look.
