Bayne On Win Year

Autoracing Betting Lines

Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Series: NASCAR Sprint Cup. Date: Saturday, July 2. Race: Coke Zero 400. Site: Daytona International Speedway. Track: 2.5-mile tri-oval. Start time: 7:30 p.m. (et). Laps: 160. Miles: 400. 2010 Winner: Kevin Harvick. Television: TNT. Radio: Motor Racing Network (MRN) /SIRIUS NASCAR Radio. It's definitely hot and humid in Central Florida when the Sprint Cup Series returns to Daytona International Speedway for its annual "mid-summer classic."

 

Busch is now hoping to pick up his first win in a points-paying race on a restrictor plate track (Daytona and Talladega).

 

Busch won the Budweiser Shootout and first Gatorade Duel qualifying race before finishing fifth in this year's Daytona 500. He finished second in the 2003, '05 and '08 Daytona 500s.

 

One day after turning 20 years old, Bayne became the youngest driver ever to win the Daytona 500. He inherited the lead when NASCAR penalized then-leader David Ragan for changing his lane position just before the restart in the first of two green-white-checkered attempts. Bayne then held off Carl Edwards during the final two-lap overtime finish to win his first race in just his second series start.

 

Several records were broken in the February 20 Daytona 500, thanks in part to the newly-paved surface at the 2.5-mile superspeedway. The race featured a record 74 lead changes among 22 different leaders.

 

The two-car breakaways also played a huge role in this year's Daytona 500, as well as the Budweiser Shootout and Gatorade qualifying events. Two-car tandems will no doubt be a factor again this weekend.

 

Harvick won the 400-mile race at Daytona one year ago. He is also the 2007 Daytona 500 champion.

 

The two-car drafts made for a thriller at Talladega in April. In a race that featured 88 lead changes among 26 drivers, Earnhardt Jr. partnered with his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Jimmie Johnson, during the final laps and pushed Johnson to victory in what was an incredible finish.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS

NFL Sports Betting

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.

Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.

Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.

The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.

Chiefs' Treen Green out for Sunday's game

How long Trent Green will remain sidelined is unknown. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday he will miss a second straight start Sunday when the Chiefs host the San Francisco 49ers.

A two-time Pro Bowler, Green was going into a feet-first hook slide when he was knocked unconscious by a thunderous, head-snapping hit from Cincinnati's Robert Geathers.

Oddsmakers at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com currently have the Chiefs listed as 7-point favorites versus the 49ers.

The 49ers got beat by Philadelphia 38-24 as a 6.5-point underdog last week. The combined score went OVER the posted over/under total (42.5).

Alex Smith completed 27-of-46 passes for 293 yards with a touchdown. Michael Robinson rushed for 29 yards and a pair of touchdowns on five carries.

The Chiefs lost 9-6 to Denver last week as an 11-point underdog. The combined score was well UNDER the posted over/under total (38).

Larry Johnson rushed for 126 yards on 27 carries. Damon Huard completed 17-of-23 passes for 133 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions.
