Sunday's Cup Series Race in Phoenix Fills Out The Championship Field

The one thing that NASCAR fans and bettors know for sure is that past champions Martin Truex Jr. and Kevin Harvick will have a chance to add another racing title to their overall Cup Series resume. Each of these drivers won a race in the final elimination round of this season's 10-race playoff. The other six contenders for next Sunday's championship race at Homestead-Miami Speedway are still trying to lock up an automatic berth in he final four-driver field with a win this Sunday in Phoenix.

Kyle Busch comes into the second-to-last playoff race as a +310 favorite to win and I see quite a bit of value in that number. He has not won a point race since early June but he also remains the type of driver that has a good chance to win anytime he is behind the wheel of the No. 18 Toyota.

Along with Busch, I have found two other drivers that offer quite a bit of value in their odds to win as posted by 5Dimes online sportsbook. Each week of the NASCAR Cup Series schedule I cover the races for the popular sports betting site Sports Betting Stats with my top-valued betting picks. The link below is to my three value picks for Sunday's Bluegreen Vacation 500 at ISM Raceway in Phoenix.

Betting The Underdog in a Huge SEC Showdown

Throughout the college football season there are some major showdowns on the slate. Games that will not only have a big impact on a conference title race, but on the quest to win a national championship. The 'best of the best' in college football showdowns highlight this Saturday's betting board with the No. 2 LSU Tigers squaring off against the No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa.

Alabama is listed as a six-point home favorite for the 3:30 p.m. start on CBS. The total line is set at 62.5 points. The current betting consensus is leaning towards LSU at 60 percent and I would have to agree. I am going with the Tigers this week as my top underdog pick of the week for the popular sports betting site Scores & Stats. The link below to this site contains my full betting preview for this high profile SEC West battle.

Going Chalk With Kyle Busch as Martinsville Favorite

Things are heating up in the NASCAR Cup Series' race to the season title with eight drivers gunning for the championship with four events left on the slate. In the first of three races leading up to the season-ending championship race at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 17, Kyle Busch has been set as a +275 favorite at America's Bookie online sportsbook for this Sunday's race at Martinsville Speedway.

Busch has been one of the most dominant Cup Series drivers this season with four point-race wins and a first-place standing in the current Cup Series point totals. As good as the No. 18 Toyota has been, the team is still looking for its first postseason victory of the year heading into the seventh event in this year's 10-race playoff. Martinsville ranks as one of his better tracks in recent years to add even more value to Busch's betting odds to win.

NFL Dogs Ready to Bite the Books: Eagles at Cowboys

Even though both division leaders are tied at 3-3 and coming off a bad loss, Sunday night's NFC East clash between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys is one of the most heavily bet games in Week 7 of the NFL season. The early betting consensus for this game favors Philadelphia at 58% to drive the spread down to 2.5 points for the Eagles as road underdogs. The total line for Sunday night's slated 8:20 p.m. start on NBC is set at 49 points with the betting public leaning towards the UNDER at 61%.

The Cowboys swept last year's two-game series to improve to 6-3 straight-up in the last nine matchups. However, Philly has a 6-3 SU edge in its last nine road games against its bitter rival. The total has gone OVER in four of each of these teams first six games this year.

Injuries could be the big storyline for Sunday night with two of each team's biggest playmakers listed as questionable. Wide receiver DeSean Jackson has missed his last few starts with lingering groin injury and the Cowboys' top pass catcher Amari Cooper is hampered by a bad quad. The Eagles' secondary is also thin due to injury and Dallas has a few more key players listed as questionable for this huge division showdown.

While these teams do matchup very well with one another and there is very little love lost between the two, my lean is towards the dog biting the book in this one. As part of a regular weekly series for the popular sports betting site, Scores & Stats, the link below if to my complete betting preview for this game.
