NASCAR's Monster Energy Cup Series wraps up its early season West Coast swing with a stop in Fontana, California for the running of the Auto Club 400. All the action from Auto Club Speedway is set to get underway this Sunday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. (ET) and the race will be broadcast nationally on FOX.
Defending Cup Series Champion Jimmie Johnson has struggled his way to just one Top 10 finish through the first four point-race events on the 2017 schedule, but he is in excellent position to quickly turn things around with a win this week. He also comes in as the defending champion of this race as part of his six career victories at this track in a Cup Series event. His current odds to win at BetAnySports are set at +650 and with an average finishing position of 6.5 at Fontana there is quite a bit of value in that number.

NHL Saturday Best Bet- Florida at Tampa Bay
Saturday night's NHL slate is highlighted by an in-state battle between the Florida Panthers and the Tampa Bay Lightning. Both teams are on the outside looking in as far as the Eastern Conference Playoffs, but they each remain within striking distance of one final wild card spot that is up for grabs.
The Panthers have the early 2-1 edge in the season series against their Atlantic Division rivals including a 2-1 victory as -119 home favorites the last time these two met on Jan. 26. However, look for Tampa Bay to be favored in this one on BetAnySports NHL betting board after putting together a 6-2-2 run in its last 10 games as opposed to Florida's shaky 3-6-1 mark in the same span that includes losses in its last four outings. The home team in this matchup has won six of the last seven meetings.

Betting on NFL Quarterback Props
The big topic of discussion in the NFL right now has to do with the fate of a number of different quarterbacks in the league as far as which team will they be playing for on opening day of the 2017 regular season. There are a few seasoned veterans in the mix such as the Dallas Cowboys' Tony Romo and Chicago's Jay Cutler. Also in play is Tom Brady's backup in New England, Jimmy Garoppolo.
BetAnySports has recently released some prop bet odds pinpointing which NFL teams have the best chance of acquiring each of these signal caller's services. All three just so happen to still be under contract with their current team, but the speculation is running high that their value as trade bait makes it highly likely that they will be wearing a different team's helmet in the not-to distant future.
In one of this week's betting pieces for ScoresandStats.com I weighed in on the situation with my thoughts on where I have each of these players going next season in terms of the best value on the current betting board. Please check the link below for my "best bet" picks for these NFL player props.

NBA All-Star Weekend Top Prop Picks
In an article I wrote for ScoresandStats.com this past week, I covered the prop bet odds for this Saturday night's NBA Slam Dunk Contest as well as the Three-Point Contest. Along with Sunday night's All-Star Game, these two competitions are easily the most popular betting events of the whole weekend's festivities.
While the Slam Dunk Contest is limited to just four players it should be one of the best in years with two-time runner-up Aaron Gordon coming in as the clear favorite against rookie Derrick Jones Jr and Los Angeles Clippers' big man DeAndre Jordan. The field for the Three-Point Contest is loaded with eight of the best long-range bombers in the league. Golden State's Klay Thompson is the favorite to win this competition according to the betting odds at BetAnySports, but look for the likes of Cleveland's Kyrie Irving and Toronto's Kyle Lowry to keep things interesting until the final three-point shot of the night.
For the inside scoop as well as my free pick for both of these NBA All-Star props, please check out the link below at ScoresandStats.com.

This Season's Top NCAA Basketball Betting Teams
The men’s college basketball season heads into the second full weekend of February and the team at the top of the list in both national polls is the West Coast Conference’s Gonzaga Bulldogs. With Thursday’s 90-60 romp over Loyola Marymount as heavy 17-point road favorites, the Bulldogs have now extended their straight-up winning streak to 25 games as the only undefeated team in the country. They might be tested this Sunday in a road game against No. 20 St. Mary’s, but the Bulldogs already beat the Gaels by 23 points as five-point home favorites on Jan. 12.
What makes this incredible run all the more impressive is the fact that when you look at Covers.com's current college basketball statistics for closing betting lines, Gonzaga is also at the top of that list with a 17-4-1 record this season against the spread. Heading into Sunday’s WCC showdown against St. Mary’s, the Bulldogs have gone 10-2-1 ATS in conference play.
Another top-ranked team in the national polls that also ranks high on the list at Covers is the ACC’s No. 4 Louisville Cardinals boasting a 15-6-1 record ATS to go along with a SU record of 19-5. Louisville will be looking to bounce back from a lopsided 71-55 loss to Virginia as a 6.5-point road underdog after covering ATS in its previous six games. The Cardinals return to action this Saturday at home against Miami.
The Big East’s Creighton Bluejays are sitting at No. 23 in both national polls with a SU 20-4 record in their first 24 games and they are also one of the top betting teams in the nation at 15-7 ATS. Bettors need to be a bit leery of going with the Bluejays in upcoming road games against DePaul this Saturday and Seton Hall next week after they failed to cover in three of their last five outings.
If you are looking for a pair of hot betting teams heading into this weekend’s games, then you might want to take a closer look at the ACC’s Syracuse Orange and the SEC’s Florida Gators. Both teams are riding five-game winning streaks ATS into this Saturday’s contests. Both teams have also been solid bets on the closing total line lately. The total has gone OVER in Syracuse's last seven outings and it has stayed UNDER in five of the No. 17 Gators’ last seven games.
