Autoracing Betting Lines

08/14/2010 - Brooklyn, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brad Keselowski will start on the pole for Saturday's CARFAX 250 Nationwide Series race after topping the charts in qualifying at Michigan International Speedway.

Keselowski, from nearby Rochester Hills, MI, turned a lap of 179.556 m.p.h. around the two-mile oval for his series-leading fifth pole of the season and the eighth of his career. He is the current points leader and the defending race winner at Michigan.

Ryan Truex, the younger brother of Sprint Cup Series regular Martin Truex Jr., will start on the outside pole after a lap of 178.625 m.p.h. Truex is making just his second Nationwide start.

Colin Braun qualified third, followed by Jason Leffler and Ryan Newman.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Justin Allgaier, Trevor Bayne, Joey Logano and Kyle Busch, winner of nine Nationwide races so far this season, completed the top-10.

Keselowski holds a very comfortable 327-point lead over Carl Edwards, who qualified 14th.

Danica Patrick, in her sixth Nationwide appearance, will start 33rd.

Johnny Chapman was the only driver who failed to qualify.

Michigan is the second time Nationwide teams use the new car. The car made its debut last month at Daytona, with Keselowski putting his Dodge Challenger on the pole for that race. Richmond (September 12) and Charlotte (October 15) are the other tracks scheduled for this car before it's introduced full-time in 2011.

The 250-mile race at Michigan is scheduled to start shortly after 2:00 p.m. (et).

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
