Busch edges Stewart in wild Bud Shootout at Daytona

Autoracing Betting Lines

02/18/2012 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - In what turned out to be a frantic night of racing at Daytona International Speedway, Kyle Busch bounced back from two near wrecks and then beat reigning Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart to the finish line by inches to win Saturday's Budweiser Shootout at Daytona.

Midway through the race, Busch got nudged by Jimmie Johnson and lost control but did an amazing job of saving his car. He was also involved in a multi-car crash in the closing laps, which led to a green-white-checkered finish.

Busch made a sling-shot pass on Stewart coming out of the final turn of the last lap and then beat him by 0.01 seconds for his first win in the preseason, non-points race at Daytona.

With the return of pack drafting and less two-car tandems at Daytona, the race featured three major crashes, including the final one that featured Jeff Gordon's car getting flipped upside down and sliding about 1,000 feet along the backstretch before it moved side over side multiple times and came to a rest on its roof. Gordon crawled out of the car unscathed.

Marcos Ambrose, in his first Budweiser Shootout appearance, finished third. Brad Keselowski, also a newcomer to this event, placed fourth, and Denny Hamlin completed the top-five.

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. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
