There are only two races left for Carl Edwards to catch Jimmie Johnson. I don\u2019t see it happening, but sometimes craziness reigns in NASCAR. Sports betting fans have to consider Jimmie a prime candidate for online bet of the year. <\/p>\n
He was 7 to 1 to take down his third straight Cup right before the Chase started. Johnson has the perfect crew, perfect car, and driving smarts to be one of the best, if not the best, driver in NASCAR history.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s probably already there.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s get to it!<\/p>\n
Race-time: 11\/9\/2008 3:00 pm est.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1.\tJimmie Johnson – – online betting odds + 400<\/strong> – – Jimmie won this race last year and even though he\u2019s chalk in this, I can\u2019t imagine him not finishing in the top two. His crew knows this Phoenix track about as well as anybody. Jimmie wins this and secures his third straight Cup victory.<\/p>\n 2.\tJeff Gordon – – online betting odds + 1500<\/strong> – – It\u2019s been a hugely disappointing year for Gordon and his crew. Nobody expected the greatest driver in NASCAR in the past ten years to not win a single race. Maybe, I missed one along the journey. Nope. Gordon hasn\u2019t hoisted a trophy in a while. I\u2019ll take another chance on him at nice online odds.<\/p>\n 3.\tGreg Biffle – – online betting odds + 1000<\/strong> – – Biff has been very good in the Chase this year. He could do well in this race and leapfrog to number two in the standings. That\u2019s the case. Or, he could find himself struggling to get anything done. Either way, he\u2019s worth a shot at double-digit online odds.<\/p>\n 4.\tTony Stewart – – online betting odds + 800 <\/strong>– – Stewart has had some nice runs in the Chase this season and even though he won\u2019t get close to Jimmie, he\u2019s given us online sportsbook fans a chance to see what might transpire next year. I like Tony to do well in this.<\/p>\n 5.\tCarl Edwards – – online betting odds + 400<\/strong> – – Edwards has gotten close enough to Jimmie to put a scare into team Hendrick, but his online odds are just too low for me to make an online bet on him in this race. He should drive well, but at the same odds, I\u2019ll take Jimmie.<\/p>\n 6.\tJeff Burton – – online betting odds + 1500<\/strong> – – Burton is worth a shot at 15 to 1 because he presents a huge overlay. He too has done well during the Cup Chase but he doesn\u2019t have the cars necessary to challenge a guy like Jimmie Johnson. I like Burton to put in a nice run but then lose it at the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Phoenix International Raceway hosts the 2008 O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts 500.
