Autoracing Betting Lines

02/19/2012 - Daytona Beach, FL Sportsbook Betting Lines) - NASCAR's eligibility requirements for the 2013 Budweiser Shootout at Daytona International Speedway is returning to its roots.

The sanctioning body announced on Sunday -- prior to qualifying for the February 26 Daytona 500 -- the field for next year's preseason, non-points race will consist of pole winners in the Sprint Cup Series this season as well as previous winners of the Budweiser Shootout. The eligibility format will be the same one used from 1979 through 2008.

"Fans have expressed their desire to see this event return to its original eligibility rules," said Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR's senior vice president of racing operations. "We listened and decided it would be best to return to the eligibility rules of years past, adding further meaning to pole qualifying for each NASCAR Sprint Cup race."

The pole winner for the Daytona 500 will earn a spot in next year's Budweiser Shootout. Last night, Kyle Busch locked up a position in the field with his thrilling victory in the Shootout. Busch bounced back from two near wrecks and then made a last-lap pass on reigning series champion Tony Stewart. He beat Stewart to the finish line by 0.013 seconds, making it the closest margin in the history of that event.

Eighteen different drivers won a pole in NASCAR's premier series last season.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
