Autoracing Betting Lines

06/20/2010 - Newton, IA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tony Kanaan snapped a 34-race winless drought in the IZOD IndyCar Series by taking Sunday's Iowa Corn Indy 250 at Iowa Speedway.

Kanaan, the 2004 series champion, passed Helio Castroneves with 10 laps remaining and then held off Castroneves at the finish by 4.2 seconds. It was Kanaan's 14th career IndyCar win, but his first since June 2008 at Richmond.

E.J. Viso finished a career-best third, while Ryan Briscoe and Will Power, the pole sitter, rounded out the top-five.

Power now holds an 11-point lead over Scott Dixon, who finished sixth. Dario Franchitti, who won at Iowa in 2007 and '09, suffered a gear-box issue late in the race and wound up finishing 18th. The defending series champion fell 14 points behind Power.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
