Steve Letarte and the guys started out reviewing last weekend’s race at Watkins Glen, and, specifically, what Chris Buescher’s win did to Tampa Timms’ bet slip.
Then, their attention turned to the current books as NASCAR heads to Bristol this weekend for the final race in the first round of the Cup Series Playoffs. Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, Chase Elliott, Christopher Bell and Brad Keselowski all sit in Tier 1 of the Professor’s model. The sportsbooks aren’t as high on Elliott as the model is, so some value can be found there.
Kyle Busch is in Tier 2, but his success at Bristol can’t be overlooked.
Denny Hamlin has won the last two races at Bristol, but is limping into the race below the cutline. Steve and The Professor break down how many points Denny needs to earn in order to advance. On the flipside, Alex Bowman has had a great Playoffs so far, and yet, the books have him plus-money for a top-10. Tampa Timms is all over that bet.
Martin Truex Jr. also sits below the cutline, but unfortunately for him, he doesn’t have a good track record at Bristol, so this is a race you should fade him.
Looking for a longshot? Michael McDowell is a longshot Top-10 driver Tampa Timms is paying attention to this weekend. Timms might even bet McDowell for Top Ford.
On Friday night, Dale Earnhardt Jr. returns to the Xfinity Series for just one race. At +1000 odds, Steve thinks you have to at least put $1 on him.
The guys then move to football and have a new in-show bet to debut. Each week, all four guys will select one bet to combine for a 4-leg parlay with each person betting $5. Of course, we’re off to a great start with The Professor and Steve picking the same bet, so this week, it’s a 3-leg parlay:
Liberty -6.5 vs East Carolina
Tennessee -6.5 vs Oklahoma
Las Vegas Raiders -5.5 vs Carolina Panthers.
The guys also have bets on Colorado, USC, Washington, IU, Syracuse and more.
