Autoracing Betting Lines
01/09/2012 - Spartanburg, SC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - In addition to his full-time Sprint Cup Series schedule, Kurt Busch will compete in selected Nationwide Series races for Phoenix Racing during the 2012 season.
The team noted in its news release on Monday that Busch will race in "all major events" in Nationwide this year. He will compete in next month's season- opener at Daytona. No other dates have been announced at this time.
"Everyone at Phoenix Racing is excited about competing on the Nationwide circuit this year," Steve Barkdoll, general manager of Phoenix Racing, said in a team statement. "Our Nationwide Series team is a proven, winning organization, and we're looking forward to Busch continuing the tradition. This is a great opportunity for a company to partner with a top-notch program."
Last month, Busch signed with Phoenix Racing for the upcoming Sprint Cup season after he parted ways with Penske Racing.
Phoenix Racing has collected 12 wins and 150 top-10 finishes since it entered Nationwide competition in 1989. Busch has three Nationwide victories so far, with his most recent win coming last August at Watkins Glen, NY, where he substituted for the injured Brad Keselowski.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
