Autoracing Betting Lines

01/19/2012 - Mooresville, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Busch Motorsports announced on Thursday that brothers Kyle and Kurt Busch will share driving duties in the No.54 Toyota during the 2012 Nationwide Series season.

KBM is entering its first full season of competition in Nationwide this year. Monster Energy will serve as primary sponsor for the team during the 33-race schedule. Kyle is scheduled to drive the car in the February 25 season-opening race at Daytona and then the next four events -- Phoenix, Las Vegas, Bristol and California.

In 2010, KBM won the Camping World Truck Series owner's championship in its inaugural year. KBM said its primary goal will be to capture the owner's title in Nationwide this season.

"Since debuting in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, KBM has had the goal to add a championship-caliber Nationwide Series team to our organization," driver/owner Kyle Busch said in a team statement. "With Monster Energy as primary sponsor and my brother Kurt as the second driver, we've accomplished that goal.

"The Monster Energy team of athletes consists of champion performers united by a desire to be the best. Kurt and I share that same desire and will settle for nothing less than adding a NASCAR championship to the long list of achievements for one of the strongest brands in the world."

It's not known at this time how many Nationwide races Kurt Busch will drive for KBM this year. He is also running a limited Nationwide schedule for Phoenix Racing, which begins with next month's race at Daytona. He will drive for Phoenix Racing in the Sprint Cup Series this season.

Mike Beam will serve as crew chief for the No.54 team. Beam's career has included stints at Roush Fenway Racing and Petty Enterprises.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
