The NASCAR Cup Championship Playoffs are down to the Round of 8 and there are only four races left to go in what has been a wild and wonky 2020 season. Credit to NASCAR officials, the drivers, the teams, and everybody involved in the process. The calendar had 36 races scheduled and the 33rd race of the season will be the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway.

Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin sit 1 &amp; 2 in the readjusted standings and also sit as co-favorites in this race. The NASCAR schedule was impacted by a lot of cancellations and postponements, but we still managed to see nine races on 1.5-mile tracks prior to this one. Hamlin has the only two wins between the two guys, with wins at Homestead-Miami and Kansas.

As we often see on 1.5-mile tracks, the prices are depressed on several guys, as the prices for the middle of the pack guys go up a bit. We’ve got four drivers under 6/1 this week. We haven’t seen that in a long time.
<h3><strong><u>Standings Update</u></strong></h3>
As mentioned, the standings were readjusted for the next round of the playoffs. All drivers still in contention were reset to 4,000 points and then bonus points accrued during the regular season and the playoffs were applied. Harvick leads with 4,067 points. Hamlin is second with 4,053 points. Brad Keselowski is third with 4,035 points. Chase Elliott is fourth with 4,027 points, which puts him just above the cut line thanks to his bonus points from winning on the Roval last week.

Joey Logano has 4,022 points. Martin Truex Jr. has 4,017 points and is one of those drivers under 6/1 this week. Alex Bowman has 4,009 points and Kurt Busch has 4,006 points. Busch survived thanks to his win on the 1.5-mile track at Las Vegas in the last round.
<h3><strong><u>Kansas</u></strong><strong><u> Speedway</u></strong></h3>
This is about as generic as a track gets in NASCAR. There is a road course at Kansas and maybe that will be part of the schedule down the line, but the tri-oval with four turns and 1.5 miles of racing is the track in question this week. Progressive turns between 17-20 degrees and a pretty flat backstretch with 5-degree banking are the hallmarks of this track.

NASCAR has come to Kansas twice a year since 2011. Racing started here back in 2001 when Jeff Gordon won the first of three races just off of I-70. There is a Hollywood Casino on site, hence the sponsorship that has been in place since 2010 for this race.

There have been five different winners over the last five years and none of them are surprising names, as Joey Logano, Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr., Chase Elliott, and Denny Hamlin have been victorious. Hamlin also won earlier this year and has three wins on the track. Another win would make him the only driver with four career wins at Kansas.
<h3><strong><u>Cup Championship Odds</u></strong></h3>
Before we finish looking at this race, here are the <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/mybookie"><strong>MyBookie</strong> </a>prices for the overall champion with eight drivers left:

Kevin Harvick +150

Denny Hamlin +220

Chase Elliott +600

Brad Keselowski +600

Martin Truex Jr. +1000

Joey Logano +1200

Kurt Busch +2500

Alex Bowman +2500

Harvick, Hamlin, Elliott, and Keselowski have an inside track to the season finale at Phoenix. Harvick owns Phoenix and is the points leader, so he is the favorite. Hamlin is also just about a lock to advance to the next round, unless all three wins in this round come from drivers below him, which is entirely possible.
<h3><strong><u>Kansas</u></strong><strong><u> Results</u></strong></h3>
There have been 29 races at Kansas. Kevin Harvick has been in all of them and has three wins, nine top-five finishes, and the highest average finish in 9.6th place. Martin Truex Jr. and Jimmie Johnson also have nine top-five finishes each. Chase Elliott has four in just nine starts here.

Joey Logano’s aggressiveness has hurt him and helped him here. He has two wins and seven top-five finishes, but he’s only finished on the lead lap 12 times in 22 races. When he finishes the race, he generally does very well, but he’s had issues at this track. He’s finished the race 18 of 22 times, but has had various hiccups at this track.

If we look specifically at the last 10 races, Kyle Busch leads in top-five and top-10 finishes with six and eight, respectively, but he is having a terrible season by his standards. Harvick, Truex, and Hamlin each have five. Harvick’s 417 points are 30 more than Busch and 51 more than Truex, so this has certainly been a strong track for him. Harvick struggled last round, but Talladega and road courses are not his forte.

Kurt Busch doesn’t have a win here, but has the fourth-highest average finish over the last 10 starts behind Harvick, Truex, and brother Kyle.

Basically, the big takeaway here is that you should not expect a surprise.
<h3><strong><u>Hollywood Casino 400 Picks</u></strong></h3>
To me, it has to be Harvick and Hamlin this week. With both guys at +400, you’ll still turn a profit if you bet a unit on each. Joey Logano at +1200 is a good gamble for a half or quarter unit as well. He has only finished seven of the last 10 here, but has a win, three top-five finishes, and four top-10 finishes when he has been able to complete all 267 laps.

Florida Panthers vs Boston Bruins Betting Pick & Prediction 5/10/24

Injuries are a big part of the story line as the Carolina Panthers pay a visit to the nation's capital (or reasonably close to it) to face the Washington Football Team in a game that is more important to the home team from a playoff standpoint. Kickoff is at 4:05 PM ET at FedEx Field in Landover, MD.
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>CAROLINA PANTHERS at WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM, 4:05 PM ET (Sunday)</strong></span></h3>
<h4><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline">BetOnline</a> Football Betting Odds: Washington pick (-119), Total 41.5</strong></h4>
There had been some hope that Alex Smith could start at quarterback for the "Football Team," and there was still that possibility on Sunday morning. But the likelihood isn't there. Smith has a calf injury, and concerns linger as to the complications it could cause for his leg. So they want to be careful.

Dwayne Haskins would be the quarterback in his stead, and he has been adequate at best. Last week against Seattle, Haskins threw for 295 yards, but it took him 55 attempts to do it. So as he's moving along at a putt-putt rate (6 ypa), this perhaps puts additional pressure on the defense.

The word is that Haskins isn't going to be kept around for next year. They just don't like his immaturity, and this latest incident where he was in a strip club without a mask was just another nail in the coffin. So this would function as an audition for a future employer, and under genuinely pressurized circumstances. At the moment Washington has a 6-8 record (7-5-2 ATS), and that is good enough to be the leader in the NFC East.

It is likely Haskins will have to work without Terry McLaurin, the team's best receiver and a teammate from Ohio State, who is doubtful with an ankle injury.

We have, on more than one occasion, praised the Carolina coaching staff for making this team competitive in a transition season, and for the most part, without running back Christian McCaffrey, who is doubtful with various ailments, including a thigh injury. Joe Brady, the young offensive coordinator, has been able to figure a way to get the ball moving despite only having perhaps the top backfield weapon in football for only three games. The Panthers are seventh best in the NFL in yards gained per drive, an unusual state of affairs for a team with a 4-10 record (8-6 ATS).

The tough combination for Carolina is their inability to convert red zone opportunities into touchdowns. they've done so on only 52% of their opportunities, and that means only the Bengals, Giants and Jets have been worse. Meanwhile, when you look at this Washington defense, only the Denver Broncos have been stingier when it comes to keeping opponents out of the end zone when it comes to those red zone situations, and it's been neck-and-neck.

In other words, while Teddy Bridgewater &amp; Co. might be able to move the ball well between the 20s, that might not sustain itself the rest of the way.

The current strings for the Panthers are six consecutive road covers and eight covering efforts in their last nine as an underdog. That's strong. But not sure the oddsmakers are being too generous with them in this instance. Remember that the "FT" has covered five straight games, and a couple of those have been with Haskins at quarterback. Over that period they have surrendered just 77 points (15.4 per game).

And these Washington players know this is a meaningful game on a personal level for Ron Rivera, who was fired by the Panthers with four games left last season in what came as a big surprise to him. A little payback maybe?

Yeah, maybe. A vote for the Daniel Snyders in this near- pick'em game.

NJIT Highlanders vs Villanova Wildcats NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/8/24

Figuring out which game to preview in the NHL on Friday is pretty easy. There is only one game and it will feature the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Winnipeg Jets. Neither team has anything to play for here. Toronto has already locked up the top spot in the North Division and the Jets will be the third seed and face Edmonton in the first round.

These games with nothing on the line are really challenging handicaps. With a standalone road game and nothing of great importance to play for, it’s fair to wonder if guys like Auston Matthews even make the trip for this one. It is much more important to avoid injury and also get ready for the Oilers.

Toronto is still a big favorite in the betting markets of around -155 at <strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a></strong> with a total of 5.5. Let’s see if we can sort through everything here and find a play.
<h2><strong><u>Toronto Maple Leafs</u></strong></h2>
One thing we do know about this game is that both started goaltenders are slated to get the call. That means Jack Campbell for the Maple Leafs in his last playoff tune-up. Campbell is having a magnificent season for the Maple Leafs with a 17-2-2 record, a 2.11 GAA, and a .923 SV%. Toronto may not have been in dire need of goaltending with Frederik Andersen, but with a shoddy defense over the last few seasons, Campbell’s play has been nothing short of terrific.

One thing that has to excite Toronto here is that they won’t play the Jets in the first round. Winnipeg could be dangerous with some top-end scoring and Connor Hellebuyck. Instead, Toronto draws a Montreal team that has not had much success against the Leafs during the regular season.

The Maple Leafs cannot help who they have played this season. The schedule wasn’t their idea. However, it should come as no surprise that Toronto is +38 in goal differential at 5-v-5. Winnipeg is +7 in that department. The Maple Leafs have leaned hard on Auston Matthews and their other scorers, but the fact is that Toronto is just so much better than six of the seven teams in this division.

That includes the Jets, though, as Toronto has won six of the nine head-to-head meetings this season.
<h2><strong><u>Winnipeg Jets</u></strong></h2>
The Jets could be a dangerous team for the Oilers in the playoffs if we see the Connor Hellebuyck that we saw last season. This year’s version hasn’t been bad either, posting a 2.60 GAA with a .915 SV%. Hellebuyck has really been a workhorse throughout his career and especially of late, so it isn’t a huge surprise to see him between the pipes to stay sharp here.

As the latter part of the season shook out in the North Division, it was pretty clear that the Jets were going to make the playoffs, but they have not played like a playoff team of late. Winnipeg just snapped an eight-game losing streak with a win over Vancouver that assured the #3 seed in the division and a matchup with the Oilers.

Hellebuyck hit a bit of a wall in April with a GAA over 3 and a SV% under .900, so it would have made some sense to give him a day off on the last day of the regular season for the Jets, but he’s coming off of a shutout and seemingly wants to stay sharp.

Will the Jets rest some players here? There aren’t a whole lot of personal accolades to shoot for in this game. Players like to go for round numbers to make their free agent cases look better, but the Jets haven’t really had any dominant scoring threats this season. We could see watered-down rosters on both sides here.
<h2><strong><u>Maple Leafs vs. Jets Free Pick</u></strong></h2>
We may be missing some scorers here, but maybe also some of the better defensemen on the roster. At least we have two really good goaltenders here. This should be a game played with a running clock. The coaches will be rotating all four lines all game and it seems like both sides should just want to get in and get out and get ready for the games that matter. That looks like the recipe for an under to me.

Philadelphia Flyers vs New York Islanders Betting Pick & Prediction 1/24/25

Doubleheaders were once one of the great bargains in baseball. Typically held on weekends, a twinbill allowed fans to see two games for the price of one, something that didn’t sit too well with the owners. In their infinite wisdom, the owners came up with the idea of having day – night doubleheaders, so fans could still see two games in one day, only they’d have to pay to see each game individually. These are seldom scheduled, but only put into place after rainouts and other unforeseen circumstances.

For bettors, the doubleheader poses several interesting questions, such as how the losing team of the first game does in the second game. If the first game goes over does the second stay under? Do home teams have any special edge? Those are some of the questions we’ll answer in this small series.

But first, let’s look at what happens the day after a doubleheader. The prevailing concept is that the teams will use a number of pitchers in the doubleheader. If the starter struggles at all, the team can leave him in longer than normal or bring in a tired relief pitcher. Either way, that should bode well for the over and after digging into it, there is some logic to that assumption.

The day after a doubleheader, when the same two teams are playing, games have gone 110-87-8 in totals, which has yielded a profit of $1,545 and an ROI of roughly 6.9% by playing the over. If you discount the games that are expected to be decent pitcher’s battles; those games with a total of 6.5 or less, you can up your winning percentage slightly. Those games with a total of 7 or more have produced a record of 110-87-8, which has yielded a profit of $1,785 and a ROI of roughly 8%.

Home teams have also fared better than expected the day after a doubleheader. Whether it’s due to an extremely tired road team being in unfamiliar surroundings or a case of something different, it’s proven difficult for road teams to overcome. Home teams have gone 124-81 for a flat-bet profit of $2,946 and an ROI of 10.6%. Home underdogs have fared the best, going 38-28 for a profit of $1,699 and an impressive ROI of 25%, while home favorites haven’t done bad and show a profit of just under $1,400, although the ROI is quite a bit less at 6.7%.

Where things get interesting is if there was a sweep in the doubleheader. If the home team swept the doubleheader they follow that up with a 41-21 record and a profit of $1,666 with an 18.5% ROI. Home underdogs were 10-6 for an ROI of greater than 37.5%. If the road team swept the doubleheader home teams are 28-20 for a profit of $669 and an ROI of 11.4%.

Give the home teams and the over a good look the day after a doubleheader if the same two teams are meeting once again.
