Presbyterian Blue Hose vs North Carolina State Wolfpack NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/8/24

The NASCAR Cup Series has another quick turnaround this week, as the Super Start Batteries 400 will take place at Kansas Speedway on Thursday July 23. NASCAR probably didn’t realize that they’d be going up against Opening Day in Major League Baseball when they put this one during the week with the modified schedule, but it is what it is and they’ll hope to secure their regular audience and then some.

The drivers will get a much needed break after this. The next Cup Series race won’t be until August 2. This ends a run of 16 races in 67 days, which is unheard of at the NASCAR level. Seven races will be run from August 2 to August 29 in advance of the start of the playoffs on September 6.

The O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 wound up being another worst-case scenario for the drivers near the cut line. Austin Dillon, who does sit 14th in points now, won last week at Texas. That marks two weeks in a row that a driver outside of the playoff picture hawked a win. It was Cole Custer at Kentucky and now Austin Dillon at Texas. Dillon was 16th in points before the win, but Custer’s win would have left him out of the top 16 if the playoffs started last week.

Now, Dillon, who is +6600 to win this week, has secured a playoff berth.
<h3><strong><u>How They Stand</u></strong></h3>
The drivers that make it into the final eight will have a lot on the line for the second Kansas race, which will come October 18. That will be the first of three races in the Round of 8 portion of the playoffs.

At present, the top eight drivers are Kevin Harvick, Ryan Blaney, Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano, Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin, Martin Truex Jr., and Aric Almirola. That sure is a lot of representation for Ford in the top eight, as the first spot belongs to Harvick from Stewart-Haas Racing and the next three spots belong to the Team Penske crew. Almirola also runs a Ford for Stewart-Haas.

Almirola is the only one of the eight without a win, but he is safely in the playoffs anyway. The other drivers with wins are Alex Bowman, Austin Dillon, and Cole Custer. The others firmly in the playoffs are Kurt Busch, Kyle Busch, Matt DiBenedetto, and Clint Bowyer.

Jimmie Johnson sits precariously in 15th place with 427 points. Right now, he sits just two points ahead of William Byron for what amounts to the last playoff spot because Custer, who is 22nd in points, had that win at Kentucky.
<h3><strong><u>We’re Actually In Kansas, Toto</u></strong></h3>
As mentioned, Kansas is a twice-a-year stop. It is actually a pretty popular race destination with the Hollywood Casino, who owns naming rights for the playoff race, just in front of the track and it is a short drive on I-70 from either Kansas City or St. Louis to get to the race. Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus pandemic, fans will not be on hand.

That is a shame because this is one of the quainter NASCAR tracks with capacity under 50,000. It is a standard 1.5-mile tri-oval with turns between 17-20 degrees and a pretty flat backstretch. The track opened in 2001 and has hosted events since that inaugural year, but picked up this second race in 2011.

In 2019, there were only seven cautions and there were only six cautions in 2018. There were 15 cautions in 2017 and the race was red-flagged for about 28 minutes. Hopefully the weather cooperates on Thursday night.
<h3><strong><u>The Odds Board</u></strong></h3>
Kevin Harvick is +400 this week and your race favorite. Chase Elliott and Martin Truex Jr. are +600 and then Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch are +650. Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney are +800 and then Joey Logano is +1000 and Aric Almirola is +1200. Per usual, there is a big gap after that.

We are looking at some lengthy droughts among those top contenders, though. Harvick has only gone two races without a win and has five straight top-five finishes, so his favorite role is very much justified. Elliott has been priced like a superstar most of the year, but he hasn’t won in 10 races since he won the second Charlotte race after the restart.

Truex only has one win this season and only two additional top-five finishes. Hamlin has gone just three races without a win, but has finished outside the top 10 in all three. Busch doesn’t have a win yet this season and only has one in his last 39 starts.

Keselowski hasn’t won since Bristol and Logano hasn’t won since Phoenix. Blaney’s only win came at Talladega, but he was the best last week at Texas with the most laps led and two stage wins. Almirola doesn’t have a win, but strung together all five of his top-five finishes before finishing eighth and 10th in the last two events.

The pricing structure in NASCAR seems a little off right now. Drivers are largely priced on reputation. In fairness, a lot of these guys can win any week, but they haven’t been. We’ve seen some off-the-board winners the last two weeks.

It sort of brings up a philosophical discussion with NASCAR. Which matters more? Track history or recent form?
<h3><strong><u>Kansas</u></strong><strong><u> Form</u></strong></h3>
Admittedly, I don’t know. Harvick has two wins, two seconds, and a third over his last 10 races at Kansas, but has also finished outside the top five in four of his last five starts. Overall, he has eight top-five finishes and 15 top-10 finishes in 28 starts.

Kyle Busch has a win and six total top-five finishes in his last nine starts at Kansas. He was third in the playoff race last year and second in the playoff race in 2018. His win came in this race back in 2016. If you’re looking for him to end the drought, though, he only has one win in 24 races here and only seven top-five finishes.

His brother, Kurt, was fourth in the fall here last year and seventh in the first race. He doesn’t have any wins here, but four top-five finishes in 28 starts.

The results are kind of spread around here. Johnson and Harvick have three wins apiece, but Johnson’s last Kansas win came in 2015. Matt Kenseth, Truex, Keselowski, Hamlin, and Logano are the only other active multiple winners here.

Elliott has probably had the highest rate of success with a win and four total top-five finishes in just eight starts. He also has five total top-10 finishes. He won the fall race in 2018.

Truex swept these two races in 2017, was second and fifth in 2018, and then 19th and sixth in 2019. Truex just hasn’t shown enough consistent speed this season and really since Furniture Row Racing got swallowed up officially by Joe Gibbs Racing to be worth taking at +600.
<h3><strong><u>Picks</u></strong></h3>
Despite the 1.5-mile length of this track, we’ve seen results that have been all over the place. Even though the price isn’t great relative to the recent results, Chase Elliott makes the card this week at +600. He’s been strong in his starts here.
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/mybookie"><span class="td_btn td_btn_lg td_3D_btn"><span style="color: #ffff00; background-color: #0000ff;">BET ON CHASE ELLIOTT TO WIN THE SUPER START BATTERIES 400</span></span></a></p>
We’ll also try again with Erik Jones at +2800. Jones has finished in the top seven in each of his last four starts here and it seems like we’ve reached the silly season with wins for Dillon and Custer.

The Super Start Batteries 400 presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts will be on NBC Sports Network on July 23 with a 7:30 p.m. ET start time.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

<h3><strong>BAYLOR BEARS at IOWA STATE CYCLONES, 7 PM ET</strong></h3>
<h4><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports">BetAnySports</a> NCAA Football Line: Iowa State -14, Total 47.5</strong></h4>
It was not the easiest thing in the world for Baylor to get the 2020 season underway amidst all the COVID-19 stuff, particularly when head coach Matt Rhule, who had done a quick turnaround job, departed for the Carolina Panthers and took some of his staff with him. Not that the Bears didn't get themselves a "flavor of the month" hire in LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, but - not for nuthin' - the stop unit was not the best part of that Bayou Bengal squad.

Baylor's defense has actually done a credible job in games against foes like West Virginia and Texas. But the offense is without much spark. Charlie Brewer - he's okay at the quarterback spot, but you're getting yardage only in small slivers with him behind center (5.9 yards an attempt - that's kind of 'blah').

We'll see now if Baylor can put the clamps on Breece Hall (6.7 ypc, 11 TD's), who may be as good a running back as there is in the Big 12 right now (with apologies to Chuba Hubbard). NFL-bound QB Brock Purdy can not only get it down the field (8.8 ypa), but he's thrown only three interceptions in 192 attempts. Nice yard-per-carry ratio for the Cyclones (5.8 for, 3.2 against). Baylor's is a little different (2.8 to 4.1). And we know from the win against Oklahoma that this ISU crew can keep pace with almost anyone in the country. The number is generous, but IOWA STATE has what it takes to extend a margin.
<h3><strong>SOUTH ALABAMA JAGUARS at COASTAL CAROLINA CHANTICLEERS, 8 PM ET</strong></h3>
<h4><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/bas">BetAnySports</a> College Football Odds: Coastal Carolina 17.5, Total 55.5</strong></h4>
Can you imagine that just a few short years ago Coastal Carolina was doing its best to keep up with other clubs at the FCS level? And now, at 15th in the Associated Press poll, if they keep up with this unbeaten record, they could find themselves playing in a New Year's Six game? That's possible, but they would have to get by a Group of 5 showdown against emerging Liberty, which, believe it or not, has also appeared in the polls at #25.

No doubt their former coach, billionaire Joe Moglia (ex-CEO of TD Ameritrade), who is still involved with the athletic program, is proud. Too bad the staunch conservative didn't have enough juice in the Omaha area to grab that single electoral vote for Donald Trump. But that's another discussion for another time.

What's operative here is that CCU has won by at least two touchdowns in dominant home performances against the likes of Arkansas State and Georgia Southern. And if there was a G-5 Heisman-type trophy, QB Grayson McCall would surely be up to it, with a monstrous 10.7 yards an attempt and a 15-1 TD-INT ratio.

We are wary about laying points to South Alabama, and we respect that Desmond Trotter has made significant strides over last season. But we also have to recognize other factors; one is that, even though they scored what was regarded at the time as a genuine upset over Southern Miss (since then, not so much), the only time USA really stepped up, they were beaten pretty handily by UAB (42-10) at home.

Now maybe the attitude is different for the Chanticleers, since they have ascended into the rankings and thus are playing for bigger stakes than just a Sun Belt title. So laying the number, even a slightly inflated one, not such an unreasonable notion with COASTAL CAROLINA.
