Watch out. Here comes NASCAR.

The stock car organization has announced it is returning to live action with an aggressive schedule. The Monster Cup Series will resume on May 17 at Darlington, and the schedule has been reshaped in order to incorporate some of the races that were lost to the lockdown.

That means <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customers who love to wager on NASCAR racing will be able to check out seven races in an eleven-day period of time.

Four of those will be Cup events, with two in the Xfinity Series and one truck race. The first three will be held at Darlington, the oldest super-speedway on the circuit. And then things shift over to Charlotte Motor Speedway, where there would be four straight days of racing, starting off with the Coca-Cola 600 on May 24, with the second of two Wednesday Cup races on May 27.

Fans won't be allowed onto the grounds, but the races will be televised.

Everything is kind of new because of the extraordinary circumstances, so NASCAR officials are going to be playing it by ear. Practices and a qualifying process won't be conducted at Darlington, and even though drivers and teams will have to qualify at Charlotte the next week, that could change.

Face masks are going to be mandatory for everyone who enters the facility. And everyone, including team members, will have to practice social distancing guidelines. Pit stops will be conducted, with those crew members also required to wear a face covering.

NASCAR is going to be especially cautious about the ongoing health of those associated with each team. So there will be constant monitoring, and everyone will have to keep a log tracing their contacts.

The interesting thing for BetAnySports patrons to note is that the drivers and crew members will not be taking coronavirus tests, because NASCAR says it does not want to take those tests away from others within the community who may be i need of them.

The safety precautions that have been put in place have had to come with the approval of government officials, and frankly, they are extensive enough that they probably exceed anything that is being done in the general public.

Former Cup champion Brad Keselowski echoed what most of the other drivers said when he tweeted, We’ll be missing the fans, but we’ve got some of the best in sports and their energy will still be felt when we strap back in. I’m looking forward to what’s ahead."

NASCAR has drawn up a bunch of different schedules, but the full intention is to run all 36 Cup races. They've only had four so far. For now, they are looking to place these events at venues within an easy driving distance of Charlotte, which serves as headquarters for a great many of the Cup teams.

To this point, NASCAR has been entertaining its fans with iRacing via the NASCAR Pro Invitational Series. These simulations are entertaining, and they do involve the real drivers. But there have been unintended consequences. On April 12, Kyle Larson was heard on one of his radio channels using the "N-word" with a crew member, and as a result he got himself suspended by the organization, dropped by his sponsors and fired from Chip Ganassi Racing.

On the plus side, Ryan Newman, who almost won the Daytona 500 before getting into a horrific crash and suffering a head injury, has been medically cleared to race, so he should be back out there. He has also received a waiver from NASCAR so that he can remain eligible for the championship, despite missing three races.

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

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.

Georgia State Panthers vs Jacksonville State Gamecocks NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/13/24

If the Cincinnati Bengals would have had the services of rookie Joe Burrow, the Monday Night Football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers would have been a lot more interesting for <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>patrons to watch.

Not that it would have necessarily made it much easier to handicap.

But without Burrow, the Bengals are just another team that is limping toward the finish line in what has quickly become a rather regrettable season.

With the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, they were fun to watch, and often more competitive. Not that the Bengals are laying down in recent weeks, but they are not going to win any shootouts over the opposition.

The fact is, they haven't won much at all. Cincinnati takes a 2-10-1 straight-up record (7-5-1 ATS) into the Monday matchup, while the Steelers, at 11-2 (8-5 ATS) would seem to be the much more motivated side, as they will allow the Cleveland Browns to get within a game of their AFC North lead if they suffer their third consecutive loss, with a meeting against the Browns slated for the season finale.

When the Bengals lost to the Dallas Cowboys, Brandon Allen, who had been the choice at quarterback because of his familiarity with head coach Zac Taylor's system, injured his right knee and was held out of practice, which opened the door for Ryan Finley to take snaps with the first team. So here he is, as Allen is officially out.

In the Monday Night Football odds posted by BetAnySports on this game, the Steelers are laying two TD's on the road:

<strong>Pittsburgh Steelers -14</strong>
<strong>Cincinnati Bengals +14</strong>

<strong>Over 40.5 Points -110</strong>
<strong>Under 40.5 Points -110</strong>

Finley hasn't played much this season. He has, in fact, attempted only 19 passes, and two of those have been interceptions. Last season he made three starts, and lost them all. In his brief career he is a 48% passer.

Kevin Hogan, the former Stanford star, will be the backup.

So as you can imagine, it's going to be an uphill battle getting into the end zone against the Pittsburgh defense, which came into this week's action ranked second in both yards and points allowed per drive, seventh in red zone defense, forces three-and-outs on 27.8% of possessions and leads the NFL in Sack Percentage.

On defense, Cincy, which ranks 30th in that Sack Percentage category, is going to be challenged as well.

As you probably know, Carlos Dunlap, who was one of the Bengals who was very unhappy, is not a part of the defense anymore, having been dealt off to Seattle. And the Bengals were unable to put much heat on Ben Roethlisberger the first time around, with only six "pressures" in 46 dropback situations. The result was a 333-yard day in the 36-10 Steeler victory (November 10).

As bad as the Bengals have been, they have hung in there on a lot of occasions in spite of being undermanned. In fact, during Taylor's tenure, thirteen of Cincinnati's losses have been by eight points or less.

And the second-year head coach, a former quarterback at Nebraska, does have his fans.

"He's an awesome coach," says Burrow.

But would Joe Brady be even more awesome? Burrow knows about the Carolina Panthers' offensive coordinator already, obviously. And Brady has, despite Carolina's 4-10 record, reportedly drawn a lot of interest from teams who are perhaps looking for the next Sean McVay.

Taylor was thought to be that guy, having been a colleague of McVay's, but many players have found him "uncommunicative," and there have been complaints about his assistants speaking with "abusive" language toward them, sometimes with racial overtones. That doesn't help when you're trying to recruit free agents. It's what has led players like Dunlap to seek greener pastures.

And let's face it - when you have a 4-24-1 head coaching record, as is the case with Taylor, you don't exactly take all the leverage in the world into an evaluation.

It is tough for us to imagine Cincy getting much offense going with Finley. So laying the points with the Steelers is probably the only way to go, although we wouldn't make a big plunge. The "team total" for the Bengals is worth exploring. At the moment the price is -115 on an "Under 13" for them, and if you have absolutely no faith in the offense, you could even get +240 that they'll score seven points or less. Consider that Cincinnati has tallied 50 points over the last five games, and that one of the touchdowns they've scored came on a kickoff return.

Those team totals are just a part of the plethora of props that are available through <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/bas"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>, which makes your Monday Night Football viewing a whole lot more fun.......

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers feel they have their best chance since the days under Jon Gruden to get to the Super Bowl. And that hope revolves around Tom Brady. The Los Angeles Rams were in the Super Bowl just two years ago and are only a half-game behind Seattle in the NFC West.

These teams will clash on Monday Night Football, starting at 8:15 PM ET at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.
<h3><strong>LOS ANGELES RAMS (6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS) at TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (7-3 SU, 5-4-1 ATS), 8:15 PM ET (Monday - ESPN)</strong></h3>
<h4><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline">BetOnline</a> Monday Night Football Odds</strong></h4>
<h4><strong>Tampa Bay Bucs -4 (-115)</strong>
<strong>Los Angeles Rams +4 (-105)</strong></h4>
<h4><strong>Over 48 Points -110</strong>
<strong>Under 48 Points -110</strong></h4>

The Bucs had great receivers last season, and Jameis Winston joined a short list of NFL quarterbacks to throw for 5000 yards. But it was no secret that his 30 interceptions held this team back.

What Bruce Arians was looking for was someone who could exhibit some more control and avoid mistakes, and Brady has been better, certainly, in that department (only 7 INT's).

He has been a model of efficiency doing what he does, which is to throw the short passes and let the receivers make something happen. Or so it seems. He is actually sixth in the league in Intended Air Yards Per Attempt at 8.7. However, he has averaged just 10.8 yards per completion, and he hasn't been that low since the 2002 season (i.e,, very early in his career). The fact is, the way things have gone down, his receivers have averaged only 4.1 yards per catch after a completion.

How low is that. Well, let's use some perspective. Only four starting quarterbacks in the league (who qualify in the category) are lower. His former understudy in New England, Jimmy Garoppolo, has dwarfed his figure in his six starts with 7.6. Jared Goff is at 6.1.

And Brady has completed just one of his 13 passes that have gone 20 or more yards down the field in the last three games. So there are actually a few things to work on.

And a few things a very good defense can exploit. You don't want to go into a game with the Rams having limitations. On an overall basis, they have permitted fewer yards and points per drive than anyone. They have allowed just 4.8 yards per play. They have yielded just 5.2 net yards per pass attempt (factoring in sack yardage). They have forced three-and-outs 26.8% of the time.

Brady has not been pressured a whole lot (just 17.3% of dropbacks), but that figure may ramp up here. The Rams sacked Russell Wilson six times last week, and they may be able to bring the kind of heat that will fluster him, in the person of Aaron Donald, who has the ability to come right down the middle and take Brady out of the pocket. The QB knows what he is facing. "Aaron Donald is as good as there is to probably have ever played in the National Football League on the defensive line," he says.

<a href="https://record.commissionkings.ag/_SwFIINNFoTmu11z-n_bVh2Nd7ZgqdRLk/1/"><strong>BetOnline</strong> </a>patrons recall that Brady faced the Rams and their defense two years ago in the Super Bowl. But that defense was a lot different. For one thing, it was "coordinated" by Wade Phillips, who had Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib at the corners.

The resurgence of the Rams' stop unit has been led by Brandon Staley, the dynamic first-year coordinator who just four years ago was the D-coordinator for Division III John Carroll University. He spent three years at the feet of defensive whiz Vic Fangio at Chicago and Denver. So you know he's coming with some funky coverages to junk up an offense.

And he made a reach and gave a chance to Darious Williams, an undrafted corner out of UAB who actually stuck around waiting for the program to be re-established after it had been shut down. And Williams, in the words of his partner Jalen Ramsey, is on his way to being an All-Pro.

Brady and the Tampa Bay offense have been slowed down considerably by the likes of New Orleans and Chicago, and the Rams have the capability to do the same. His best hope might be to continue to get great work out of Rodney Jones, who has literally kept Leonard Fournette out of the starting lineup with his Pro Bowl-caliber season (730 yards, 5.1 ypc). Last week against Carolina, he had 192 yards, which included an electric 98-yard run.

Speaking of the run game, that could hold the key for the Rams as well. And we say that because the philosophy of coach Sean McVay is to utilize play action, to the extent that Goff has gone that route more than any other NFL quarterback. And hey, that's a reason he has been pressured only 15.7% of the time.

There's no Todd Gurley this season. But the Rams have gotten nice results out of Darrell Henderson (486 yards) and Malcolm Brown (347 yards). The offensive line is healthier than it was last year, and the result has been a #1 ranking in Adjusted Line Yards per attempt.

But they will meet some resistance here, as the Bucs are leading the NFL in yielding just 3.3 yards a carry. If you can get Goff "off his game," you've got a real chance to make him look ordinary, and along those lines it should be mentioned that Tampa Bay has forced turnovers on 15.5% of its defensive drives.

The offenses are potent. But it would not surprise me to see a game where defenses really got in the way. In fact, this matchup evidence dictates that. So we'll go UNDER the total on Monday night.

Long Beach State Beach vs San Francisco Dons NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/13/24

Muirfield Village is so nice, they’ll play it twice. This week’s Workday Charity Open and next week’s Memorial Tournament will both take place in the Columbus suburb of Dublin, Ohio, as Jack Nicklaus’s home course hosts back-to-back events. The Workday Charity Open has a much smaller purse, but a lot of top players are on hand anyway for a paycheck at the most and a few reps in advance of next week’s tournament at the worst.

As always, we’re seeking out the best bargains in the DFS bin with this article. It isn’t hard to put a bunch of top players in your lineup, but it might be hard to figure out who to pick when your salary cap is running low.

Salaries are from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/draftkings"><strong>DraftKings</strong> </a>as we take a look at this week’s Workday Charity Open.

<strong>Corey Conners ($7,600) – </strong>The second time around at Muirfield Village should go better for Corey Conners. He finished 65th in the Memorial last year. Here, he’ll come off the shelf following two weeks away from the game. He was 21st at the RBC Heritage and 19th at the Charles Schwab Challenge, so he was in fine form before taking a couple of weeks off. The problem for Conners is almost always on the greens. This course is not nearly as penal for bad putters as most. Instead, we can look at how Conners is 18th in SG: Approach, 15th in SG: Off-the-Tee, and 23rd in SG: Tee-to-Green. A lot of people like Viktor Hovland this week because putting isn’t as important here. Conners is almost a poor man’s version of that this week.

<strong>Ian Poulter ($7,500) – </strong>I mean, come on. Ian Poulter is solid. Does he have a lot of upside? Well, that remains to be seen. He did post a triple-digit effort two events ago at the RBC Heritage. Poulter skipped last week’s tournament in Detroit after shooting 2-under in the Travelers Championship, but he’s likely going to give you a lot of points throughout the weekend because he’s made 10 of 11 cuts. Poulter hasn’t played here in forever, so the course will be pretty new for him, but this is a course that relies heavily on SG: Approach and Poulter is solidly in the top 100 in that department, along with sitting in the top-35 in SG: Around the Green and 30th in SG: Total.

<strong>Ryan Armour ($7,400) – </strong>The local angle worked pretty well for the most part with Brian Stuard last week in Detroit. Now we’ve got one with Ryan Armour in Columbus. The Ohio State Buckeye has finished 22nd and 23rd at Jack Nicklaus’s course the last two years. Armour is in fine form, with a fourth last week in the Rocket Mortgage Classic and a sixth in the Travelers. Armour, who buried an ace last week, has 45 birdies against 14 bogeys and a double in his last two events. He’s been racking up the SG: Approach the last two weeks and obviously feels comfortable at this course.

<strong>Hudson</strong><strong> Swafford ($6,600) – </strong>Alright, now we’ll get to the clearance aisle. Hudson Swafford was 30th last week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic and actually played relatively well at the Travelers, despite missing the cut. Swafford putted poorly in Detroit, but was sixth in SG: Approach and played really well tee-to-green. He’s definitely well down the board as far as price goes, but his iron play has been pretty solid for long stretches over the last couple of years.

<strong>Henrik Norlander ($6,500) – </strong>Henrik Norlander led the field in SG: Approach last week in Detroit and now has 32 birdies against four bogeys and a double over his last two events. Norlander has not putted well, but this course is less about putting and more about ball striking on the way there. This is his first visit to Muirfield Village because the Memorial is an invitational event, but 33-year-old Swede is playing some of the best golf of his career with two top-10 finishes this season. He ranks in the top 80 in SG: OTT and now top 80 in SG: APP. That’s not bad for this price point.
