Ambrose on pole at Memphis

Autoracing Betting Lines

10/27/2007 - Memphis, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Marcos Ambrose captured the pole for Saturday afternoon's Sam's Town 250 Busch Series race at the Memphis Motorsports Park. The No.59 Ford driver circled the 0.750-mile oval in 22.901 seconds (117.899 m.p.h.).

The pole victory was the first Ambrose's Busch career. He did win a Craftsman Truck Series pole at Kentucky last year.

Starting with Ambrose on the front row will be David Reutimann, who posted a time of 22.933 seconds.

IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti (23.013) and Jason Leffler (23.063) will make up row two.

Carl Edwards had to put the champagne on ice last week when an incident on lap 133 collected him and three others. It was the first time in Edwards' Busch Series career that he had back-to-back DNFs (did not finish).

Not to fear however, Edwards still holds a commanding 638-point lead over second-place Reutimann and 753 points over Kevin Harvick, the third-place driver and defending series champion.

Edwards can clinch the crown by leaving Memphis with a lead of 585 points or more over the second-place driver in the point standings.

The season's second half hasn't been kind to Edwards. In the first 15 races of the year, he posted four wins, 11 top-fives and 13 top-10s. However, in the 16 races since, he has failed to earn even one win and finished 20th or worse eight times. In fact, he has failed to finish on the lead lap in six of the last eight races.

Last year's race was won by Harvick, with Clint Bowyer and Edwards just behind.

The race is scheduled to drop the green flag at 3 p.m. (et).

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams

NFL Betting

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.

We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.

Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.

Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.

Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.

NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.

The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
