Stewart Over Series Racing

Autoracing Betting Lines

Sonoma, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tony Stewart offered some simple advice to his fellow competitors during Sunday's Sprint Cup Series race at Infineon Raceway. "If they block, they are going to get dumped." Stewart and Brian Vickers wrote the next chapter in NASCAR's "boys, have at it" with their multiple altercations during the 110-lap race at the Northern California road course.

 

Stewart claimed that Vickers was blocking him and said he won't tolerate that kind of racing from him or anyone else.

 

"I wasn't blocking him," Vickers said. "That may have been his perception where he was sitting. [Kyle Busch] went off the racetrack in front of me. He was flying through the dirt. He was coming back on the racetrack, and I was trying to avoid him. The cars in front of me were slow, and I was in the inside of the guy in front of me. It's pretty early in the race to worry about blocking someone or wrecking someone."

 

Vickers did retaliated on lap 87.

 

This wasn't just payback, it was road rage. Careful boys, the State of California has stiff penalties for reckless driving.

 

NASCAR has not taken any action against either driver. In other words, officials let Stewart and Vickers have at it.

 

"We haven't had any problems in a long time," Vickers said. "Actually, I think the last real problem we had was turn 11 [at Sonoma] in 2004, funny enough. That was the last time we actually got together."

 

"The problem is turn 11," said Jeff Gordon, who finished second. "There's two places you can pass on this track, going into [turns] seven and 11. You couldn't really pass going into seven [Sunday]. It was so slick, you had to be so careful. So everybody gets to turn 11. Because you're racing one another, it seems like guys really block the inside lane and force guys to go around the outside lane. So it builds frustration. You get in a position where this is your only shot for that entire lap to try to make a pass.

 

It was a crazy affair at Sonoma, but it was fun to watch.

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.

New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.

His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.

HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.

The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.

RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.

First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.

The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.

These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.

New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
