NASCAR Power Rankings – Kenseth is HOT
Kenseth Might be This Year’s Kyle Busch Sometimes NASCAR drivers get hot. That might be the case with Matt Kenseth who won his second race in a row. Staying hot is another matter. Kenseth has suddenly become the new darling of NASCAR after taking home the Daytona 500 as a +2000 BetUS Sportsbook underdog and then winning the Auto Club 500 at +1000. Let’s take a look at…

US has star in Durant, rare summer off (AP)
Mike Krzyzewski wore the gold medal that he first chased two decades earlier in the world championship. Jerry Colangelo’s accessory wasn’t as flashy, but certainly as meaningful: Part of the net his players had cut down at the Sinan Erdem Dome was hung around his neck.

Group C games.
Slovenia (4) Draw (3.4) USA (2.15) Slovenia were dull as expected against Algeria. Game ended 1-0 to Slovenia after Algeria were reduced to 10 men over what must be stupid yellow card of the tournament and the Algeria keeper having a nightmare. Quite frankly
if it wasn’t for that goal keeping error they could still be playing now and it’d still be 0-0. The Algeria keeper must have been trying to make Rob Green feel better. The USA did its jobs against England. A goal keeping error allowed them to equalise but overall they kept the England quiet with some good offensive play of their own. As odds on second favourite to qualify
this is a game they must be expected to win. From what I saw of Slovenia they will do or it’ll be a 0-0. William Hill have gone top price on the USA win
its 2.15. England (1.29) Draw (6) Algeria (15) What can I say about England? They are infuriating to watch. The have some good players but as a team they don’t hold on to the ball enough. They can make pretty triangle passes in their own half but then they just lump it up field. Rooney and Heskey were disappointing. I can’t think of a single thing that Rooney did that was remarkable. Green got a lot of stick for letting the USA equalise via his error but what about the 1 on 1 Heskey had? I am pretty sure England are the only side that picks a striker who they don’t expect to score goals. You just knew he’d miss. If it was anyone else in the team practically they’d have put that chance away and the Green blunder would have been a side show. But now its all talk of who is going to start in goal. As I said earlier
Algeria/ Slovenia was dull. Neither team looked like scoring. I am sure that if it was 11 vs 11 that game would have been 0-0. Just looking at the stats and Algeria had 2 shots on target whereas Slovenia had 3. Barring another massive blunder I can’t see Algeria scoring here. England are just 1.29 to win this. I think they will but its not a great price. I’d much rather be going for the 1.8 at bluesquare for England to win to nil. Almost 3 times better odds for something which I think is just as likely.
Colts S Sanders to visit Dr. Andrews (AP)
The Indianapolis Colts don’t have a definitive answer on Bob Sanders yet. They might Wednesday. Two days after hurting his right elbow in a 34-24 loss at Houston
the Colts announced Sanders would meet with Dr. James Andrews to get a second opinion. Until now
the Colts have said nothing about the severity of the injury and even those seemingly in the know are uncertain about the prognosis.
Premiership betting Tips
21st – 23rd August 201021st August 2010 Arsenal (1.18) Draw (7.5) Blackpool (19) This should be the easiest game on the coupon this week. Can I really make a case for not backing a 1.18 bet? Well
Arsenal didn’t look very good against the 10 men of Liverpool. It was only a rare error from Reina that allowed Arsenal to get a point. The still are playing straight down the middle and don’t shoot enough. Blackpool currently sit second in the table. Wigan were terrible rather than Blackpool being any good. This brings back memories of Hull 2 years ago when they won 2-1. From a betting point of view I think I’ll skip this game. It could easily be a 3-0 win to Arsenal but I think there will be better times to back Arsenal at such short odds. Birmingham (2.3) Draw (3.3) Blackburn (3.4) Birmingham got a good draw at Sunderland last weekend. 2-0 down
they bought it back to 2-2 after Sunderland had a man sent off. Blackburn got a got win against Everton. That was at home though and last season Blackburn were terrible on the road. Birmingham had a terrific home record but a lot of those home points were draws. Not good for the punter. My initial thought was under 2.5 goals but looking back at the stats
both games last season ended up over and so did the 4 games before that. You can ge
t 2.54 before commission on Betfair for there to be over 2.5 goals. Everton (1.53) Draw (4.3) Wolverhampton (8) Everton were beat at Blackburn last week. It wasn’t only the defeat that was hard to stomach but the performance wasn’t that good either. They didn’t create enough chances. Wolves made some good signings this summer and it showed against Stoke. Wolves are looking more like a Premiership side now. Looking at the odds I’d have to go with Wolves. Everton can be slow starters in the league and 1.53 is way too short a price for them. Wolves are 8.0 at William Hill. Stoke (3.3) Draw (3.3) Tottenham (2.4) Stoke lost to Wolves 2-1 last weekend. Stoke’s strength has always been at home though. Last season their home form wasn’t the best but they still won more games than they lost. Spurs started off terribly against Young Boys in Switzerland. They were 3-0 down after about half an hour. They pulled it back to 3-2 though and are heavily favoured to go through to the Champions League proper. Last weekend
they should have really beaten Man City. If it wasn’t for the stunning performance of Joe Hart they would have done. For this game I can see no winner. The draw is 3.3 at Coral. West Bromwich (2.5) Draw (3.3) Sunderland (3) West Brom got a good thumping at Chelsea. Everyone was expecting them to lose but 6-0 is a pasting. Teams generally bounce back strongly after a heavy defeat. Sunderland were cruising when Cattermole got sent off and cost Sunderland the win. Away from home
Sunderland were pretty shocking last season though and I’m not willing to even consider backing them until I see some evidence they can play away from home. West Brom know that they must bounce back strong or their stay in the Premiership will be short. I’m willing to back them to bounce back here. They are 2.5 at Totesport. West Ham (2.3) Draw (3.3) Bolton (3.4) West Ham weren’t good in their 3-0 defeat at Villa last weekend. Avram Grant looks like he needs more time to get them playing together but is also resigned to the fact they are already in a relegation scrap
Bolton played well against Fulham in their 0-0 draw. Still
I think that at the end of the season Bolton may be down there with West Ham fighting it out with a handful of other clubs. In terms of betting
this game is tough. Two poor sides and where any result would not be a shocker. I’ll skip this one. Wigan (15) Draw (6) Chelsea (1.29) Wigan were shocking against Blackpool and lost 4-0. Bad times for Martinez and his Wigan side. Chelsea set the standard by beating West Brom 6-0. The last game of the season last year was Chelsea/ Wigan at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea won 8-0. This fixture did end up 3-1 though so there is some hope. I said before that after teams get thumped they usually come back strong but when your next game is Chelsea
I’ll pass on backing them. 1.29 is a low price on the away win though. I don’t think I’ve seen that in the Premiership before. I am going to go for Chelsea to win to nil. Ladbrokes have this at even money. 22nd August 2010 Newcastle United (3.1) Draw (3.4) Aston Villa (2.5) Newcastle were poor against Manchester United. I didn’t see anything that makes me think that they are a Premiership side. A 3-0 loss was actually pretty good as it could have been 6-0 and you’d have had no complaints. Odds on Villa drifted out last weekend when O’Neil left. From the performance they pulled out against West Ham it showed that they maybe better off without him. They have had a mid=-week game in Vienna which they drew 0-0 but I don’t think they took their full side. I didn’t recognise half the team so they should be fresh for this encounter. Its Villa all day long for me and 2.5 is a great price at Skybet. Fulham (6.5) Draw (4) Manchester United (1.62) First home game for Fulham under Mark Hughes. This fixture has been good to Fulham the last couple of years. 2 years ago Paul Scholes got sent off and Fulham won 2-0 and last year Man U had only one fit defender and lost 3-0. I get the feeling they’d
be happy with a draw this season though. Man U have looked great. If only Rooney could get his scoring boots back. Berbatov has stepped up this season and is actually playing as part of the team. I don’t like the 1.62 on the Man U win but I think they will win this. A bit too short considering Fulham’s home record but I will still back Man U. Its 1.62 at Totesport. 23rd August 2010 Manchester City (2.4) Draw (3.25) Liverpool (3.3) Both teams had difficult games to start off the season. Man City really should have lost at Spurs. They didn’t really look like a team that has gelled yet or have got the first team sorted. Liverpool should have beaten Arsenal last weekend even though they played the second half with 10 men. Liverpool were shocking away from home last season so I am not too keen on tipping them. This looks like one of those games that is destined to end up in a 1-1 draw. The draw is 3.25 at most Bookmakers .
