Michigan Matchups

This new tire thing may have totally ed my early picks.  I have some picks this morning at 5dimes, but the odds are already changing.

edwards -125 over stewart (1 unit)
biffle -115 over hamlin (2 units)
jr -115 over kyle (3 units)
newman under 12.5 (2 units)

That jr/kyle line isn't right.  I don't see anything that would lead anyone to believe that jr shouldn't be a big favorite over kyle.  Jr has been faster every practice, and qualifying.  Could be the "Hiro Matsushita" line of the day  (my nickname for the worse line of the week).  Not guaranteed to win, but still not the right odds posted by the books.

Last week I used this strategy and it worked.  I put 1 unit on hendricks cars to win, and 1 on gibbs cars to win, both around +200.

This week I took 1 unit roush cars +300, and 1 unit hendricks cars +240.  Obviously 1 will lose, but if roush or hendricks win we turn a profit.

thx

Didn't have the info on Newman starting in the back before I made the play under 12.5...but I still think I'm going to sit tight on it.  He was great here last year, and I think his team will get him up there to run inside the top 12.

bol buddy

Debated about it because of the odds all morning, but I'll play Logano -155 over Kurt for 2 units.

I was surprised to see at Kyle at 8-1 this morning, too. Have a feeling he's gonna run really strong today. Someone seems to know something.

Good luck today, btw. 

    truex up to -150 over newman    think brad finishing over 8th might b a gift 2day any thoughts?

He was terrible in qualifying, and then couldn't break the top 20 in tire testing.  They might have some problems. 

I can't get a good read on Brad yet this year.  I don't think he will finish in the top 8, but -145 is a lot to lay...plus that team is sneaky with fuel strategy and pit stops. 

GL, laid the wood on Joey as well in that match up

The one time I get behind Logano...he wrecks and I get to watch Kurt Busch limp around the track with his car duct taped together with my $ in his pocket. 

Lost -4 units today after all was said and done.  Definitely wasn't my week.  I didn't like the early lines with hamlin, bif, kenseth +money against Johnson.  I only took hamlin...that backfired.  Logano clearly had the better than Kurt...bad luck with the wreck.  And Newman continues to kill me on races where I like to back him.  Oh well, when it's not your week, it's not your week.  +10 units so far this year.

Congrats on all you JR backers...hope you made  back that he's cost everyone the last 4 years!!!
