BRAD KESELOWSKI (+800) is the best bet among non-Toyota cars. The Penske Racing driver hasn’t won at Pocono since the Good Sam RV Insurance 500 in August 2011, starting in a Dodge from the 13th position. While that was a while ago – and Dodge is no longer associated with the sport – he has been eighth or better in eight of his past nine starts with three runner-up finishes and one DNF.
Pocono Raceway long-shot bets
WILLIAM BYRON (+2000) has just four Cup starts under his belt at the three-turn Pennsylvania track. He has been a quick study, however, finishing sixth in the July ’18 race, ninth in the June ’19 run and fourth in the July ’19 outing. Overall, he has a 9.3 AFP in his four Cup starts, making him worth a small-unit investment.
ERIK JONES (+2000) is another young driver who has really turned heads in the early part of his career. In six Pocono starts he has been eighth or better in five of the outings, including three finishes inside the top 3. Jones was a runner-up last July to his teammate Hamlin, and his 8.3 AFP over the past 10 Pocono races is the best among all active drivers.

Sunday’s Super Bowl is technically the Chiefs versus the Buccaneers; for historians, it’s really Tom Brady vs. Patrick Mahomes.
The odds-makers at www.SportsBettingDime.com have posted a list of 40 different odds and props for the two signal callers.
Some of Brady’s most intriguing props are: odds to score a TD (+350), MVP (+250), Brady shown before Mahomes during the National Anthem (-150) and Brady’s odds to lead the Bucs to a score on the first drive (+350) – amazingly Brady has never put up points in an opening drive in any of his nine Super Bowl appearances.
For Mahomes fans, highlights include: longest pass 26.5 yards, 11.5 rushing yards, announcers mention his father Pat before Brady’s wife Giselle (+200), and Tony Romo accidentally calling him Pat (+1500.)
Here’s a look at 40 Brady/Mahomes props from oddsmakers at @SBD (https://twitter.com/SBD).
