Power outruns Franchitti for Toronto win

Autoracing Betting Lines

07/18/2010 - Toronto, Canada (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Will Power from Team Penske claimed his fourth victory of the 2010 IZOD IndyCar Series season with an impressive performance in Sunday's Honda Indy Toronto.

Power passed pole sitter Justin Wilson for the lead just after a restart with 14 laps remaining. He then held off Dario Franchitti, who won last year's race on the streets of Toronto, by 1.28 seconds. All four of Power's wins this year have come on road/street courses. He won two weeks ago in Watkins Glen, NY.

The 29-year-old Australian driver also widened his lead in the championship standings to 42 points over Franchitti, the defending series title-holder.

Ryan Hunter-Reay finished third, while Tony Kanaan and Graham Rahal rounded out the top-five.

Danica Patrick took the sixth spot, and Wilson wound up seventh after a late- race spin.

The 85-lap race at Toronto featured several cautions for accidents, including ones for Helio Castroneves and Scott Dixon. Castroneves crashed on lap 22 and ended up finishing 24th. Dixon's wreck in the late-stages resulted in a 20th- place finish for the two-time series champion.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
