Autoracing Betting Lines
11/13/2011 - Avondale, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kasey Kahne snapped a two-year winless streak by taking the Kobalt Tools 500, while Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart maintained their very tight points battle for the Sprint Cup Series championship after Sunday's race at Phoenix International Raceway.
Edwards' second-place finish couple with a third-place run for Stewart allowed Edwards to keep his three-point lead over Stewart heading into next weekend's season-finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Kahne, in his first and only year with Red Bull Racing, took the lead after a round of green-flag pit stops concluded with 13 laps remaining. He beat Edwards to the finish line by 0.8 seconds for his 12th career Sprint Cup win but his first since September 2009 at Atlanta (81 races ago). Kahne is moving over to Hendrick Motorsports to drive the No.5 car in place of Mark Martin next year.
Jeff Burton and Stewart's teammate, Ryan Newman, completed the top-five.
Edwards and Stewart are the only drivers who remain mathematically eligible for the series championship. Jimmie Johnson's bid for a sixth straight title officially ended with his 14th-place finish. Johnson is now 68 points out of the lead.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
