Kobalt 400 in Vegas........
Johnson +405 and Harvick +460 are the heavy favorites.
Johnson was strong last week in Atlanta turning in quite the performance and had a great set up in the latter stages of the race.
Harvick typically does well in Vegas. However I am looking to not back either.
I started working on this earlier with a different set of odds than what is available now and it has worked out in our favor.
The choices:
Dale Earnhardt Jr +900 Risking $22.50 To Win $202.50
Joey Logano +1050 Risking $19.50 To Win $204.75
Matt Kenseth +1150 Risking $17.50 To Win $201.25
Kasey Kahne +2100 Risking $9.60 To Win $201.60
Austin Dillon +8500 Risking $2.40 To Win $204.00
Even though EJR had a tough go yesterday in the Xfinity series I think he picked up valuable information. Logano has been on a tear to start the season and did finish second last year to Gordon. Kenseth and Kahne do well here and how can you not throw down $2.40 on Dillon after the performance yesterday. Granted the talent level is heads and shoulders above Xfinity today but this guy is going to breakout.......... At +8500 I'll take my chances....
The match up:
Two this week...........
Dale Earnhardt Jr #88* -120 vs Matt Kenseth #20
Dale Earnhardt Jr #88* +155 vs Kevin Harvick #4
Finding value with EJR early in the season. I think these odds are a steal. I know we will be rooting for Kenseth if EJR can't get the win spot but I truly believe the experience yesterday is going to make quite a difference.
I'll take the monster odds against Harvick even here in Las Vegas..........
