Autoracing Betting Lines

12/05/2011 - Cornelius, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Michael Waltrip Racing revealed on Monday that Brian Pattie will serve as crew chief for Clint Bowyer's No.15 Toyota team in the Sprint Cup Series, beginning in 2012.

Pattie had served as Juan Pablo Montoya's crew chief at Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing from the middle of the 2008 season until the halfway point of this season. His first and only win so far in Sprint Cup came with Montoya in 2010 at Watkins Glen, NY. The two earned a spot in the championship Chase two years ago.

He also has 18 wins as a crew chief in the Nationwide Series.

"Brian is someone whose been on our radar for a very long time," team owner Michael Waltrip said in a team statement. "He brings a strong technical background, along with great leadership and Chase experience. We have high hopes for Brian, Clint and the 5-hour Energy team heading into 2012, and we think this is the perfect mix of talent, experience and leadership."

According to a news release from MWR, Pattie began his new role with the team last Thursday.

"Michael Waltrip Racing is an up-and-coming team making improvements every day," Pattie said. "When I started talking with Michael about opportunities at MWR, I really did my research and was impressed by their commitment to getting to the top of the sport. I feel like this is a great opportunity to join a new team with a new driver and start building something special. Clint's proven how good he is, and I know that will get even better in 2012."

Two months ago, Bowyer signed a three-year agreement with MWR to drive the team's No.15 car, starting next year. Bowyer drove for Richard Childress Racing in both the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series from 2004-11. He won the Nationwide title in '08.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
