Autoracing Betting Lines

06/20/2010 - Newton, IA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tony Kanaan snapped a 34-race winless drought in the IZOD IndyCar Series by taking Sunday's Iowa Corn Indy 250 at Iowa Speedway.

Kanaan, the 2004 series champion, passed Helio Castroneves with 10 laps remaining and then held off Castroneves at the finish by 4.2 seconds. It was Kanaan's 14th career IndyCar win, but his first since June 2008 at Richmond.

E.J. Viso finished a career-best third, while Ryan Briscoe and Will Power, the pole sitter, rounded out the top-five.

Power now holds an 11-point lead over Scott Dixon, who finished sixth. Dario Franchitti, who won at Iowa in 2007 and '09, suffered a gear-box issue late in the race and wound up finishing 18th. The defending series champion fell 14 points behind Power.

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.
