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.

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.
