The #54 Monster Energy Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing won both races at the similarly designed Chicagoland Speedway and should have won the June race here at Kentucky. This is a "Stand Alone" race meaning there will be no Sprint Cup drivers in the field. Jones will have the dominant car tonight.
triple-dime bet 402 Arizona 3.5 (-115) vs 401 UCLA
Analysis: Arizona has covered five of the past six times it has hosted UCLA. Now it's the Wildcats' turn to beat the Bruins straight-up.
It's a triple revenge spot for Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez in his fourth season with the Wildcats. Arizona has knocked off six ranked foes during Rodriguez's tenure and is 4-0 ATS as a home 'dog.
The Wildcats have the offensive firepower and their defense gets a huge lift with the expected return of linebacker Scooby Wright, last year's Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year. He had missed the last two games because of a knee injury.
The jury still is out on UCLA freshman quarterback Josh Rosen, who threw three interceptions last week. This is his first Pac-12 road start.
Arizona quarterback Anu Solomon has been much more steady with a 10-to-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio compared to Rosen's 5-to-4 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Solomon has completed better than 68 percent of his throws. He can rely on Nick Wilson, one of the best running backs in the conference, and a deep crop of receivers.
The Wildcats rank among the top seven teams in the country in points, yards and rushing. They did pad their statistics by burying Northern Arizona last week, but were able to provide some rest to the their starters in the 64-point victory. So they should be fresh for this Pac-12 opener.
The timing is right, too, for the Wildcats as they catch UCLA without three of its defensive starters, including star linebacker Myles Jack. He suffered a season-ending knee injury in practice this week.
Note that at the time of this release there are some plus 3 1/2's available. If you can't find one, I would suggest buying, if you can, an extra half point as added insurance as I believe Arizona plus 3 1/2 in this spot is a powerful edge.
