NASCAR Betting Odds: Carl Edwards Odds to Win 2012 Sprint Cup Series

After suffering a heartbreaking finish in the driver standings in 2011 Carl Edwards will be looking to be just a tiny bit better in 2012 as the start of the Sprint Cup Series season rapidly approaches.

Edwards ended up tied with Tony Stewart atop the Sprint Cup Series driver standings in 2011, but Stewart got the Cup championship on a tiebreaker after winning five races during the season; Edwards only visited Victory Lane once.

And Edwards also finished second to Stewart in last year's season-ending Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, which sealed his fate in the driver standings.

So what will Edwards' approach be for 2012? Probably more of the same, and hope for a little more luck – and a couple extra checkered flags – along the way. No driver on the Sprint Cup Series circuit was more consistent than Edwards in 2011, as he led the way with both 19 Top-5 finishes and 26 Top-10 results.

Edwards also collected the most prize money last season, winning over $8.4 million in his 36 starts. His lone victory came at the Kobalt Tools 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in March, although he also managed to win the annual All-Star Race.

The oddsmakers at Bovada Sportsbook also see value in the consistent Edwards for 2012 as he's listed second at 6/1 odds to win the Sprint Cup Series championship this season – only Jimmie Johnson at 5/1 odds is ahead of him, with Stewart set back at 8/1 odds.

Edwards is also second on the Daytona 500 odds right now, with a line of 12/1 to win the season-opening race on February 26. Johnson leads the way on that list at 10/1, with Stewart and Dale Earnhardt Jr. two of the drivers sitting with Edwards at 12/1.
