2025 Jack Link's 500 odds, NASCAR picks: Best bets for the Talladega Superspeedway race from proven racing expert
CBS Sports NASCAR writer Steven Taranto reveals his NASCAR picks to SportsLine for the 2025 Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday
Brad Keselowski has dominated at Talladega Superspeedway throughout his career and will try to extend that success when he takes part in the 2025 Jack Link's 500 on Sunday. The 41-year-old driver has posted six career wins at Talladega and placed second twice there in 2024. Nevertheless, Ryan Blaney is the +850 favorite, followed by Joey Logano (+1200) and Austin Cindric (+1300) in the latest 2025 Talladega NASCAR odds. Sunday's race is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. ET.
Before making any NASCAR at Darlington Raceway picks, you NEED to see what CBS Sports NASCAR writer Steven Taranto has to say.
Taranto, who moonlights as a sim racer and has 20 career wins in iRacing, is the lead NASCAR writer for CBSSports.com, and he chronicles stock car racing with the same thoroughness and passion that he's had since becoming a full-time race fan in 2001. He has an annual NASCAR media credential and also publishes a popular weekly NASCAR predictions column, famously calling Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez's breakthrough wins in 2022. Taranto was red-hot for SportsLine in 2024 as he nailed 17 winners, including 16-1 longshot William Byron at the Daytona 500 and 14-1 longshot Chase Elliott at Texas. Anybody following his NASCAR picks has seen HUGE returns!
For the 2025 Jack Link's 500, Taranto is high on William Byron (+1500). He also has a top-10 finish prop bet, with Ty Dillon earning his first top-10 finish of the year (+410). "Initially I had thought that Ty Dillon would make for an ideal longshot pick, but it seems like the oddsmakers were paying just as much attention to the way he ran in Daytona as I was," Taranto said. "Not only did Dillon have great single-car speed in qualifying, but he was a contender for the win in his Duel race and then clawed back from falling off the lead lap due to pit road problems to finish 14th."
Taranto has also identified three other drivers in his 2025 NASCAR Jack Link's 500 best bets. He's also high on a huge NASCAR longshot who's going off at over 70-1, potentially netting any backer a HUGE payday! You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see his picks before locking in any NASCAR picks of your own.
