Top 2020 Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 predictions

For the 2020 Foxwoods Resort Casino 301, the model is high on Chase Elliott, even though he's a massive 12-1 long shot in the latest NASCAR at New Hampshire odds. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Elliott only has one win in a points race this season but ranks fifth in the standings with 630 points thanks to seven top-five performances. 

Elliott had an extremely strong run at New Hampshire in 2018, finishing fifth in a race he led 23 laps. Since finishing a disappointing 34th in his first race at New Hampshire in 2016, he's averaged just outside a top-10 finish at this one-mile course. With double-digit odds and a track record of being near the top of the leaderboard, Elliott is a strong choice for your 2020 NASCAR at New Hampshire bets on Sunday, according to the model. 

And a massive shocker: Kevin Harvick, the top Vegas favorite at 14-5, stumbles and doesn't make it to victory lane. There are far better values in this loaded field. Harvick has four wins in Loudon and has sprinted out to a 97-point lead in the 2020 NASCAR standings.

While he's riding a streak of six consecutive top-five finishes, he hasn't finished better than fourth in the last three races despite starting on the pole in Kansas last week. He's had 20 career top-10 finishes in 36 starts at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, but he's also finished outside the top 20 on 10 occasions.

How to make 2020 Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 picks
