One of the country's biggest sporting events takes place on Sunday, when the green flag drops on the 2022 Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway. Denny Hamlin is the 9-1 favorite in the latest 2022 Daytona 500 odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while Chase Elliot and Kyle Larson are 10-1. The green flag drops at 2:30 p.m. ET.

Before making any 2022 Daytona 500 picks, you NEED to see what SportsLine's Micah Roberts has to say. A former Vegas bookmaker, Roberts was the first to offer expanded NASCAR betting and now hands out NASCAR winners to his followers on SportsLine.

Roberts is the nation's premier NASCAR betting expert, and his top pick, Chase Elliott, won the Jockey Made in America 250 last season. He also correctly predicted the 2021 Coca-Cola 600 winner, hitting Kyle Larson's win at 11-2 odds. The previous week, he was on point at the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix, targeting Elliott as the winner at 8-5 odds. Anyone who has followed his picks has cashed tickets.

Now, Roberts has analyzed the field for Sunday's Daytona 500. We can tell you he's fading Larson, even though he is one of the top favorites at 10-1. In fact, Roberts says Larson barely cracks the top 20!

However, Roberts is high on a HUGE long shot who "usually has a great superspeedway car" and will start the season FAST! This driver is being underestimated by oddsmakers, and anyone who backs him could hit it BIG! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any picks.

So who wins the Daytona 500 2022? And which long shot is a MUST-BACK? ... Join SportsLine right now to see the full projected leaderboard for the 2022 Daytona 500, all from the nation's premier NASCAR betting expert!
