Four drivers will make their ultimate bids for the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series Championship on Sunday. Two prominent drivers each from Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing have advanced to the Championship 4 Round at Phoenix Raceway, The green flag drops on the NASCAR Cup Series Championship 2021 at 3 p.m. ET. Two of the championship contenders are previous title-winners and two are trying to win the Cup championship for the first time. 

Before making any 2021 NASCAR Cup Series Championship picks, you NEED to see what SportsLine's Micah Roberts has to say. Roberts, a former Vegas bookmaker, 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 this season.

He also correctly predicted the Coca-Cola 600 winner, hitting 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. Now, Roberts has analyzed Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Championship starting grid.

Kyle Larson, listed at 6-5 in the latest NASCAR Cup Series Championship odds from Caesars Sportsbook, is looking to finish off an outstanding career season with his first Cup title. He has a career-high and series-leading nine wins this year and three in the postseason. He is the only driver in the Championship 4 to have never won at Phoenix. Chase Elliott, listed at 7-2, is looking to become the first driver since 2010 to win consecutive Cup championships. In 2020, Elliott won in the season finale at Phoenix from the rear of the field.

We can tell you Roberts is not viewing Larson as the top pick among the championship contenders, even though Larson entered the playoffs as the No. 1 seed and won the regular season title in impressive fashion. In fact, he says Larson barely cracks his top five!

Instead, Roberts is high on a huge underdog who delivered a very strong finish in his last Phoenix start! This driver is being underestimated by oddsmakers, and anyone who bets on him could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any picks.
