Welcome to another episode of the NASCAR Gambling Podcast on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network! Three days a week, Rod Villagomez and Cody Zeeb bring their love of NASCAR and their love of sports betting to you to help you set your bets for the weekend of NASCAR action. From the Craftsman Truck Series to the Xfinity Series, to the Cup Series, Rod and Cody have you covered.

Today, Rod and Cody break down the 2026 NASCAR Championship Favorites and give you their early odds. Will Tyler Reddick bounce back from a disappointing season and drive his way to a title this year? How well will Connor Zilisch do in his rookie season and is he worthy of being listed among the favorites to win it all? Are we in for a major shake up in the playoff format, if so, what does that mean for the early odds? Which former champion will add another trophy to his mantle? Can Ross Chastain contend for the 2026 title and is he priced correctly? We'll answer these questions and more on this week's episode.
