Bank of America Roval 400 Odds, Picks, Predictions: Dominant Elliot Leads List of Favorites

Four more playoff drivers will end their championship run after this race. Find out who we like to win with our Bank of America Roval 400 picks.

With his win at Talladega last week, Chase Elliott has locked himself into the next round of the NASCAR playoffs. This makes him even more dangerous on a track - and track style - he's known to dominate. He will have to fend off 11 other drivers, though, who would love to knock him off his throne and punch their ticket to the next round of the NASCAR playoffs. 

Here are our picks for the Bank of America Roval 400 based on the odds at our top-rated sportsbooks.

Who Will Win the Bank of America Roval 400?

Elliott (+500)

Unsurprisingly, Chase Elliott sits atop the list of favorites to win at a road course. His seven career wins on this track style are the third-most all time. He secured two of those wins on this track in the 2019 and 2020 seasons. Elliott is averaging a fifth-place finish in his four career starts on the Charlotte Roval.

The No. 9 has yet to take home a checkered flag on a road track this season. However, he has four top-10 finishes in the five road races. Elliott did manage a second-place outing back in July at Road America. 

Last season, a lap-55 tussle with Kevin Harvick caused Elliott to settle for a 12th-place finish here. Coming off the momentum of a win last week at Talladega, he no longer needs to worry about points and can focus solely on winning this race. 

Larson (+800)

Though not as successful as his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Kyle Larson has become a competent road racer himself. In his career, he is averaging a 13.9-place finish on road courses. He has made 14 of his 26 such starts as the driver of the No. 42 car.

Larson's best finish in that car was fourth place at Watkins Glen. Since taking the wheel of the No. 5 car, he has gone on to win twice at the Glen and once at Sonoma, as well as a win on the Charlotte Roval. That latter victory came last season and was the first of a three-race win streak for Larson. 

His inconsistencies this season have also translated into his road-course finishes. A crash took him out of contention to win at COTA, pit strategy cost him a shot at winning in Sonoma, and he had a solid third-place outing at Road America only to wreck himself out the Indy Road Course.

Allmendinger (+1200)

A.J. Allmendinger will enter the Charlotte Roval riding the strength of three straight top-10 finishes on road tracks in the Cup Series. This includes finishing second to Larson at Watkins Glen in August.

In his 31 career starts in the major circuit, Allmendinger is averaging a 16th-place finish on road courses. He has 15 top-10 finishes in that span with wins at Watkins Glen and the Indy Road Course. The best finish in his two starts on this track was seventh place in 2018.

As an Xfinity driver, Allmendinger has won three straight races on the Charlotte Roval. He is enjoying success in both series recently. He’s on a 10-race top-10 streak in the Xfinity series, including two wins. He's also finished inside the top 10 in the last three Cup races in which he's participated.
