The team at Sports Chat Place likes Brad Keselowski in this year's GEICO 500 and points to his past success at Talladega as the main reason why. Keselowski has won this race three times before and has five career wins at Talladega Superspeedway.

The staff from TopBet is going with Joey Logano to defend his title this year, after winning the 2018 installment of the GEICO 500. It's also worth noting that Logano has finished no worse than fifth in his last seven appearances at this track.
