2022 World Cup: Australia vs. Denmark odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Australia vs. Denmark odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Australia (1 win, 1 loss, 0 draws) battles Denmark (0-1-1) Wednesday in Group D with kickoff from Al Janoub Stadium set for 10 a.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Australia vs. Denmark odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

This will be the final group stage match for each side. Australia advances to the knockout stage with any points.

Denmark would advance if they beat Australia by more than Tunisia beats France, which assumes the group leader loses to the team currently in last place in the group. Nonetheless, France may rest most of their key pieces. In all reality, with a win, Denmark should be in.

Australia lost 4-1 to France to kick off the World Cup and then beat Tunisia 1-0. It didn’t necessarily dominate that game though as Tunisia had 5 more shots and 2 more on target with 59% possession.

Denmark, a side that has drastically disappointed, drew Tunisia despite having 4 more shots on target and 62% of the possession. Denmark lost to France 2-1 on Saturday. They sit 10th in FIFA’s world rankings with Australia 38th.

Prediction

Denmark 2, Australia 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Betting Denmark at (-190) doesn’t make much sense given how they have played, but in a similar fashion, Australia might have won but didn’t look dominant against Tunisia.

Having been clobbered by France as well, backing the underdog Aussies at (+550) isn’t suggested either. Play the total for value in this battle.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-110).

Denmark is 1-1 O/U this amount in 2 games, but in a 0-0 draw, they were still able to get 11 shots and 5 on frame. Denmark has had double-digit shots in both games.

Australia is also 1-1 O/U at this total, and they were dominated in possession by Tunisia, but still managed 9 shots. That type of play could be repeated, but if they allow Denmark 14 shots, chances are they concede a few goals.

Denmark has talent in their midfield with M Christian Eriksen and M Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, so possessing and getting into holes should be easy. Denmark has gone Over 2.5 in 6 of 10 games this calendar year.

Capitals at Canucks projected goalies

Darcy Kuemper (7-9-1, 2.60 GAA, .914 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Thatcher Demko (3-9-2, 3.81 GAA, .885 SV%)

Kuemper turned aside all 32 of the shots he faced in a 3-0 shutout victory against the visiting Calgary Flames Friday. He has won 2 straight starts after dropping the first 6 of 7 outings in November.

Demko allowed 3 goals on 35 shots in Sunday’s 4-3 OT win at San Jose. It was a rare win in November, as he is just 2-4-1 with a 3.56 GAA and .895 SV%, allowing 3 or more goals in 6 of his 7 starts this month.

Capitals at Canucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Capitals 5, Canucks 2

Moneyline

The CAPITALS (+105) are a solid play as short ‘dogs on the road. It comes down to goaltending, and Washington has a strong backstop, while Vancouver has been shaky for a good chunk of the season in between the pipes.

There is some risk here, as the Caps have won just 3 of the past 16 games on the road, but they are rested having last played Saturday. Washington is 8-3 in the past 11 games when playing on 2 days of rest.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Capitals +1.5 (-270) will cost you more than 2 1/2 times your potential return if you want some insurance and just cannot fathom a straight-up play on Washington. If you like the Caps, just play them straight up for a much better value.

AVOID.

Over/Under

OVER 6.5 (-105) is worth a look — but play it lightly.

Demko has been so giving for the Canucks, but the concern is Kuemper. When he is on his game, he doesn’t allow much, if anything at all.

The Under is 4-0 in the past 4 games overall for the Caps, too. However, the Over is 4-1 in the past 5 home games for the Canucks, while going 5-1 in the past 6 against Eastern Conference foes.

Syracuse at Illinois odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Syracuse at Illinois odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Syracuse Orange (3-3) and No. 17 Illinois Fighting Illini (5-1) meet Tuesday in Champaign as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Opening tip at the State Farm Center is at 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Syracuse vs. Illinois odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Syracuse has lost back-to-back close games. On Saturday, the favored-by-9.5 Orange were downed by Bryant 73-72 after losing 76-69 in overtime to St. John’s the game before. SU shot 39.1% from 3-point range in its first 4 games; it has shot just 22.5% in 2 games since.

The Fighting Illini lost 70-61 to No. 3 Virginia on Nov. 20, but bounced back Friday as a -32.5 favorite in a 92-59 win over Lindenwood. Fast-paced Illinois has scored over 85 points in 4 of 6 games.

Syracuse at Illinois picks and predictions

Prediction

Illinois 77, Syracuse 67

Moneyline

PASS. Unless you think Syracuse can win there there’s nothing here.

Against the spread

The Fighting Illini are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight-up win. This UI bunch is new: Only 3 players returned from last year’s team and none were starters. And their turnover rate is Syracuse’s way to staying within a dozen points, if not to victory. KenPom pegs Illinois’s turnover rate as 306th in the nation.

Look for Syracuse to leverage those miscues, its slower pace, and its unique 2-3 defense in keeping this game within a couple or 3 possessions for much of the way. In their last 5 Quadrant-1 games last season, the Orange logged 1 blowout loss (against Duke) and 4 losses of 12 points or closer.

BACK SYRACUSE +12.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Peg 3-happy Illinois as being due some regression in its shooting numbers both beyond and in front of the perimeter arc. UI has played a couple of slow teams (Virginia, Missouri-Kansas City) and SU has played a couple rabbit fives (Bryant, St. John’s). The combined record on the totals has the Under at 4-0.

TAKE THE UNDER 145.5 (-115).

Avalanche at Jets projected goalies

Alexandar Georgiev (10-2-1, 2.29 GAA, .933 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Connor Hellebuyck (10-5-1, 2.43 GAA, .925 SV%, 2 SO)

Georgiev has been rock-solid lately, winning each of his past 3 starts while allowing just 3 goals on 98 shots. He coughed up just 1 goal on 42 shots in a victory against the Dallas Stars on Saturday at home. Georgiev has a pair of victories on the road during the win streak, including a shutout in Washington Nov. 19.

Hellebuyck has won back-to-back outings, including a 7-2 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks last time out on Sunday. He has allowed 6 goals on 66 shots in the 2-game win streak. Hellebuyck was the goaltender of record in the 4-3 OT win in Denver against the Avs on Oct. 19, stopping 30 of the 33 shots he faced.

Avalanche at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 3, Avalanche 2

Moneyline

The JETS (+115) are worth a play as short ‘dogs on home ice. Winnipeg has been red-hot lately, averaging 4.3 goals per game (GPG) in the past 4 outings, and it is 6-1 across the past 7 games at home.

The Avalanche won’t be a pushover, obviously, but Colorado has lost 8 of its last 11 trips to Winnipeg. The home team is also 24-9 in the past 33 meetings in this series.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Jets +1.5 (-250) will cost you 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s just too expensive if you need insurance and can’t pull the trigger and play Winnipeg straight up.

AVOID.

Over/Under

UNDER 5.5 (+105) is worth a roll of the dice, especially since we have 2 top-notch goaltenders in action.

The Under is 6-1 in the past 7 games overall for the Avs while going a perfect 4-for-4 in the past 4 on the road.

While the Over has hit in 4 in a row for the Jets, the Under is 13-3-1 in their last 17 home games.

Islanders at Flyers projected goalies

Ilya Sorokin (10-5-0, 2.19 GAA, .933 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Carter Hart (6-5-4, 2.85 GAA, .915 SV%)

Sorokin has won 3 straight starts, including a shutout over the Edmonton Oilers Wednesday. Semyon Varlamov, not Sorokin, was between the pipes for the front end of the back-to-back against the Flyers. Sorokin is 7-2-0 with a 2.17 GAA and .933 SV% and 1 SO in 9 starts and 10 appearances in November.

Hart started out as a ball of fire in the first month, going 5-0-1 with a 2.31 GAA and .938 SV% in 6 October starts. It has been the complete opposite in 9 November outings, going 1-5-3 with a 3.22 GAA and .896 SV%.

Islanders at Flyers picks and predictions

Prediction

Islanders 4, Flyers 2

Moneyline

The Islanders (-200) are quite expensive, especially on the road, costing you 2 times your potential return. There is little value in a standalone wager like that, especially over the long term.

PASS.

Puck line/Against the spread

The ISLANDERS -1.5 (+125) on the puck line at plus money is a much better play, as 2 of their past 3 wins have been by 3 goals, and they have covered the puck line in 3 of the previous 4 outings.

The Flyers have dropped 7 of the 10 games during its winless skid by 2 or more goals. Until Philly shows signs of pulling out of its nosedive, keep fading it.

Over/Under

OVER 5.5 (-130) is worth playing lightly — but go with a half-unit play at most.

Philadelphia has allowed 4 or more goals in 2 straight, and in 9 of the 10 games during the team’s winless skid. It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that New York takes care of the Over on its own.

Warriors at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 129, Mavericks 110

Moneyline

PASS.

I expect the Warriors (-120) to win, but there is no need to pay the extra 10 cents on the ML when Golden State should win by margin. Bet the spread or the total instead.

Against the spread

BET WARRIORS -1.5 (-110).

The Mavericks will eventually stop being overvalued by the market and start to cover spreads, but they’re running into the Warriors at the wrong time. The Warriors are averaging 129.3 points in their last 4 games when Curry starts and are 2-0 straight up in their last 2 road games. Lay the points.

Over/Under

BET OVER 227.5 (-110).

The Warriors are the 2nd-highest scoring team in the league over the last 3 games, averaging 130.0 points per contest. The Over is 4-0 in the last 4 games that Curry has started, and I expect this trend to continue Tuesday in Dallas where the Over is 9-2 in the last 11 head-to-head meetings.
