Prediction

USA 2, Qatar 1

Money line (ML)

BET on USA (-115) as it’s the deeper and more talented side. While D Walker Zimmerman is not with the team due to a hamstring injury, the USMNT has not been heavily impacted by his absence.

It has given up just one goal so far this tournament. While Jamaica was stronger in the back than up top, it was still a capable opponent the USMNT handled well.

Qatar isn’t at the same level as Jamaica and looked flawed in its match with El Salvador. Despite dominating offense, USA should be able to get the job done.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the OVER 2.5 (+100) as Qatar should be able to get on the board. Assuming USA still pulls it out in regular time, the Over would hit.

F Almoez Ali, who scored twice against El Salvador, has been terrific in the Gold Cup for Qatar. On the other side, Orlando City F Daryl Dike has played well.

The two teams have combined for 21 goals scored through their eight games in the tournament. As an even-money bet, the Over is the way to go as Qatar should open the game up for it to be a scoring-heavy match.

Qatar hit the Over 2.5 in three of four matches while the USA has hit it once through four games.

Summer Olympics Women’s Basketball: USA vs. Japan odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s USA vs. Japan odds and lines, with Summer Olympics Women’s Basketball picks, tips and best bets.

In Summer Olympics Women’s Basketball action Friday, USA and Japan play in a 12:40 a.m. ET tip-off at Saitama Super Arena. Below, we preview the USA vs. Japan odds and lines, and make our best Summer Olympics bets, picks and predictions.

Team USA wasn’t terribly impressive in its first game of group play Tuesday, squeaking by Nigeria 81-72. It wasn’t even close to covering the big 30.5-point spread, as the Americans were sloppy with 25 turnovers.

It wasn’t all bad, as Las Vegas Aces standout F A’ja Wilson had a double-double in her Olympic Games debut, posting a team-best 19 points with 13 rebounds, helping head coach Dawn Staley to her first win in the Olympics.

Host-nation Japan snuck by France 74-70, with three scorers in double digits. G Saki Hiyashi led the way with 12 points off the bench, including three triples.

USA vs. Japan: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

USA 97, Japan 71

Money line (ML)

USA (-10000) is an overwhelming favorite. In fact, you would need to risk $100 to win a mere $1. You cannot do that.

AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

USA -20.5 (-105) is a great play in its second group play game against the undersized Japan.

The Americans really struggled with turnovers and looked a bit rusty against Promise Amukamara and Nigeria, but they’ll right the ship and blow past the Japanese Thursday.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 161.5 (-115) is the best play on the board, as the Americans should flirt with triple digits against the smaller side.

After a shaky start in its first game, USA will knock off the rust and won’t take its foot off the gas in this one, looking to make a statement similar to how the men’s side recovered in Game 2 in their pool.

Summer Olympics Men’s Basketball: Iran vs. USA odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s Iran vs. USA odds and lines, with Summer Olympics Men’s Basketball picks, tips and best bets.

In Summer Olympics Men’s Basketball action Wednesday, Iran and USA play in a 12:40 a.m. ET tip-off at Saitama Super Arena. Below, we preview the Iran vs. USA odds and lines, and make our best Summer Olympics bets, picks and predictions.

Iran heads into this one as a decisive underdog, but it has some size. Former Memphis Grizzlies and Phoenix Suns pivot Hamed Haddadi, the 7-foot-2 center, gives them a formidable force inside, even at 36 years old.

C Aaron Geramipoor stands 7-foot and PF Michael Rostampour is 6-foot-11. So size isn’t a problem for Iran. Youth will be served with G Mohammadsina Vahedi at just 20 years of age. Iran is still unlikely to give the much-maligned American side much trouble.

USA will be angry after losing to France in the opening group game, and poor Iran will be the lightning rod as the Americans look to rebound figuratively, and literally.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 8:10 a.m. ET.

Iran vs. USA: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

USA 107, Iran 63

Money line (ML)

There is no money line available for Team USA, and it wouldn’t be something you’d want to wager upon even if it were available. There would be no value.

You also can’t even think about Iran (+1600), regardless of how poorly USA played against France. Iran was dropped 84-78 in its opener against Czech Republic, and that was likely its best chance at a win in this tournament.

AVOID.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

USA -39.5 (-115) has likely been seeing all of the headlines and social media bashing after falling to France. This star-studded American side has the best players in the world, but it hasn’t had the best team in the world.

The lack of cohesiveness won’t be a problem against Iran, and if the USA doesn’t take out its frustrations in this one, and Iran manages to hang around, the criticism will be at a fever pitch.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 166.5 (-110) is the lean, as the USA has a good chance to hit the century mark if it’s able to live up to potential.

The Under connected in the opening game for the USA, while the Over connected in Iran’s narrow loss to the Czechs. The defense won’t offer much resistance against the Americans.

Summer Olympics Women’s Soccer: Australia vs. USA odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Tuesday’s Australia vs. USA odds and lines, with Summer Olympics Women’s Soccer picks, tips and best bets.

In Summer Olympics Women’s Soccer Group G action Tuesday, Australia and USA play in a 4 a.m. ET kickoff at Ibaraki Kashima Stadium. Below, we preview the Australia vs. USA odds and lines, and make our best Summer Olympics bets, picks and predictions.

Australia opened the tournament with a 2-1 win over rival New Zealand but was doubled up by group-topper Sweden by a 4-2 count Saturday. The Aussies enter with a minus-1 goal differential and are in danger of going home without an upset Tuesday.

Team USA opened with a disappointing 3-0 loss to Sweden but rebounded nicely with a 6-1 rout of New Zealand to get well in the goal-differential department. A win or a draw will be a good result for USA.

Prediction

USA 4, Australia 1

Money line (ML)

USA (-375) will cost you nearly four times your potential return, and that’s just too expensive and risky. USA’s loss to Sweden in the group-play opener should serve as a cautionary tale on why you should not bet heavy favorites, no matter how certain things appear.

Australia (+650) is also not worth the play, as the Matildas just haven’t been hitting on all cylinders at any point during this tournament.

AVOID, and look to the alternate line of USA 0:1 (-145) for a better value, with a small-unit wager on USA 0:2 (+155) also worth a roll of the dice.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 3.5 (-145) is a tad bit pricey, but we have had an average of 5.0 goals per game in USA’s two outings, including 4 total goals allowed. The Aussies have averaged 2.0 goals per match, with a total of 9 goals scored in its two matches.

Summer Olympics Women’s Basketball: Nigeria vs. USA odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Tuesday’s Nigeria vs. USA odds and lines, with Summer Olympics Women’s Basketball picks, tips and best bets.

In Summer Olympics Women’s Basketball action Tuesday, Nigeria and USA play in a 12:40 a.m. ET tip-off at Saitama Super Arena. Below, we preview the Nigeria vs. USA odds and lines, and make our best Summer Olympics bets, picks and predictions.

Nigeria played the United States in an exhibition tune-up game in Las Vegas July 18, and the Nigerians fell by a 93-62 score. As such, they’ll be heavy underdogs in Tuesday’s group play opener.

Team USA is led by five-time Olympians Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi, as well as WNBA standouts Brittney Griner and A’ja Wilson. It’s a star-studded roster which appears primed and ready to clean up against Nigeria, and the rest of the world.

Prediction

USA 90, Nigeria 61

Money line (ML)

The game is expected to be so lopsided that you cannot even bet Team USA on the money line, and it would be throwing money away backing Nigeria (+1600) for an upset. It isn’t happening.

AVOID.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

NIGERIA +30.5 (-120) lost by 31 points in the exhibition game in Vegas. As it stands, the books have set the line with a nearly identical number.

You can expect the African side to fall behind by quite a bit early on but chip away late as the USA takes its foot off the gas a bit. Nigeria will grab the backdoor cover.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 153.5 (-110) is the slight lean.

We had a total of 155 points in that Vegas exhibition, and that would have cashed the Over. Expect the nerves to be a little more on edge early on in this game, now that it is for real and no longer just a practice game.

CONCACAF Gold Cup: USA vs. Jamaica odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s USA vs. Jamaica odds and lines, with CONCACAF Gold Cup picks and predictions.

The CONCACAF Gold Cup continues Sunday with a quarterfinals matchup between USA and Jamaica with a 9:30 p.m. ET kickoff at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Below, we preview the USA vs. Jamaica odds and lines, and make our best CONCACAF Gold Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Team USA went a perfect 3-for-3 in group play, topping Haiti 1-0, then spanking Martinique 6-1 before easing by Canada 1-0 in the decisive match last Sunday.

Jamaica opened with a solid 2-0 victory over Suriname but was a tad bit shaky in a narrow 2-1 win over Guadeloupe. It ended up on the short end of a 1-0 loss to Costa Rica to finish second in the group.

Prediction

USA 2, Jamaica 0

Money line (ML)

USA (-225) is the play even though it’s a little more expensive than I generally care to play on a money line wager. However, the Reggae Boyz are up against it playing in Arlington against a pro-USA crowd which will give the Americans all the energy they need, and then some.

This will be a decisive effort for the home side, and I also like USA TO WIN TO NIL (+120).

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (-115) is a good play, as I expect Team USA to post the clean sheet. Jamaica didn’t impress me one bit during group play. In fact, I feel as though it has gotten sloppier as the tournament has gone on.

If there is a concern here, it is a late third goal in regular or stoppage time with Jamaica pinching up out of desperation.

Summer Olympics Men’s Basketball: France vs. USA odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s France vs. USA odds and lines, with Summer Olympics Men’s Basketball picks, tips and best bets.

In Summer Olympics Men’s Basketball action Sunday, France and USA play in an 8 a.m. ET tip-off at Saitama Super Arena. Below, we preview the France vs. USA odds and lines, and make our best Summer Olympics bets, picks and predictions.

France will not be overlooked by Team USA. While the current roster of Americans had nothing to do with it, the French dispatched the USA at the World Cup. Nicolas Batum, Evan Fournier and Rudy Gobert are all legit NBA talents and threats to give the Americans fits.

There seemed to be a lack of chemistry with the United States during exhibition play, as it fell to both Nigeria and Australia before eeking out a win over Spain prior to the Olympics. We’ll see if it can turn it on now that the games count for real.

France vs. USA: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

USA 92, France 83

Money line (ML)

USA (-700) will cost you seven times your potential return, and that’s extremely risky business given what we saw from the Americans leading up to the Olympics. It looked anything like a Dream Team, but more like a nightmare at times.

France is a tempting play at  +475, but you have to believe USA will turn it on now that the games matter.

AVOID.

PLAY: France vs. USA pick’em contest

Against the spread (ATS)

FRANCE +12.5 (-115) is the play , as Batum, Fournier and Gobert are legit NBA players who will give this team plenty of production. France should be able to keep this game within single digits.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 176.5 (-115) is the slight lean.

As mentioned above, France has some quality NBA bigs, led by Gobert, the NBA’s 2020-21 Defensive Player of the Year. This won’t be confused with a pre-shot clock era game, but the defense will still be good enough as these teams feel each other out early.

CONCACAF Gold Cup: Canada at USA odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Canada at USA odds and lines, with CONCACAF Gold Cup betting picks, tips and best bets.

As the Gold Cup’s Group Stage winds down, USA (2-0-0) will take on Canada (2-0-0). The match is scheduled to kick off at 5 p.m. ET, and will be held at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kan. Below, we preview the Canada vs. USA odds and lines, and make our best Gold Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Both nations have already advanced to the knockout round as both Group B opponents, Haiti and Martinique, stood no chance. This will be the first real test for each side.

The first pick in the MLS SuperDraft in 2015, Canada’s F Cyle Larin has been unstoppable scoring three goals in Canada’s first two games. MF Stephen Eustáquio has chipped in two goals as well.

Canada took down Haiti 4-1 and Martinique 4-1. They’ll be battling the USA this time, though. Atop of the division, USA had an unimpressive 1-0 victory over Haiti then blasted Martinique 6-1.

Orlando City F Daryl Dike has been the star for the USA so far, but can he contribute against a quality side? Can their defense hold up? Both questions will be answered in their last Group Stage match.

Prediction

USA 2, Canada 1

Money line (ML)

BET on USA (-150) as they’re the deeper and more talented side. Canada hasn’t played many quality opponents. A relatively young team with 13 MLS players on it, Canada has talent on their roster.

However, the USA is coming in with many of the top MLS players. They should have a chip on their shoulder knowing these games could be their route to playing more premier matches with their country.

Dropping 6 on Martinique with their opponent’s only goal being a penalty kick, USA’s defense has looked solid. As with Canada, they haven’t really been tested.

I’d put my money on that USA’s defense led by MLS Defender of the Year Walker Zimmerman. With Dike up top, they should be able to take care of business.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (-120) because, despite USA’s solid defensive play, they’ve taken on two subpar opponents. Haiti and Martinique never truly challenged the USA. Canada will.

As noted, they have a slew of MLS players and a few playing in Europe. Larin and Eustáquio should be able to pressure USA’s back line enough to get at least one in, especially considering how dominant they’ve looked through the first couple of games.

Considering USA is also scoring over three goals per game, I’d expect the Over to hit and at least three goals to be scored.

Haiti vs. USA odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Haiti vs. USA odds and lines, with CONCACAF Gold Cup betting picks, tips and best bets.

The CONCACAF Gold Cup continues Sunday, with USA taking on Haiti at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kan. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Haiti vs. USA odds and lines, and make our best CONCACAF Gold Cup bets, picks and predictions.

The USA isn’t bringing its best squad to the Gold Cup, but it is likely to be the favorite. F Daryl Dike will be a force forand this will be a trial run for the team looking to add to its pool of talent.

As for Haiti, it played two games this month, winning them by a combined score of 10-2. Prior to those two, Haiti lost back-to-back games to Canada, which is also in Group B.

Prediction

USA 3, Haiti 1

Money line (ML)

BET on USA TO WIN BOTH HALVES (-150) because it’s the better team and should get the job done.

With MF Paul Arriola and MF Kellyn Acosta, USA is going to have some experience on its side. That should be enough to get the job done.

It’s tough to examine this USA team, but it has the talent and experience in every position group with up-and-coming prospects. Haiti should put up some fight but not enough to put any pressure on the USA.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+110) as the goals should be flowing in this one. Haiti has shown an ability to put the ball in the back of the net over its last few matches.

While it’ll be taking on a much tougher USA side, Haiti should be able to manage at least 1 goal. F Duckens Nazon has scored 3 goals in Haiti’s last two matches.

USA F Gyasi Zardes should help his side accrue some goals.
