⚽ The Reign in Spain
World Cup favorite France is already through to the semifinals.
Is Spain next?
Today’s Quarterfinal (Circa odds to advance):
4 p.m. ET
Spain (-320) vs. Belgium (+265)
Nigel Seeley and Alex Blowers both expect Spain to advance, but they’re taking different paths to the betting window.
Nigel believes Spain’s edge starts in the middle of the pitch.
“One thing I have consistently said before and throughout this tournament is that the World Cup will be won in midfield, and I think that is where Spain have a huge advantage.”
👉 Nigel’s Best Bet →
Alex went through his analysis and then went with this gut.
“The obvious play here is Spain Win to Zero at +185. But my gut is telling me to stay away from it.”

Thursday Postscript: France advanced with a 2-0 victory over Morocco. Alex cashed his parlay (France ML & Under 3.5), while Nigel’s Both Teams To Score wager came up short.

🥊 Before You Bet McGregor…
If you’re still considering a wager on Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway, you may want to wait a few hours.
The official UFC 329 weigh-ins take place Friday morning and could answer one of the biggest questions of fight week.
Earlier this week, VSiN analyst Lou Finocchiaro predicted McGregor would miss the 170-pound limit.

Meanwhile, First Strike co-host Rob Moreno says his betting model struggles to project a fighter returning after a five-year layoff — which led him to clearer opportunities on the card.

🌭 Gill Actually Counted The Hot Dogs
Remember last weekend’s Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest bad beat?
Miki Sudo appeared to finish with 33 hot dogs before an official recount pushed her total to 38.75—turning the Under into an Over after the closing total landed at 38.5.
Gill Alexander decided to watch the isolated camera angle.
And then he did some more digging.

🎾 Zach Is Getting Creative
Zach Cohen is holding a +900 pre-tournament ticket on Novak Djokovic to win Wimbledon.
The problem?
Djokovic (+360) now faces Jannik Sinner (-445) in Friday’s semifinal.
“This just feels like a brutal spot for Djokovic, even with this tournament being played in his ideal conditions.”
Rather than simply backing Sinner, Zach found a more creative way to attack the match.
👉 Sinner vs. Djokovic preview →
The day’s first semifinal begins at 8:30 a.m. ET when Alexander Zverev (-650) meets Arthur Fery (+490).
