⚽ Round of 16 Almost Set
Just three spots remain in the World Cup Round of 16.

By the end of today, the pairings will be set with the next round starting Saturday.

Friday’s Round of 32 menu (Circa odds to advance):

2 p.m. ET
Australia (+115) vs. Egypt (-135)

6 p.m. ET
Argentina (-1950) vs. Cabo Verde (+1100)

9:30 p.m. ET
Colombia (-485) vs. Ghana (+385)

Nigel Seeley and Alex Blowers both landed on Colombia—but found different ways to attack the match.

Nigel likes the favorite.

“Colombia ticks every box in this clash, owning the edge in quality, form, chance creation and defensive solidity with Ghana likely forced to soak up pressure for long periods.”

Alex arrives at the same conclusion from a different angle.

“Given how committed Ghana manager Carlos Queiroz is to his style, the obvious angle here is backing the Under.”

Thursday Postscript: Spain’s 3-0 win meant Nigel and Alex both cashed again.

⚾ Greg’s Best Bets
Greg Peterson likes the Reds as a slight underdog behind Brady Singer, who has pitched much better lately than his season ERA indicates.

He also expects a lower-scoring game, with Cincinnati facing an Orioles offense that has been less productive away from home.

Greg’s Best Bets
Reds Moneyline (+110)
Under 10.5 Runs

Greg’s projections:
Reds -132
Total 9.4
