THE PLAY: Both Teams to Score NO -125
FIFA WC - Tunisia at Sweden
Venue: Estadio BBVA (Monterrey, MX)
Play Thoughts: Opener for Group F which also has Netherlands and Japan in it. The statistical data heading into this one suggests a low scoring fixture and 1 goal might be enough here. Not much can be taken from the two friendlies either team have played but Tunisia did go scoreless in losses to European sides Belgium and Austria while Sweden had a loss and draw to Norway and Greece. With important fixtures ahead for Sweden against Netherlands and Japan the focus should be on avoiding a misstep here and normally smaller nations in opening round games look to defend first. Furthermore, Tunisia are traditionally one of Africa's stronger defensive sides and did qualify for this World Cup without conceding a goal.
The play is Both Teams to Score NO -125

THE PLAY: Switzerland -1.75 (-114)
FIFA WC - Switzerland at Qatar
Venue Levi's Stadium (Santa Clara, California)
Game Thoughts: A group B match up here and there's no initial data that suggests Qatar are a live dog. Swiss have been a reliable side in opening fixtures of World Cups going unbeaten in 6 (3 wins, 3 draws). Qatar have only participated in 1 World Cup and that was as the host nation in 2022 where they had an automatic berth. They lost all 3 group matches, losing each by 2 goals and it was a much easier qualifying path to this World Cup unlike a tough European qualifying route that the Swiss took but one that saw them go unbeaten at 4-2-0 with a 14-2 goal differential.
The play is Switzerland -1.75 -114 (Split line of -1.5 and -2.0)

THE PLAY: Canada -124
FIFA WC - Bosnia & Herzegovina at Canada
Venue: Toronto Field, Toronto (Known as BMO Field during the MLS season)
Game Thoughts: I'll be attending this game on Friday and as far as excitement goes this may not be the best of the 3 opening games for the host nations of Mexico, USA, and Canada. Canada does come in with a higher ranking and this price would likely be 20 cents higher if not for a couple omissions to the starting lineup as Alphonso Davies won't be available for the opener but should play Match Day 2 & 3 and defender Moises Bombito has been replaced on the team due to concerns he hasn't fully recovered from an 8 month injury. Canada will play a compact style game that makes them very tough to break down. There's plenty of scoring options with David, Larin, Buchanan (all of which are playing for European sides) and a solid midfield. Bosnia made it through via a playoff and penalty kicks wins over Wales and Italy but haven't quite shown the ability to consistently put pressure on backlines. There shouldn't be much scoring in this one and a likely 1-0, 2-0 final.
The play is Canada -124

THE PLAY: Mexico Team Total Over +1.5 (-144)
FIFA WC - South Africa at Mexico
Game Thoughts: This is the opener of the 2026 World Cup on Thursday at 3PM and historically host nations have fared well. This World Cup has 3 host nations (Mexico, USA, Canada) but this is the official opener and only once in 16 has a host nation lost (2022 Qatar losing 2-0 to Ecuador). 10-5-1 (93.8% unbeaten rate) is the current number and in 9 of those 10 wins the host nation has scored at least 2 goals. Mexico have the likeliness amongst the 3 host nations of running up a scoreline. We'll take the team total here.
The play is Mexico Team Total Over 1.5 -144
