How will the United States Men’s National Team (USMNT) start off its Copa América Tournament?

FOX sports Wagering Expert Chris “The Bear” Fallica sees the Stars and Stripes picking up a win, and is willing to bet on it.

Fallica joined Stu Holden to discuss the team’s first match against Bolivia (kickoff at 6 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX sports app).

The USMNT is currently a huge -500 favorite to win the match, with Bolivia sitting at +1300 to win.

To put that into simple terms, you would have to bet $500 on the USA to win to pocket $100. On the flip side, if you bet $100 on Bolivia to pull a shocker and the team does, you would make $1300.

Let’s dive into “The Bear’s” analysis on how he sees the game playing out from a betting perspective.

“It’s a perfect opportunity for the US to get the COPA off on the right foot, as they face a team thats ranked 84th,” Fallica said. “Nothing other than a 2-0, clean win would really be expected here.

“I laid a goal and a half with the USA and see them keeping a clean sheet. You can get that bet at +120.”

PICK: USA -1.5 + KEEP A CLEAN SHEET (+120)

As for the futures market, Lionel Messi and Argentina are the pre-tournament betting favorites, with Brazil right on its heels. 

FOX sports‘ Patrick Everson wrote that the USA winning it all would be a good result for a certain sportsbook.
