Group E

Brazil: Over 6.5 (7.63 projection)

Brazil are the favorite to win the entire tournament, per our numbers, as we give them a whopping 38.44% chance to win it all. As you'd expect, they're the clear favorites to top their group, as well. Group E isn't a cakewalk, but it's not overly difficult either for a team of their caliber.

Brazil have at least an 80% chance to win each individual game, and there's better than a 50% chance that they sweep all three and take 9 points. Even at 7.5, it would be wise to bet on Brazil, so if you can get the 6.5 line here, jump on it.

This is our favorite to win the entire tournament, and they should be too much for the likes of Costa Rica, Serbia and Switzerland.
