Group A
The Mexico PK line gives me a security blanket to be satisfied with the draw, but I think Miguel Herrera's club look to be aggressive after Croatia's heartbreaking defeat today. Cameroon score, but Mexico gets the winner and wins confidently.
Mexico -1/2 (+110)
Group B
The Spain/Netherlands matchup will be the deciding factor in this group. The last time these two countries met was the 2010 World Cup final, so I expect reputations and egos to emerge as a large part in this game. When they are healthy, Spain has the most talented midfield in the world, even on another continent. Netherlands has to replace midfielders, so they will rely on Robben, Van Persie, and Sneijder to net a goal to keep their confidence as they move through group play.
Spain -1/2 (-125)
Under 2 goals (-110)
Total Booking Points Over 39.5 (-110)
Chile/Australia is an important one for Chile, because I think this country has enough talent to outlast Mexico. Unfortunately for Chile, star midfielder Arturo Vidal will miss this game due to injury, but talented forwards like Barcelona's Alexis Sanchez have a chance to give Chile enough to beat Australia's stingy defense.
Chile -1 (-130)
Under 2.5 Goals (-125)
