The Croatians are a solid team and I feel like we see some first game jitters out of the Brazilians. They are going to give Brazil everything they can handle in this first match.
Mexico +120 (2 units)
Cameroon looks like a doormat in this division. I think the Mexicans get off to a solid start with a 2-1 win.

Good luck to your sir. I agree on Croatia, but not as certain on the Mexico to win. El Tri were the favorites in qualifying and yet they put forth an average performance that resulted them needing a playoff victory over New Zealand just to qualify. Yes I am aware they've turned it around somewhat, but I could see another letdown for the heavy favorites in the face of pressure. Whereas Cameroon, though less talented, can play loose, knowing they're just happy to be there. That's my take anyway. I'm certainly no expert, or even close to an expert.

Having closely followed the warm-up friendlies, it is clear that Mexico is very weak coming into the tournament. They were thoroughly outplayed by Bosnia, and lucky to lose by a single goal. Cameroon on the other hand has had some solid results, most notably a 2-2 draw against Germany.
All in all, this is an older Mexican squad (Rafa Marquez, Cisco Rodriguez, Salcido), missing their best player Carlos Vela, and hoping to be led by an out of form Chicharito.
Cameroon has a talented squad, and sport the exact type of aggressive football needed to get a result against the Mexicans.
-Cameroon Double Chance is the play

Look for Australia to park the bus against an attack-minded Chilean team. Chile is going to win this game 1-0 or 2-0 in my opinion. I just don't see Australia putting forth much offense at all.
Spain -120 (2 units)
I have a feeling that Spain disappoints in this tournament and goes out early, but I still feel that they will get it done against a poor Netherlands side. The Dutch don't seem to have any chemistry at the moment and the Spaniards should come out with a 2-0 or 2-1 win.
Group B
Chile/Australia UNDER 2.5 (2 units)

I realize that it sucks that Colombia will be without Falcao, but this Greece team is going no where. After missing out on the previous two World Cups, it is time for the Colombians to shine. I predict Greece to finish last in this group and Colombia to finish first, so this is a mismatch in my opinion.
Cote d'Ivoire/Japan DRAW +200 (2 units)
The Japanese are going to be one of my surprise teams in the sense that they will advance past the group stages. There is definite value in Japan +180, but I think that we get more value in the draw. I see a 1-1 or 2-1 Japan win in this game.
Group C
Colombia -110 (2 units)

The Argentines should be able to find 2 goals here with their excellent attack. Bosnia have firepower as well, and it would not surprise me to see them net one. I see a 2-1 or 3-1 Argentine win.
Nigeria +120 (2 units) Why is Nigeria such a heavy favourite? Because Iran is easily the worst team in this World Cup. I fully expect them to come out with 0 points.
Group F
Argentina/Bosnia-Herzegovina OVER 2.5 (2 units)

I really think this Swiss side is strong, but Ecuador will be a difficult opponent to beat. They finished ahead of Uruguay in qualifying; this is no push over. The Swiss have a near impenetrable backline, and this one smells like 0-0.
