Yannick Agnel... seems to be his only true challenge...
Well his form in the 400IM suggests he is going to have a good meet. But this is going to be the toughest of all his individual races to win gold, even though he is still the favorite for it. Agnel probably has the more explosiveness given his 100m background but he is yet to really prove himself on a big meet.
The 2 Asians Park and Yang probably do not have the speed to match Lochte in the first 100m but they will come home strong in the final 50m given their long distance pedigree. Going to be a tight race, one to pass for me

Coutts to win 100m fly - (+925) (1 unit) Vollmer NOT to win 100m fly - (+415) (1 unit)
Vollmer is the clear favorite given she set an OR in the semi finals and qualified more than half a second faster than anyone else but Coutts also did a PB in the semi finals and last year at the World Champs was basically touched out on the wall by Vollmer. I'm taking a shot on this one hoping Vollmer shot her load in her semi-final swin and add Sjostrom to the mix it may be a lot closer than the odds suggests.

Lithuania
these Olympics are built on playing a high tempo game that spread the
floor and rely on sharp shooting perimeter players. Definitely more
emphasis on this style tonight given there is general talk about trying
to expose how old this Argentinian team.
Argentina/Lithuania OVER 163.5 - (-110) (3 units)

So what do ya reckon in the 100m breaststroke rod??
The saffer is going to be extremely difficult to beat, like I said he looked like he had a bit more in reserve even after breaking the OR. But if you can get Kitajima at over $4 then worth a shot, can never write off one of the most competitive racers in swimming

Rod do you think Usa has a chance to beat the Aussies in the 100 x 400m freestyle relay? $5 for Usa is tempting
Based on the heats it will be an uphill battle for the other teams. The Missile looked like he barely broke a sweat when he rounded up Lezak in the last 25m
France might be some value H2h against USA if you can find that option
