Let’s break down my free betting picks for Friday, February 13.
Italy vs USA prediction
Italy vs USA Best bet: USA -6.5 (-120 at Fanatics)
USA is 4-0 with a +19 goal differential despite facing the No. 2, 3, 4, and 5 teams in the world. They’ve faced the toughest competition possible and still completely overmatched their opponents each time out.
They should be able to take things up a notch against Italy, the No. 17-ranked country in the world.
The hosts are 2-2 in their group, but don’t let that fool you. Sweden (No. 6) is the highest-ranked team they’ve faced, and Italy lost 6-1 while giving up 47 shots.
USA is a completely different animal and should run up the score.

Italy vs USA same-game parlay
USA -6.5
Over 7.5
USA has scored five goals in every single game, which is impressive given the quality of competition they’ve faced. They have only played Top-5 opponents.
Dropping down a few levels to play the No. 17-ranked country, USA should dominate from start to finish and put up a new tournament-high in goals. There is a real chance they clear the Over themselves.
