Argentina vs Austria parlay: +700
After the hat trick in the opener, it's hard to keep Lionel Messi (-110) off the SGP here. The real question is whether to add another Argentine or an Austrian.
I'm rolling with Marko Arnautovic (+300), who didn't start against Jordan but came on at halftime, had a goal called back, and buried a penalty late in the match.
He generated nearly four times the expected goals of any other player in the opener and also missed a big chance.

France vs Iraq parlay: +220
France can play sloppy and still put up three goals. The Lionel Messi (-110) and Kylian Mbappe (-200) parlays are going to be a major liability for the books, but I'm going to get square here and take Mbappe and Michael Olise (+100) for a French side that could flirt with four goals.
Mbappe is three goals away from becoming the World Cup's all-time leading scorer and could have easily scored more than twice in the opener. He is chasing Messi, so that number could grow.
Olise played the full match against Senegal and was the top-rated player on the pitch. He also finished third in expected goals.

Norway vs Senegal: +800
Norway is a +120 three-way favorite in this matchup, but Erling Haaland (-110) is more likely to score than Norway is to win. Haaland will be on plenty of tickets alongside Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe, with that trio paying +446 to all find the back of the net on Monday and better than 100/1 to each score twice, like they all did last Tuesday.
No other Norway starter found the scoresheet in the 4-1 win over Iraq, and Norway has conceded in seven of its last eight matches.
On the Senegal side, Ismaila Sarr (+350) led the team in xG against France and finished the club season in strong form, scoring six times in Crystal Palace's final 13 matches.

Jordan vs Algeria parlay: +1000
After a ton of star power in the opening Monday games, bettors get Jordan vs. Algeria in the late slot. This projects as the lowest-scoring match of the day, but both sides conceded three goals in their openers.
Fares Chaibi (+175) played the full match and paced the game with five touches in the opposition box while adding a team-high three shots.
For Algeria, Ali Olwan (+300) is the betting favorite to score for his side after finishing as the second-highest rated player in the 3-1 loss to Austria. He paced the game with four shots, finished second in expected goals, and also played the full 90 minutes.
