We\u2019re onto Week 5 of the “Friendly Wager” and we\u2019re fresh off the biggest hit of the World Cup for this column. Thanks to Argentina and Cape Verde\u2019s regulation draw last Friday<\/u>,<\/u> we padded our pockets with a +715 winner.<\/p>\n
Time flies when you\u2019re having fun.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m also happy to confirm that with the USA\u2019s exit against Belgium in the Round\u00a0of 16, we won\u2019t lose any more bets on Christian Pulisic. What an apathetic dud of a tournament from the “best American soccer player.”<\/p>\n
Yikes.<\/p>\n

Friendly Wager Record:<\/strong> France vs. Morocco<\/strong><\/p>\n The mighty French are massive favorites here at -400, and that should surprise nobody.<\/p>\n Sportsbooks are jacking up the price on Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 to score, too. He\u2019s as high as -135 in the market to light the lamp, and I\u2019m just not interested at that price.\u00a0<\/p>\n What\u2019s even more insane is Mbapp\u00e9 is only <\/i>4\/1 to score twice.<\/p>\n Lol.<\/p>\n I\u2019m skipping past Mbapp\u00e9 in the goal market \u2014 famous last words \u2014 and circling French forward Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9. FanDuel has him at +200 to score, which you can drive up higher by parlaying that with France to qualify for the next round.\u00a0<\/p>\n DraftKings has +202, FanDuel has +241.<\/p>\n Always be shopping.<\/p>\n Norway vs. England<\/strong><\/p>\n I cannot wait for this Saturday afternoon tilt.<\/p>\n Truth be told, I\u2019m rooting for Norway because Erling Haaland completes me, and I\u2019m also a sucker for the Viking Row after Norwegian wins. I just don\u2019t know if Norway has enough ammo to get by Three Lions.<\/p>\n What\u2019s clear to me is that Haaland is a scoring machine. In 54 career matches for Norway, he\u2019s put the ball in the back of the net 62 times.\u00a0<\/p>\n On the other hand, Harry Kane is one of the world\u2019s most dangerous scorers. There\u2019s not a game that goes by without him getting multiple high-level scoring chances.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s wheel a Haaland goal with a Kane goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" POPULAR SEARCHES BROWSE BY We\u2019re onto Week 5 of the “Friendly Wager” and we\u2019re fresh off the biggest hit of the World Cup for this column.
