Later this afternoon, the United States men’s basketball team has a chance to atone for what many consider an embarrassing 1-point win 11 days ago against South Sudan. The USA is the heavily favored team to win it all (-650) and they were nearly defeated by a cobbled-together Sudan team.
The linesmakers installed huge odds on this game at USA -33.5 points but the public has been betting heavily on their opponent. Almost 70% of the handle has come in on the underdog, driving the betting line down to just -29.5 points.
South Sudan is 1-0 since the actual tournament began three days ago, having defeated Puerto Rico 90-79. The United States is also coming off a win. They defeated Serbia 110-84.
Our experts think the United States should roll in this game and are issuing a small to medium sized pick on the favorites. Sudan will put up a fight but we don’t expect it to be nearly as close as it was 11 days ago. You can bet this game now at SportsBetting.ag
