It was fun doubting Team USA for a while but they look like they have found their rhythm at the right time.

Australia stuck with them for the better part of two quarters and then they hit the accelerator and it was game over soon after halftime.

Even though France defeated the USA in their opening match of the Tokyo tournament, this feels like a much different USA outfit than can outscore any team they play with.

I’ll back the USA to cover a line that seems far too short.

Bet Number Two:

The United States have well and truly clicked into gear, and they will surely just win Gold in today’s match against France.

They put on a clinic against World Number 2 Spain in the quarterfinals and weathered a tough first half against Australia before ultimately putting them to the sword as well.

France has been the clear standout on the other side of the tournament, but there is no doubt that they will need to go to a new level to compete for all four quarters today.

BET: Over 175.5 Points at $1.85
