Updated 2022 World Cup Odds Entering the Round of 16

Brazil is listed as the World Cup favorite at SI Sportsbook; USA checks in at +9000.

The 2022 World Cup has become known as the “Tournament of Upsets.”

The knockout stage is now fully set and it is fair to say the final 16 teams are not even close to what many oddsmakers and fans of the pitch were predicting heading into the prestigious tournament.

The unbeaten United States men's national team has advanced to a round-of-16 matchup against the Netherlands on Saturday. Team USA is a +175 underdog to advance to the quarterfinals of a World Cup for the first time since 2002.

The re-opening of futures’ odds displays the world’s No. 1-ranked team, Brazil, as the favorite to win the World Cup at odds of +225, despite a shocking 1-0 loss to Cameroon on Friday. If Neymar (ankle), who was hurt early in Brazil’s first game against Serbia, can return to action, then the team known as “Canarinha” will be tough to beat.

Following Brazii, bettors find Lionel Messi and Argentina at +450, 2018 World Cup champion France at +500 and then Sergio Busquets and Spain at +650 atop the betting board.
