Happy Independence Day, everyone! Nothing says independence more than the freedom to take our hard-earned money and put it on a sport that most only watch every four years.We do it with the Olympics, and we do it with the World Cup.
We’ve had quite a few swings and misses, but we’ve also cashed a couple of solid plus-money plays.Let’s try to do it again.This marks the start of the round of 16.
There aren’t really too many lopsided matches in terms of odds any longer - more on that in a moment.Instead, we should be getting the best teams and solid matches from here on out.
Canada vs Morocco is no exception.Canada is here after taking down Saudi Arabia.
I haven’t seen much out of our neighbors to the north that I’ve been overly impressed with.They’ve scored at least one goal in every game and gotten two shutouts, so there is some stuff to hang their hat on.MOROCCO SENDS THE NETHERLANDS HOME WITH DRAMATIC WORLD CUP KNOCKOUT IN PENALTIESTOPSHOT - Morocco's defender #18 Jawad El Yamiq (C) attempts a shot during the Qatar 2022 World Cup semi-final football match between France and Morocco at the Al-Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, north of Doha on December 14, 2022.

They also haven’t actually lost a match yet and have just one draw.This should be a tight game, and a draw at +245 is where the value lies, in my opinion.
I’m not going to tell you it’s a safe bet, but I think these two teams are a bit more evenly matched, and neither seems to be super aggressive on offense.Give me the draw.France's Kylian Mbappe, left, celebrates after scoring the opening goal by a penalty shoot during the Euro 2024 group B qualifying soccer match between France and Greece at the Stade de France, outside Paris, Monday, June 19, 2023.
