Alright, lets get it done here. Here our Unathletic’s money picks for World Cup 2010 Quaterfinals….
Game 1: Netherlands vs. Brazil, Friday 7/2 @ 10:00 AM
Will the long balls work for the Netherlands against Brazil? I am pulling for them, but Brazil should advance at a tidy price. See Argentina game and you will know why I am forced to pick Brazil here.
Game 2: Uruguay vs. Ghana, Friday 7/2 @ 2:30 PM
This game looks like a low scoring beat down of a game. I would love to say a draw for this game would be the bet, but I can’t bring myself to bet a draw. 1-0 Uruguay. At even money, Uruguay has been in exceptional form. Ghana, and Africa are eliminated.
Game 3: Argentina vs. Germany, Saturday 7/3 @ 10:00 AM
Germany is in form. Argentina is in form. No northern hemisphere team has ever won a World Cup when it’s been in the southern hemisphere. With Brazil winning, this is my upset. Germany is the pick here at a heck of a price of +230. Tactically, this is a tough match up for Argentina.
Game 4: Spain vs. Paraguay, Saturday 7/3 @ 2:30 PM
This is the heaviest chalk of the quarters and by rights it should be. Paraguay is a damn good team, but Spain, although not pretty, have gotten through so far and will continue to do so. Spain at a pick is a heavy price, but shouldn’t let you down.
