Here is a look at the game and World Cup picks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chile<\/strong><strong> -205, Australia +700, Draw +315, total 2.5 under<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The goal line has Chile laying one goal at -120.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chile<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chile has shown in the past year they can play with the big boys as they played to draws with Brazil and Spain and they beat England.\u00a0 The team has some exciting players like Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal so if they can play a little bit of defense they could surprise Spain and the Netherlands in Group B. The team scored a lot of goals in qualifying but they allowed almost as many as they scored.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Australia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is hard to see how Australia gets even a single point in this group. The team is old and simply doesn\u2019t have enough talent to compete with the other three teams in this group. The team does have a couple of recognizable players in Tim Cahill and Mile Jedinak but overall the team simply doesn\u2019t have many big names.\u00a0 The team actually finished with four points in the 2010 World Cup and they had some success in 2006 but were eliminated by Italy.\u00a0 They are not likely to have any success this time around.\u00a0 The only chance that they would have in the opener is if Chile completely looks past them and ahead to big matches against Spain and Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>World Cup Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It would be a total shock if Chile lost this match so I will lay the price on the three-way <strong>World Cup betting odds<\/strong>. I also have to take a shot with the game going over simply because Chile has been playing high scoring matches on a regular basis in recent months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Cup Betting Odds:\u00a0 Chile is a big favorite to defeat Australia in Group B play on Friday.\u00a0 Chile is considered a darkhorse in Group B and a win on Friday would put them in a solid position especially if Spain and the Netherlands play to a draw.\u00a0 Based on the odds, Chile is not [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1819,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1818","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>World Cup Picks - Chile is a Big Favorite vs. Australia on Friday<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Chile takes on Australia in World Cup action on Friday.
