World Cup week has officially arrived with Mexico vs. South Africa getting the action started Thursday at 3 p.m. ET.
Media members, fans and bettors have been making World Cup predictions for months, but now with the tournament just days away, we can start zeroing in on our best early group stage bets.
To help us perform that task, I'm happy to announce that World Cup projections for Action Network's math guru Nick Giffen are now live as a PRO feature in the Action app, providing each day's biggest betting edges for moneylines, over/unders, spreads, goalscorers and more!
This is a feature I'll personally be checking in on daily throughout the entire tournament, but I also just took it for a spin to pick off the smartest World Cup predictions right now.
After doing so, I've landed on three extremely enticing picks, including USA vs. Paraguay, Brazil vs. Morocco and Iran vs. New Zealand.
