Ecuador is ranked 23rd on the FIFA rankings list, while Ivory Coast isn't far behind, sitting 33rd. This should be a close game. Ivory Coast has only one loss in their last 10 games, while Ecuador is undefeated in their last 19, though 11 of those were draws. After both saw what Germany did to Curaçao, got to expect both to beat the weak Curaçao side. That leaves this game as huge in terms of who advances. Both sides should enter carefully and play cautiously, which could easily lead to a split of points and a draw.

These two teams are separated by only 10 spots on the FIFA rankings list, so this should be a close game. Both will fancy themselves advancing after seeing how poor Curaçao looks in their group and banking on beating them, which should lead to a more careful approach in this one, as a draw would be good for both. Ecuador has 11 draws in their last 19 games, while Ivory Coast has only 1 loss in their last 10 games, so a draw makes a lot of sense here. Ivory Coast scored in 10 of their last 11 games, while Ecuador scored in 8 of their last 9 games, so a draw with goals looks like a solid option to try.

Ecuador sits only 10 spots ahead of Ivory Coast in FIFA rankings, so this should be a close game. Both also play a lot of low-scoring games. With a draw working in favor of both, got to expect a lower-scoring, tight affair. Ivory Coast scored in their last 10 games, while Ecuador has 11 draws in their last 19 games, with 4 of the last 5 draws being 1-1, so got to like a 1-1 result here.

Franco earned 5 yellow cards and 1 red card in 202 playing for Atletico Mineiro. He earned 3 yellow cards and 1 red in qualifying for this World Cup and got booked in Ecuador's last 2 friendlies so got to like him for a booking in this one.

Hurricanes won the last two games of this series to take a 3-2 lead heading into game 6 in the desert. Golden Knights have to respond, and at home they have been very good. Golden Knights must push back to avoid elimination and force game 7 back in Raleigh. After losing a couple of close games,got to expect them to be better in this one and win in the end.

Hurricanes have a chance to win and clinch the title in this one, while the Golden Knights need a win to stave off elimination and force game 7. The series has been tight, with 3 games finishing by 1-goal margins and the other 2 finishing by 2-goal margins, so this one should be close as well. Golden Knights are at home and playing for their lives, so got to fancy them to keep this one close and cover the puck line in the end.

These two teams went over this total in all 5 games of this series, with those 5 games averaging a whopping 7.8 total goals per game. Both are creating a lot offensively, and all 3 goalies used in this series are well below a 90% save percentage, so got to expect plenty of goals in this one as well, which should result in another over.

Rams last won the Super Bowl in 2021 when they hosted at SoFi Stadium, and this year's Super Bowl is again being played at SoFi in LA. Rams have a superb team led by last year's MVP QB Stafford, who led them to the title in 2021. They have an amazing offense with a fantastic receiving core in the likes of excellent Nacua and Adams, alongside a whole stable of young and improving tight ends and a rock-solid run game with Williams. On the other side, their defense just got vastly improved by the addition of last season's Defensive Player of the Year, Garrett, who broke the NFL single-season sack record with 23 sacks. They also traded for two Chiefs cornerbacks, McDuffie and Watson, to fill the need in the secondary, while they also have one of the most brilliant coaching minds in McVay. After going close last year, where they lost a close one to the eventual winners in the NFC Championship game, simply got to like the Rams to go all the way this season and win another title at home in LA.
