BetMGM has updated its FIFA 2022 World Cup odds before the tournament begins Nov. 20 in Qatar, and both North American nations are around the halfway mark of the 32-team field.
Gregg Berhalter’s USMNT is one of four nations tied for the 15th-best odds (+10000), while Jordan Herdman’s CanMNT is one of six nations tied for the 21st-best odds (+25000).
That’s not to assert the Concacaf neighbors can’t navigate what awaits in the Middle East.
But the USMNT, opening Group B play on Nov. 21 against Wales, have some questions to sort out after missing the 2018 World Cup in Russia. And the CanMNT, opening Group F play on Nov. 23 against Belgium, last made a World Cup 36 years ago.
The worldwide context is crucial, too, with Brazil deemed lead favorites (+400 odds) and both Argentina and France right on their heels with +600 odds.
Check out the full rundown below before the mad dash to a Dec. 18 final begins.
