00:00Let's take a look at this tournament as a whole from the volleyball perspective.
00:06If we're looking right now at the FanDuel Sportsbook, the odds coming in, Poland is
00:09actually the favorite at a plus 360 price to win the gold medal, Italy at a plus 500,
00:14Team USA at a plus 550.
00:16Of those top teams here, let's just even include France here, the home country at plus 650.
00:20If I were to say, who is the best out of that bunch who you think would win this tournament?
00:25Out of those four, who would that be here, Bill?
00:27Well, if you're going to get Poland, get them now because the odds could shift tomorrow
00:31because they play Italy in a battle of 2-0 teams that will both qualify, obviously, for
00:37the medal round.
00:38But I think you'll get a little bit more value on Poland now.
00:41Like I said, United States, there is some sleeper appeal there with the way they're
00:46playing and trying to get back to the medal stand.
00:49That's a really good team the way that they're playing together.
00:52And you can never discount France, but I think there's the least value in them.
00:57Whoever wins the Italy-Poland game, those odds are going to shift, obviously, based
01:02on the winner.
01:03And so if you're going to get the value on one of those teams, do it now before they
01:06play.
01:07I love to hear the word value here, Bill.
01:09And if we're taking a look at some of those favorites here, again, most of those are at
01:12under a 10-to-1 price.
01:13But there are some long shots here that are listed, Canada, Serbia, Germany, and Japan.
01:18Let's not even say that they can win this tournament itself.
01:21Who's one team that you're looking out for that possibility of maybe a gold medal but
01:24you think can get to the medal podium?
01:26Well, Brazil.
01:27I mean, they have a history in the Olympics and volleyball, too, and they've got to take
01:31care of business.
01:32They are looking to squeeze in there right now.
01:34There's a couple teams that may get in ahead of them.
01:36But I think Brazil would be that team that maybe can make some noise if they get in the
01:41medal round.
