NESN.com’s picks: Brazil, over
It’s pretty tough to pick against Brazil. They are a complete squad and long have been one of the tournament’s favorites. And though Mexico has had some special moments, it’s unsure just how far that will carry them. Take Brazil.
Defense hasn’t been one of the strong suits for Mexico, and Brazil has its share of offensive weapons. And while Brazil hasn’t actually deluged goals, the threats both sides have in the attacking third make a 2.5 goal total seem a little conservative. Go with the over.
