The World Cup journey for the U.S. Men’s National Team begins Monday in Qatar as the United States meets Wales for the opening match in Group B. Kickoff is 11 a.m. PST on FOX.

BetOnlineAG released some interesting betting trends on this USMNT team, including a historic amount of exposure to the house on this squad to win the whole thing.

From BetOnline:

Despite only 6.2% of the bets being on Team USA ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the exposure BetOnline has on them is historic.

“Our liability on Team USA to win their first World Cup is growing by the day,” Dave Mason, Brand Manager at BetOnline.ag said. “USMNT opened with 150/1 odds and we’re currently offering them at 110/1. A USA win would be an upset of epic proportions, and it would lead to the biggest futures loss in company history.

“This Team USA liability is already 25% more than our Tiger Woods exposure, and ultimately loss, when he won The Masters in 2019. To date, our largest team futures loss was the Bucs in Super Bowl LV, and the red number on the U.S. in this World Cup is already 50% higher than that.”
