Portugal -1.5 vs. Uzbekistan

Some of the bigger teams in this World Cup started things off on the wrong foot. Portugal are one of them. Portugal drew 1-1 with DR Congo despite being a sizable favorite in that opening match. They now face Uzbekistan, who fell 3-1 to Colombia in their opener. This is an ideal get-right spot for Cristiano Ronaldo and Co., so we'll target Portugal winning by two or more goals to kick off Tuesday's action.

England -1.5 vs. Ghana

Ghana pulled off one of the more exciting wins of the early stages of this World Cup with a late goal in stoppage time to defeat Panama 1-0 in their opener. Ghana had possession for just 37% of the match along with eight total shots, but it was enough to get the win. That won't work against England, who scored four times over Croatia in their opener. England are favored to win Group L for a reason, and they should be able to cover this spread against Ghana considering they did so against a veteran Croatia side. 

Panama Double Chance vs. Croatia

Croatia were largely dominated by England in their opener, a 4-2 loss where the British side answered quickly after each Croatian goal. Panama suffered a narrow 1-0 loss to Ghana, but Panama largely dominated the affair with a 63% time of possession edge and 11 shots to Ghana's eight. We'll look for Panama to pull off a bit of an upset here, and we'll hedge it a bit with a Double Chance wager (Panama win or draw).
