Sports in 2024 have seen a trend of favorites coming out on top in various tournaments. From Michigan winning the National Championship in college football to the Kansas City Chiefs winning the Super Bowl in the NFL, favorites have been performing well. Even in college basketball, UConn dominated as favorites in March Madness, and the South Carolina women’s team also won as favorites.
On the PGA Tour, Scottie Scheffler has been a dominant force, winning six tournaments as the favorite, including the Masters. Most recently, the Florida Panthers and Boston Celtics also secured championships as favorites in their respective leagues.
Now, with the Euros and Copa América tournaments underway, favorites like France and England are looking to continue this winning trend. France and England opened the Euros as co-favorites, but France has faced some challenges after a disappointing draw against Poland. They will now face Belgium in the knockout stage, with their odds dropping to +600.
On the other hand, England has performed well, winning their group and now standing as the sole favorite at +350. In Copa América, Argentina and Brazil were the initial favorites, but Argentina has emerged as the front runner after a strong start, while Brazil has had a shaky beginning to the tournament.
The question remains whether these favorites will continue their winning streak or if an underdog will rise to the occasion. With exciting matchups and intense competition ahead, the Euros and Copa América promise to deliver thrilling moments for sports fans around the world.
