Men's Tokyo Olympics soccer futures betting: which teams will win groups and lift the title in August?

Spain and Brazil are the two favorites to win the title, but there are some other teams with dreams of standing on top of the podium in Japan

The 2020 Tokyo Olympics already in action, and the men's soccer tournament will join the fray overnight.

While there are some quality teams in the 16-team, four group tournament, it looks to be a two-horse race between Spain (the favorites, at odds of +200) and Brazil (odds of +300).

But there are a few teams that might make some noise as well. Germany beat Spain to win the UEFA Under-21 title, and also knocked off some vaunted teams along the way. You can get the Germans at +1000 to win the tournament, which looks like a very good value.

If you are looking to bet the USA, do not bother: the Americans did not qualify AGAIN for the Olympics, because the US Soccer set up is still a joke at the lower levels. But I digress...

You can also bet on the teams to win the groups, and there is some value as well with them.

Here is a look
