Will Team USA Repeat History?
The U.S. and France have met three times at the Olympics, including a gold medal duel in 2012. The Americans won all three meetings, including a semifinal in 2016 and a group-stage meeting in 2020. By winning (and possibly covering the spread), the Americans will tally their eighth-consecutive Olympic gold medal and 10th overall.
Team USA’s defense was on full display in the semifinals, limiting Australia to just 40 points during the first three quarters. Ball pressure around the arc was key, with Australia shooting 50% from the field during its three-game winning streak. The Opals also led the field in 3-point percentage ahead of this matchup.
Not only will Gabby Williams and France have their hands full with Team USA’s hounding defense, but they may also have tired legs. Both teams will play their second game in three days, yet France needed overtime to take down Belgium and reach its first gold medal game in program history. The French overcame a 15-point second-half deficit in the process.
This betting angle is certainly baked into the total, priced as low as 154.5 at Caesars Sportsbook. Elsewhere, Fanatics Sportsbook is lined at 155.5 after opening a full point higher.
Moreover, Team USA’s frontline of Breanna Stewart and A’ja Wilson, who combined for 30 points in the semifinals, could be in for a stiffer test against France’s Marième Badiane and Iliana Rupert. If one or both are inefficient, that would further assist the under.
