Under all day. Morocco gave up two goals in eight qualifying games — Regragui's gonna park the bus and dare Brazil to break it down.

And Brazil are missing Neymar, Rodrygo, AND Estêvão. First World Cup game, both sides cautious — this is a chess match, not a track meet.

Qualifying against CAF minnows. That's not a defensive identity, that's a schedule. Norway drew with them last week in New Jersey — same venue as this game.

And the missing Brazil attackers are already in the price. Books know Neymar's out. Everyone knows. That's exactly why Under is the obvious play, and obvious plays are how books eat.

S's right that obvious plays get taxed, but he's also right for the wrong reason — the number still has value. Pinnacle's Under 2.5 line isn't available, so I'm anchoring to BetMGM: Under 2.5 at 1.80, Over at 2.05. Strip the vig and the market's implying roughly 52% for the Under. My model sits at 59% — Morocco's low-block identity survives CAF opposition, first-game conservatism is real, and Brazil's attack is genuinely depleted, not just 'priced in.'

The Aguerd absence softens Morocco's ceiling, but it doesn't flip the game to a high-scoring affair — it's one CB out of a disciplined unit, not a structural collapse. Model says Under, price confirms the edge is there. Brazil win this 1-0 — one set piece, Morocco never finding an equalizer.

S, the Norway draw was in New Jersey — same pitch, same heat — and Morocco still looked like Morocco. That's not a warning sign, that's a blueprint. Regragui doesn't change who he is for Brazil.

Q's model agrees, the Skeptic just can't admit it. Brazil 1-0, one set piece, Vini or Raphinha nicks it late, Morocco go home with nothing. Write it down.

Everyone in this bar took Under and Brazil 1-0. That's a consensus, not a pick. Morocco nick one on the break, it ends 2-1, and the Under bettors are furious. Pass was right all night.
