2024 Olympic soccer odds: France favored; Team USA tumbles after opening loss

Coming off gold medals in both the 2016 Olympics in Rio and the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, there will be no three-peat for Brazil, as it failed to qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. 

Instead, France sits at the top of the board as the favorite at +170.

Team USA currently holds the sixth-best odds to win the gold medal at +2800. Those odds tumbled down the board from +1600 after losing 3-0 in its Olympic opener to the favorite France.

After the win, France’s odds shortened to +170 from +230.
