I think Nigeria will blast an over matched Ethiopia team today. They have very fast and adept strikers with Musa, Emenike, and Ideye, and Obi Mikel and Moses in mid-field make this a tough group to stop for a completely outclassed side from Ethiopia. Add to the fact that Nigeria knows it needs goals to have any chance to win the group (and avoid Ivory Coast in their first knockout match), and I don't see them letting up.
Ivory Coast may be deserved favorites in this tournament, and every ones pulling for Drogba since he's running out of chances, but let's face it, the Elephants have found ways to screw this up many times, and while one can make a case for Ghana as well, I think Nigeria at 10-1, and even Togo as a flyer at 40-1 are worthwhile stabs to win the African Cup of Nations.
