Honduras v Qatar
A draw here benefits both sides and takes out Panama. Second place gets Mexico next so there could be incentive for Qatar to come out and try to win outright. If Honduras can hold Mexico to a 0-0 result last month they can do the same versus Qatar. I think Honduras parks the bus and 1-1 might be the outcome;

Panama v Granada
The spice boys of Granada have already been eliminated and with nothing to play for might trot out some bench guys to give them minutes. If that happens this can get very ugly. Panama need the win and they need plenty of goals. Panama will look to jump out attacking early and might get demoralized in the 2nd half if the other game is not going in their favour so I'm going with;

Qatar v El Salvador
Qatar come into the game in the back of a 11 game unbeaten streak that included 7 wins where the opponent was blanked. El Salvador have only managed to score 4 goals in their last 5 games. These sides just met recently in a friendly on July 4th with a 1-0 result in favour to Qatar. Qatar are the AFC champions for a reason and should be able to take care of El Salvador in regulation.

Mexico v Honduras
I have backed Mexico the all through the group stages and all they have done is under perform. Mexico are missing Lozano & Jimenez so it is hard to find goals. Mexico have only scored 4 goals in the group stage. The last head to head meeting last month ended 0-0. I see Honduras parking the bus trying to get this into PK's. I also like the under the total.

Canada v Costa Rica
Costa Rica will be without their starting keeper Moreira who is suspended. Canada will be without Larin & Akinola who are injured. I was hoping the line would have favoured the ticos closer to kick off but it looks like that will not be the case. I will still continue to fade Costa Rica here so going in big on Canada here;

USA v Jamaica
The USA are winners of 6 straight having won 4 of those to nil. There is no value backing them ON the ML or AH as I expect Jamaica to all out defend here and try to counter. Jamaica have only scored 4 goals in the past 4 games and have under performed the who tournament.

USA v Qatar
USA have won 7 in a row, five of which were to nil. Qatar are undefeated in their past 12 games. The Americans are rightfully favoured especially with home field advantage. I see Qatar as being very difficult to break down and I would not be surprised if this game does not get settled in regulation.
42. Qatar +0.5 @ 1.81/-123 (1u) Pinnacle
43. Qatar/USA to DRAW @ 3.45/+245 (1/2u) MarathonComment -
Canada v Mexico
Mexico come into the match winners of 7 straight and have yet to concede a goal in the tournament. There will obviously be a pro Mexican crowd in Texas. Mexico is expected to win but aside from their last game versus Honduras were not impressive. Canada will be without suspended duo Cavallini & Vitoria. Canada will also be missing injured Larin & Akinola. I expect Mexico to advance, but I do not expect a blowout.
44. Canada +1 @ 1.85/-117 (1u) MarathonComment -
USA v Mexico
The final that you knew was going to be orchestrated no matter what. The Mexicans are better on paper and are rightfully slight favourites. The last head to head encounter was the Nations league final that the USA won 3-2 in extra time. There is no value on the Under, I am leaning on BTTS but wanted plus money. I see a 1-1 scoreline in regulation & the game is in Vegas where the house always wins thus;
