Anita Marks· Jul 18, 2026
Marks picked France to beat England in the third-place match, citing depth, rest and Mbappe's Golden Boot motivation. On the NFL she said she wouldn't be shocked if the Vikings won the NFC North with Kyler Murray, and her gut says LeBron James returns to Cleveland.
“So again, France on the money line at minus one ten, that's probably my favorite wager.”
