A national sportswriter whose work appears in The New York Times and Los Angeles Times, Tierney has covered nine Olympic Games in person. At Rio in 2016, Tierney profited big-time. He told readers to bet over on Team USA’s gold medal count (41.5) and over on Team USA’s overall medal count (102.5). The result? 46 golds, 121 medals and two easy cashes. Then, at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Tierney hit two of his three predictions: Germany (+200) to win the most gold medals and the United States winning under 10.5 gold medals (+110). Anybody following has seen some big returns.
Now, Tierney has broken down the 2024 Olympics from every possible angle and revealed his best bets for Tuesday, Aug. 6. He has two beach volleyball, one women’s track and field, one women’s soccer and one men’s basketball selection. You can visit SportsLine now to see his 2024 Summer Olympics picks.
Top 2024 Paris Olympics picks for August 6
Tierney sees value with Brazil in their knockout stage men’s basketball game against the United States on Tuesday. The Americans are favored to win by 27, but have not beaten an opponent by more than 26 since arriving in Paris. Brazil finished third in group play, losing to France and Germany, before defeating Japan 102-84 on Friday. The United States is 23-7 against Brazil in 30 previous meetings.
“After beating the spread versus Serbia in its debut, the U.S. has seemed uninterested in pulling away from foes,” Tierney told SportsLine. “Brazil can hang with the Americans. It excels on the offensive boards, a relative U.S. weakness, and tops the field with 45 percent shooting on threes. The Brazilians have won just once, but had respectable defeats to France by 12 and Germany by 13. Here’s guessing the U.S. will salt away a victory, then look ahead to the semis rather than pursue a blowout.” See the rest of Tierney’s picks here.
