Betting on Rio: Argentina (+9.5) v. Spain

The question is how much Argentina wants to win this game. They have already clinched a spot in the quarterfinals, but could drop as low as the three seed if they lose to Spain.

I think Argentina gives it close to a full effort tonight. Playing Serbia as the four seed is much more favorable than playing Australia as the three. Spain has the edge in size and talent, but Argentina plays well as a team and have have four game changing playmakers in Scola, Ginobili, Andres Nocioni and Facundo Campazzo.

Look for Argentina to cover tonight in their final Group B matchup.
