Germany open their World Cup campaign against Curaçao at NRG Stadium today, and this one is about as lopsided as it gets — the Germans are sitting at -3500 favorites, which is basically a formality dressed up as a football match. Curaçao are a plucky Caribbean side but they are walking into a buzzsaw here, and the over-under sitting at four and a half goals tells you the bookmakers are expecting Germany to put on a clinic rather than park the bus.

The real question isn't whether Germany win, it's whether their attack clicks early and they run up the score, or whether Nagelsmann rotates and it turns into a scrappy five-nil. My bold call: Germany hang six on them before the hour mark and the broadcast cuts to highlight reels before stoppage time even arrives.
