USMNT vs. Australia prediction, odds, line, time: 2026 World Cup picks, props - CBS Sports

The 2026 World Cup continues with a marquee Group D clash between the United States and Australia in Seattle, kicking off at 9 p.m. ET. The USA entered the match after a 4-1 rout of Paraguay, while Australia pulled off a 2-0 upset of Turkiye, setting up a winner-takes-advantage scenario for both teams. A key concern for the Americans is Christian Pulisic’s calf injury, which could affect their attack. A win for either side would secure a spot in the Round of 32 and improve the prospects of topping the group. FanDuel lists the U.S. at -165, Australia at +400, and a draw at +340, with an Over/Under of 2.5. SportsLine’s Jon Eimer previews the matchup and leans toward an Over, highlighting the x-factor and advising readers to check his full picks on the site.
