Top Call of Duty Games to Wager on Thursday, March 3

London Royal Ravens vs Los Angeles Guerrillas

When: Thursday, March 3 – 16:00 CST

London Royal Ravens are heavily favored to defeat Los Angeles Guerrillas, who enter this match as +240 underdogs. The offered esports betting odds make a lot of sense, knowing how much better the London outfit have been in the CDL Major 1 qualifier, and there aren’t many arguments you can make in favor of the Guerrillas to cause an upset.

London Royal Ravens are arguably one of the contenders to win the Major, next to the likes of LA Thieves, OpTic, Ultra, and the Surge. Which of these teams is the best is up to debate – you could argue that London Royal Ravens are the second-strongest knowing that they won against OpTic, but in that game, OpTic did not play well, so we would rank London Royal Ravens as the current fourth-best team.

If we put teams in rankings based on their showings this season, London Royal Ravens would be A-Tier, while Los Angeles Guerrillas would be a B-Tier team. They’re good and have the potential to be great, but we have yet to see enough from them to consider Guerrillas as contenders.

Evidently, London Royal Ravens should be considered as the favorites, but realistically, they weren’t that much worse than London. They won fewer games, but London picked up some close wins against teams that were struggling at the time.

London should win, but this match can be much closer than expected, which is why we’re on the Guerrillas with a +1.5 map handicap.

Prediction: Los Angeles Guerrillas +1.5 maps

Boston Breach vs FaZe Clan

When: Thursday, March 3 – 17:30 CST

The reigning CDL champions, Atlanta FaZe, are in a class of their own. They ended the qualifiers with a perfect 5-0 record, have yet to lose a match this season, and it’s hard to imagine them losing against any team in the CDL Major 1. The question for this major is not so much whether FaZe can win, but rather if there is any team that can challenge him and possibly derail what is currently undeniably the best team in the league.

Boston Breach have had some moments so far this season. But they’re not nearly as good as FaZe Clan, and you don’t have to look far to find confirmation.

Breach and FaZe clashed on Sunday, February 13, when FaZe won 3-1 and have since beaten Minnesota and New York with 3-0 and 3-1. Over the same stretch, Boston Breach lost against New York (2-3) and OpTic (1-3), so there are not even any “good form” arguments you could make in favor of the Breach.

Last time out, we saw Breach win one map, which is inspiring, and there is a world where they do it again. But with the form FaZe have been showing, this match smells of a 3-0 sweep.

Prediction: Atlanta FaZe to win 3-0
