USA vs. France Odds, History
Team USA has dominated Olympic basketball since the event was added as a medal sport in 1936. They’ve participated 19 times and won 16 of those. Including other basketball events, the USA has 25 gold medals; the Soviet Union is in second place with four.
France, despite having a strong basketball culture, has yet to claim an Olympic gold medal in the sport. They’ve come close with silver medals in 1948, 2000, and 2020, but all three times Les Blues were bested by Team USA, adding even more energy to this year’s final.
As of writing, oddsmakers have Team USA as a very heavy favorite to win gold with the advantage in a 16-point spread (FanDuel).
