It's easy to see why Brazil is such a popular bet.
If this World Cup were to be held at a neutral location, Brazil would likely still be the favourites to win. After all, they have arguably the most talented roster and are proven winners.
However, when you add in the fact that the Brazilian side will be playing in front of their rabid fans at home, they become a much bigger favourite to win. Sure, the pressure will be immense for Brazil, but they have the talent to take them over the top in even the most pressure-packed of games.
