The teams are set, and the United States remains the big favorite at Hazeltine for the 2016 Ryder Cup over the Europeans. There are about a million ways to bet on this year's event, and I have picked out some of the most interesting ones thanks to Bovada. Let's start with the overall event.

2016 Ryder Cup odds

United States win (-190)
Europe win (+150)

It's pretty insane that the team that has won six of the last seven of these events is a +150 underdog to win in 2016. I would probably bet on the U.S., but that's a strong number for a squad with Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose.

Margin of victory props

U.S. to win 14.5 - 13.5 (10-1)
U.S. to win 15 - 13 (9-1)
U.S. to win 19.5 - 8.5 (66-1)
U.S. to win 20.5 - 7.5 (100-1)
Tie 14 -14 (10-1)
Europe to win 14.5 - 13.5 (10-1)
Europe to win 15 - 13 (11-1)
Europe to win 18.5 - 9.5 (100-1)
Europe to win 20 - 8 (200-1)
Europe to win 21.5 - 6.5 (400-1)

You can bet on every iteration, but these were the most intriguing to me. The U.S. at 19.5 to 8.5 is fascinating at that 66-1 number. The U.S. really could rout this European team that has six rookies.

Margin of victory

U.S. by 1-3 points (11-4)
U.S. by 4-6 points (7-2)
U.S. by 7+ points (4-1)
Europe by 1-3 points (7-2)
Europe by 4-6 points (11-1)
Europe by 7+ points (14-1)
Tie (11-1)

I'm in love with U.S. by seven or more points at 4-1. Love! Also Europe by 4-6 points is nice at 11-1. So is the tie.

Team to win first full point

U.S. (-130)
Europe (even)

This is completely dependent on who goes out first on Thursday, but I presume Davis Love III will choose to play four ball first which is what the U.S. is better at so I would go U.S. at -130.

Race to 10 points
