Are you betting on Magnus or Karjakin?

Magnus all the way. I'd even wager he will ruin Karjakin's opening prep by deviating immediately into a super quiet, non-book variation.
I think magnus will take the cake. However, I don't think it's going to be as big of a gap as everyone thinks. I would've much rather seen fabi facing off against magnus.
Carlsen 6 - 2 easily

Caruana would have been a much more worth opponent, we could even see a 6 - 4 (in favor of Carlsen obv)
I expect MC to win. But Karjakin has fanatically been preparing for 6 month and is an unbelievably skilled defender. If Karjakin can avoid a loss in the first 6 games it will get tricky for Magnus.

It will be close.
Close indeed but I think Magnus will win
