Using odds provided by both Bovada and SkyBet, along with experts' opinions for those niche sports without odds (the events you will find with no accompanying odds), we compiled a list of every gold-medal favorite in Rio.

Think of this as as must-watch list. Maybe you don't know a ton about trampoline off the top of your head, but all of a sudden find yourself suddenly watching it, totally enthralled one afternoon.

Using this list, you'll know who the favorite is (in trampoline, that'd be Dong Dong, the defending Olympic champion). And, therefore, you'll know whom to watch - no matter which event you've stumbled upon.

And with that, enjoy the games!
