A Quick Game Theory Look at the September and October CONCACAF Qualifying Window

The USMNT plays six world cup qualifiers in the September and October FIFA windows. It is widely reported that we play:

September

At El Salvador

Canada

At Honduras

October

Jamaica

@Panama

Costa Rica

Much has been made about how the USMNT might rotate and approach these games but what of our opponents? Many think it possible all the teams but Mexico will punt games with the USA because they would expect to lose. However, I do not think they will go into it with such a negative outlook.
