Flag football is almost impossible to predict. There are nations who have never competed at all who could qualify for LA.

For instance, look at the amount of talent from the NFL and college football  could choose from

For the new sports I really chose based on the last world championships, I don't know anything.

Um... the last match Canada won by 5 goals. It will be a tossup

True, we played in the eleventh-place playoff. I completely forgot about that game. 

 

Well, this match will be very interesting. There's also Argentina, which is always a tough opponent.

Yup should be a toss up between Brazil or Canada with Argentina playing the spoiler role

Handball:

 

Women's:  

Last place is  if they're allowed, if not it's between (In that case I think it's Spain because they have many talents)

 

Men's:  

Last place is  (an optimistic take, maybe even delusional)  can also qualify.

What I think about  chances:

 

Football (W) - Already qualified

Volleyball (W) - Impossible not to qualify

Volleyball (M) - 100%

Handball (W) - 95% 

 

Basketball (M) - 55% - I think this is the team's best moment in about 15 years. So I'm more confident this time.

 

Rugby (W) - 65% - Argentina is really improving, but I think in a direct confrontation for the spot we would still prevail, but this could be our last Olympics until they overtake us in this sport.

 

Football (M) - 30% - I don't think the CBF wants to miss another Olympics. Of course, it will depend on the clubs, but it will probably be the best team available. Which should be enough to have a chance at qualifying.

 

Handball (M) - 50% - This should be the best time to qualify, considering that Argentina is rebuilding, but I'm not going to give this team any favoritism.

 

Basketball (W) - 10% - The team has two really good players, if a miracle happens... But I doubt it.

 

Water Polo (M) - 33% - Canada, Brazil, and Argentina are at the same level.

 

Water Polo (W) - 5% - Canada isn't totally invincible here, so I won't consider this team completely out of the running.

 

Remaining - 0% 

 

My bets:

Football (W)

Volleyball (M/W)

Handball (M/W)

Basketball (M)

Rugby (W)
