I have to find a better book as this line is clearly geared towards Americans that don't watch hockey but will be putting their money on the US anyways. Shouldnt Canada at the very least should be a small favorite based on rosters alone? That being said, go USA and Suomi!

From what I saw, the USA opened as faves, but are now a slight dog.

It's got nothing to do with U.S. homer money. Game is a pick 'em across the board including many shops that don't have U.S. clients. Everybody opened Canada as a slight favorite, (U.S. even money), and most have moved them to a pick 'em.

Only pinny has stayed the same since opening Canada at -110 and U.S. at even.

Despite their all-star lineup Canada hasn't done anything yet to convince me they deserve to be favored over the U.S. I think the line is accurate.

I heaR what you are saying, but Canada is always a heavy favorite. Vancouver, they were close to -200 in gold medal game and lines like +1.5(-120) were to be found on dogs. I haven't seen many good dog lines this year for any teams. The juice has been ridiculous across all teams. They were the favorites coming in. Its a one game playoff. The two teams have the same amount of wins. Shouldnt they be at least -125 based on rosters alone?

All you have to do is look at the Sweden Fin line. The Fins have looked like the better team in the tourney so far but are +130.


Pardon the rant. Im just mad I cant get any value on the U S.

I should add that that gold medal line was after the US had already beaten them in the prelims too.
