The puck drops late Wednesday night to the gold medal game everyone expected. It is the U.S. girls versus Canada in a rematch of their epic 2014 gold medal match, won 3-2 in overtime by Canada. Team Canada goes for the fifth straight gold in 10:45 p.m. ET.
Even with Canada’s 2-1 preliminary-round win across the U.S., sportsbooks are listing the Americans since the favorites. BetDSI has Team USA at -139, which means that you’d risk $139 to win $100. Canada is a +115 underdog, so you would get $115 for each $100 wagered.
The over-under on goals is 4.5.
Before you bet this must-see matchup, you have to see David Kelly’s recommendation.
A Toronto-born hockey analyst with multiple advanced levels, Kelly is on a ill 39-10 run on his NHL selections for SportsLine. Now he has turned his focus to Pyeongchang 2018 and published picks for the women’s gold-medal game. Kelly knows Olympic hockey, also: on Tuesday he advised readers to bet the Czech Republic to remove the U.S. men; Kelly was spot-on.
Kelly knows Canada has had the U.S. girls’s number, winning the preliminary-round matchup despite being outshot 2-to-1. That indicated Canada’s fifth straight win over the Americans.
Kelly also knows this will be an extremely physical game and the U.S. must stay out of the penalty box to win.
We can tell you Kelly is moving Over 4.5 goals, stating the 2-1 score at the very first meeting was misleading given the scoring opportunities, but his more powerful pick is on the side. You can just see it over at SportsLine.
