Hopefully these betting predictions will win you money in the Winter Olympics’ hockey game between the USA and Canada.

I’ve watched every single hockey game from both the USA and Canada during the 2010 Winter Olympics, and I think I’ve hammered down the correct betting prediction make against the odds.  Both teams have their strengths and weaknesses, but only one will prevail with the win in tonight’s game.

Canada is the medium-sized betting favorite in tonight’s hockey matchup against the USA.  BoDog Sportsbook has the betting odds favoring Canada to win by 2 or more goals at even money.  All the USA has to do to be the winning betting prediction is win outright or lose by less than 2 goals in tonight’s Winter Olympics matchup.

Both Canada and the USA have played two hockey games in the 2010 Winter Olympics, and both are currently undefeated.  The USA beat Switzerland 3-1 and Norway 6-1 while Canada took out Switzerland 3-2 and easily vanquished Norway 8-0.

I have not been impressed with the USA’s offense so far in the Winter Olympics.  They just don’t look like a complete hockey team at this point, and it might take a few more games before they get it together.  Canada looks like the much better team on offense at this point.

Our betting prediction for USA vs Canada will center mainly on the individual defenses.  Canada has struggled with fast-paced offenses while the United States has played a much safer overall game.  There have been holes in the United States’ defense, but they are still very strong and should keep this game close.

Make your prediction on Team USA tonight.  They are good enough on defense to keep it close, and I expect a very low-scoring game.

Team USA and Canada will get underway with a 7:40 PM ET start time, and you won’t want to miss a second of this hockey game from Vancouver.
