Canada vs. USA Gold Medal Hockey Start Time and Preview

The Canada vs. USA start time is 3:00 EST. Canada is the prohibitive favorite and Bodog says they will take home the Gold Medal.

While Team USA may have the always brash Brian Burke to thank for their mix of grinders, goal-scorers, no-names and stellar goaltending, Team Canada has general manager and former Detroit Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman to thank for putting together an A-Team of athletes.

"It comes down to character," said Yzerman, "and we believe we've got 23 guys with great character."

And speaking of which, Team Canada has Eric Staal, Sidney Crosby and Jarome Iginla. These guys have tightened things up and their line is eager to explode on the Americans. Boy do they want a rematch of last Sunday's game…with a different outcome, of course.

Joe Thornton, Ryan Getzlaf and Jonathan Toews are three of the strongest forwards going into the gold medal game and they're more than ready, too.

Canada's loss to the US resulted in the team getting an extra game to sort things out and iron out any wrinkles. Players that maybe weren't entirely confident about things at the start of the tournament had an extra game to gain the confidence needed to crush Russia.

Canada's win over Slovakia wasn't an easy one, but in looking back at their loss against the Americans Team Canada coach Mike Babcock had this to say: "We were too easy on Miller last time. We won't be this time."

And it would be unfair to the +18,000 fans expected to be on hand at Canada Hockey Place to rule out Roberto Luongo's popularity in Vancouver. As the captain of the Vancouver Canucks and the starting goalie for Team Canada, Luongo knows his role and he's ready to play the game of his life at the Vancouver Olympics.

"You work for something like this your whole life," Luongo said. "It's all about seizing the moment now."

Canada has won three straight with Luongo in net and is 4-0-0 when Luongo plays. He's got a .920 save percentage (stopping 81 of 87 shots), a 1.75 goals-against average and one shutout.

And finally, let's not forget that this final game is being played in Canada, the "host with the most" gold medals at the 2010 Olympics. With an entire nation believing…this has to be a game worth its weight in gold.

Things get underway at 12:00 p.m. Pacific, 3:00 p.m. Eastern.

Watch Canada vs. USA Hockey, Win With Siena on Point Spread

What are the Olympic odds for the USA vs. Canada Gold Medal game in men's ice hockey? Canada is -223 at 5 Dimes.

Fantastic sports handicapper Matt Rivers is destroying the bookmakers Siena minus the points. They are laying a whopping 27 points.

I don't endorse laying such a number as this all that often nor do I think the key to success is to eat so much chalk but I truly do not see how this game can be remotely competitive.

No doubt Siena is not going to be all that excited to play this game but 1-27 Marist is so inept and pathetic that it's almost like a borderline top 25 squad in the Saints are playing a High School team today. Chuck Martin's squad is the biggest disaster in Division 1 this season and that is saying a ton. Not only do these guys lose game after game but also they do so in dreadful blowout fashion. If Marist were to play Southeast Missouri State or Fordham, they would get blasted and think about that.

Siena is still easily the class of the conference and the difference in athleticism today is too great for this thing to be at all a challenge. In that last game the Red Foxes scored a whole 14 points at home in the first half and fell 62-39 to St. Peter's.

Fran McCaffrey's team has dropped half of their last four games but I don't exactly think Marist at home can be compared to Butler and Niagara on the road.

There is absolutely no doubt that the Saints will improve to 24-6, as they will get a win here. The only question is when they are up by 30 with 7 minutes to play are they going to win by 40 or just cruise and get backdoored. In my humble opinion I just can't see even the Marist first teamers be able to do anything at all and this thing very easily may have 85-45 written all over it.

The pick: Siena -27 at Bodog

For more information:  I have nailed three straight 400,000* plays: Wednesday (DePaul), Thursday (Youngstown State) and Friday (Fairfield). A rare losing Saturday as Virginia Tech skunked me in a big play but that will mean nothing after nailing my fourth straight 400,000* right here and now.

Three of four winning days and 1.6 million* of profit over the past 43 days for Matt Rivers. Duke and Virginia is the big 400,000* today with a bonus 200,000* on Richmond and Xavier to complete this rock solid 2-0 sweep of the board. Click now to purchase  

 

Bodog Previews ESPN Odds: Villanova vs. Syracuse

Remarkable sports service ScoresOddsPicks has the College Basketball Game of the Year on ESPN. Super book Bodog previews the game.

The Big East regular-season title is on the line Saturday night at Syracuse's Carrier Dome, and there will be 34,616 there to see it – breaking the NCAA record for an on-campus crowd to see a college basketball game. And their Orange have opened as short favorites against Villanova on Bodog's NCAA Basketball Odds  

No. 4 Syracuse (26-2, 7-6 ATS at home), which previously held the NCAA on-campus record for a crowd as well (33,633 for a 2006 game against Villanova), can clinch the Big East title and quite likely a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament with a win. Strangely, however, the Orange's two losses have both come at home this season. And SU has to be a bit concerned about star Wesley Johnson. He has topped 15 points just once in six games this month and is shooting just 20-for-65 from the field (30.8 percent) in that stretch. Still, the Orange should be able to dominate the small Wildcats inside on Saturday night.

No. 7 Villanova (23-4, 5-4 ATS on road) can also win the conference regular-season crown if it wins out. Nova will need a big game from point guard Scottie Reynolds against that Syracuse 2-3 zone defense, and Reynolds has averaged 20.1 points this month. He only averaged 10 points in the two-game sweep of the Orange last year. Fellow starting guard Corey Stokes was issued a citation early Thursday morning for urinating in public, but Villanova Coach Jay Wright said that Stokes, who is averaging 9.0 points and 4.1 rebounds per game, will play Saturday. It's possible that Stokes doesn't start as punishment.

When making your college basketball bet at Bodog on this one, know that the Wildcats have held the upper hand in this series of late, winning at Syracuse in each of the past two seasons as well as five of the past six meetings overall.

Top expert pick on this game: It's Villanova-Syracuse on national TV tonight. ScoresOddsPicks is 20-6 with "named" plays. Get four winners Saturday including the College Basketball Game of the Year for Saturday night. Valparaiso last night makes it 20-6 with named plays. Click now to purchase  

Free Picks Saturday From Top Basketball Handicappers

The free pick section has several other point spread predictions. Will Jim Feist's Game of the Year be good enough to be re-released on Power of 620 sports services behind every selection, the MasterLockLine?

Let's start out the sports handicapping card with a premium sports service winner from GodsTips, the winningest handicapper ever.

They have the Utah Jazz -9.5 versus Houston at Bodog.  Here is why:  Houston of course made a blockbuster trade at the deadline. Such roster turnover means—it's time for one of our most profitable terms—consistently inconsistent. So the fact they are off such a great game last night means they will likely come out flat tonight.

Likewise, with hot Utah off a horrible game last night, they will be out for blood. The thin air of Utah is rough on teams in back to back situations.

Now to forensic sports handicapping founder Stevie Vincent. He has a LEVEL 3 PLAY is on SAN DIEGO over Pepperdine at SportsBook

Forensic ATS information on this game: Pepperdine 0-10 this year after two straight games with 12 or less assists, 3-13 playing second game in a week, 0-7 off three straight conference losses, 0-7 off double digit conference loss, 2-15 off loss, 0-8 to West Coast Conference
