USA vs. Canada Odds & Total

Bookmakers Review: How has the volume been on the USA vs. Canada final, what are sharps betting?

Linesman Jack S.: We are seeing twice the volume on the USA vs Canada game then we would on a normal NHL game. Sharp money came in early on Canada, and recreational money followed. Currently about 70% of the handle favors Canada, and 62% of the money on the over. We do expect to see some late USA money but right now Team Canada seems to be the consensus play.

USA vs. Canada Free Pick

The consensus among BMR’s betting experts is that Canada will come out flying and force USA into a reactive game plan where they may have to play catch up, and so the over 5.5 goals scored is the recommended pick on the game.
