I suppose I could have titled this "Odds of Team USA winning the Gold Medal," but you gotta make up your mind one way or the other. I hunted around a bit for today's lines on the Gold Medal game. Canada is favored anywhere from 65-69% over the US, unchanged since the 22nd of February. As I've noted before, I think these odds are optimistic – the bookies are trying to limit their downside by discouraging overly-emotional Canadian fans from laying too much money on Canada. So I assume Canada should be a 60% favorite to win the gold.
In the less exciting Bronze Medal game tonight, Finland is a 57% favorite over Slovakia. Both Finland and Slovakia were highly-underrated after the round-robin, but Slovakia was actually a slight (say 51%) favorite over the Finns earlier in the week.
