Canada vs. USA Olympic Hockey odds were expected to be in high demand if this past week's matchup between these two teams was any example.  The faceoff was the single most watched program ever on Canadian television.

The Americans beat the favored Canadians 5-3 in a preliminary-round game last Sunday.  Despite that win by Team USA, they come into the championship game as an underdog.  Whether the "revenge" factor has played a part in determining the odds is not immediately known.

"I don't think you need revenge when you're going into a final," said Canada forward Sidney Crosby. "The two teams know each other pretty well. There aren't going to be any surprises.

"If you looked at the first game, it was pretty intense and pretty emotional. You put it up a level with it being a final, and it should be a good one."

A 7-3 victory over Russia on Wednesday and a win against Slovakia has helped to generate more momentum for the Canadians. 

"The Russian thing was very exciting just because that's what we grew up thinking about all the time, but I think the U.S.-Canada thing is reality," Canada coach Mike Babcock said. "I think you're going to see a lot of this in the future. They've got a good young team and they're rolling. They just crushed the other team today, so it should be a lot of fun and they must be the favorite coming in."

Team Canada insists they are going to be a different team than the one who met the United States earlier in the week.

''We're a lot better,'' defenseman Drew Doughty said. ''We've really grown. ... I think this game will be a little bit different.''

Canada vs. USA Olympic Hockey betting is expected to generate significant volume for online bookmakers and even those in Las Vegas during what is typically seen as a brief slow period between the Super Bowl, Oscars and March Madness.

Iowa State: Are They The Underdogs To Look For In March Madness?

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
