00:00USA versus Latvia.
00:03USA are three-and-a-half goal favorites.
00:05The total is six-and-a-half.
00:08They're minus 2,800 on the money line, so 28-to-1.
00:12It's not even worth putting, like, you know, you can't put it in a parlay.
00:16What are you doing with USA Latvia?
00:18I mean, what can you do?
00:19My numbers are worse here.
00:21We've got 3,000 here in New York, and 650 on the goal line is a little bit better.
00:25I mean, you can parlay it, but when are we going to parlay it?
00:28I hope Germany can beat Denmark as well.
00:31I guess I can go that direction, but there's not a lot you can do with that.
00:34I think this is a prop game.
00:35You know, that's where I'll go with, hoping I get the goal scorers correct there.
00:39It's tough for me because I love parlays, but it's not like an NHL Thursday night
00:43where I'm going to have a pro game.
00:45Well, you have different options.
00:47I don't know how many books you have,
00:49but I know FanDuel doesn't have a lot of different alt lines and stuff like that.
00:53Like, I saw FanDuel has USA minus one-and-a-half, minus 700.
00:57All right, I guess you could parlay that if you wanted to,
00:59but I'm telling you right now, guys, for me, the best bet in this game is the under.
01:04I don't think Latvia are going to be able to score much,
01:08and Latvia, like, do have an NHL goalie, and a good one, too.
01:12In fact, they got two good NHL goalies, but Mercerkin's going to be the guy.
01:17He's good, and Latvia, you saw it with Italy.
01:19You saw it with Slovakia today.
01:23It'll be the same thing.
01:24They're going to get outshot.
01:25USA are going to pepper them with shots and stuff like that.
01:29But I think they can cover the three-and-a-half, George,
01:32but I think the under six-and-a-half is the bet here.
01:35I've got USA winning this game like 4-0 tomorrow.
01:39Well, that means they don't cover the three-and-a-half.
01:42The under three-and-a-half goal is the best.
01:44I think USA's scoring more than four goals.
01:45I think they're scoring more than four.
01:47I don't know if I'm going to take the over six-and-a-half.
01:49I think it's a big game as far as the goaltending for USA
01:52because the hell of a thing needs to come up big and show that he can win
01:54these big games, you know, since we haven't seen in the past here.
01:59I could see USA scoring five, six goals.
02:01So I'm not taking the under.
02:03I'm just not.
02:04I don't know if we're going to get a shutout here.
02:05I just don't.
02:06I think they're not going to score that much.
02:08I don't think they score that much.
02:09You're going to see it.
02:10It's going to be – Latvia beat Canada in the world championships last year.
02:13And Canada had Sidney Crosby, Nate McKinnon, and Macklin Salabrini on the team.
02:17They lost 2-1.
02:19Latvia are going to shut this game down.
02:21They're just going to slow it down.
02:23What are these teams that are losing going to pull the goalie?
02:25Maybe we have the goal differential here.
02:27It's important.
02:28I mean, it's not going to be like the NHL.
02:29We've got these guys pulling the goalie five, six minutes left.
02:31I don't think it's early in the tournament.
02:34But I'm going to do that as well.
02:36That is a problem for underbetters in the Olympics.
02:39The coaches are insane pulling the goalies.
02:41Top goal scorer, George, USA.
02:43Who's it going to be?
02:45It's tough not to go with someone like Austin Matthews because you and I just –
02:48you just said it.
02:49I think there's going to be a ton of shots, ton of shots here.
02:51And Matthews was pretty hot before the break in the NHL.
02:54Whatever was ailing him in the first half of the season seems not to be.
02:57I'll go with Austin Matthews.
02:59I'm going to go Tage Thompson.
03:00He's getting like 10-1.
03:02Tage Thompson.
03:03Maybe he gets a hat trick in one game and he gets a head start
03:06or something like that.
