Canada is virtually a touchdown favorite in today’s World Junior hockey game against Switzerland (3:30 p.m. ET, TSN).

Online sportsbook Bet365.com is not listing straight moneyline odds for today’s game. Instead, the British book is offering only puckline odds, which essentially combines a goal spread with moneyline odds.

Team Canada, who crushed Latvia 16-0 on Saturday, is listed at -6.5 1.90 at Bet365.com. This means Canada is a 6.5-goal favorite. In other words, Canada must win by at least seven goals to cover the spread.

If Canada were to win by seven or more, a $100 wager on Team Canada would payout $90.

On the flipside, the Swiss are listed at +6.5 1.76. This mean the Swiss could lose by up to six goals and still cover the spread. If they were to cover, a $100 bet on the Swiss would payout $76.

Bwin.com does have straight moneyline odds, but you’re going to have to wager big bucks in order to make some money.

Team Canada is listed as a 1.02 favorite at the European book. This means you would have to risk $5,000 in order to win $100. The Swiss are listed as 18.00 dogs, which means a $100 bet on Switzerland would pay $1,700 if the Swiss were to pull off a miracle.

Both books have set the over/under at 8.5.
