The United States comes into the 2010 Olympic Games on the heels of a disappointing eighth place finish in Torino with a team that could legitimately challenge for a medal.<\/p>\n<p>Switzerland, on the other hand will be happy to keep their Round Robin games close.<\/p>\n<p>The United States is one of only two teams in the Olympic tournament comprised only of NHL players \u2013\u00a0 Canada being the other. The USA forwards are a young and talented bunch, boasting the likes of Patrick Kane, Phil Kessel and Zack Parise. The Defense is young and talented with the two Johnsons (Erik and Jack), but without a doubt, the team\u2019s strength is in Goal.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Miller is at or near the top of every NHL goaltending category this year and could be the key to a long run for Team USA at this year\u2019s Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Hard Core Hockey fans remember what Dominik Hasek was able to accomplish in Nagano in 1998.

They are a solid bunch and should roll over Team Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>Team Switzerland has two NHL&#8217;ers on its roster, the same amount as it did in the 2006 Torino games. In that year, the Swiss were expected to be doormats for their competition, but instead played tough. They rode their hot goaltending to a sixth place finish \u2013\u00a0ahead of Canada and the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The Swiss will start Anaheim Ducks goaltender Jonas Hiller in net in the hopes of slowing down the American team.<\/p>\n<p>Team Switzerland was the Cinderella Story of the 2006 Games and with Hiller between the pipes; they might have a shot at legitimacy once again.<\/p>\n<p>In Tuesday\u2019s game against the Americans however, they should be beaten soundly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>USA vs. Switzerland Free Gambling Pick<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Spread and the Over are Solid bets in favor of the American team in this game.
