A medal is on the line when Sweden takes on Team USA in the semifinals of women's hockey at the Winter Olympics on Monday.

Opening faceoff is set for 10:40 a.m. ET. The United States is a -7000 favorite (risk $7,000 to win $100) on the money line in the latest Sweden vs. United States odds from DraftKings Sportsbook, while the over/under for total goals scored is 6.5.
Before making any Sweden vs. United States picks, you NEED to see what the SportsLine expert Mike Tierney has to say.
A national sportswriter whose work has appeared in The New York Times and Los Angeles Times, Tierney has covered nine Olympic Games in person. At Rio in 2016, Tierney profited big-time. He told readers to bet over on Team USA's gold medal count (41.5) and over on Team USA's overall medal count (102.5). The result? 46 golds, 121 medals and two easy cashes.
Then, at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Tierney hit two of his three predictions: Germany (+200) to win the most gold medals and the United States winning under 10.5 gold medals (+110). At the last Winter Games in 2022, Tierney cashed in again by backing Team USA to go over 22.5 total medals (-110) as the Americans claimed 25 overall medals.
Now, Tierney has set his sights on the Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy. He's leaning Over on the total, and found a critical x-factor in USA vs. Sweden in women's hockey and has locked in a best bet on one side!
