Boys, you've been doing good work in here. I've done a little research and this, so I'll pass on the play for me:
Taking: Sweden(-0.5) -280 vs Latvia
...World class players Forsberg and Sundin announced their addition to the squad after their respective NHL teams got bounced out of the Cup race. In total, looks like 9 NHL players for Sweden (including Zetterburg and Norstrom); only 1 NHL player on the Latvian roster (goalie Arturs Irbe). Two of Latvia's better players (Ozolinsh and Zholtok) are still playing in the NHL playoffs.
Looks like a talent mismatch to me. Add in the motivational chip that Sweden will be carrying after their premature exit in the Olympics vs Belarus. Price isn't cheap, but this looks like a winner to me. I'll tip my hat if Irbe stands on his head to deny Sweden.
Good luck.
