Brisbane vs. Western Bulldogs Predictions

Best Bet

We expect Brisbane to pick up where they left off. They have a complete team, and although money has come for the Bulldogs to keep it close, we can’t see it happening.

Brisbane has the likes of Logan Morris, Charlie Cameron, and Zac Bailey, so there is plenty of firepower to assist their superior defence. We expect the defence to show up and limit the Bulldogs to a low total on Saturday night.

The –13.5 line is in the higher range for the opening week, but Brisbane has won nine of their last 10 night matches, and the Bulldogs would be better suited to playing a day game.

Same Game Multi

Charlie Cameron had a Grand Final to remember with four goals. He thrives on momentum, and he brings plenty to this game. Punters get $2.45 for a 2+ goal performance, which boosts AFL same game multi payouts.

Dayne Zorko should be kept busy throughout the game. He has had 25+ disposals in his last four games, and the $1.74 odds are juicy enough to include in picks.

We’re backing under 165.5. Their last meeting combined for 162 points, and we don’t see the Bulldogs putting up a big total. Conditions play into backing the under, so include it in multis.

Best Value Bet

We expect a low-scoring game between Brisbane and Western Bulldogs, and the final goal count could be around 20.

Most of the goals should come from Brisbane, but they’ll rely on their defence to get the job done. They know that they don’t need 100 points to win AFL games, and with pressure on the Bulldogs, they could fail to execute.

Most of the money has come for the over, but the $2.06 for under 23.5 goals is a good value bet for AFL punters this week.
