Best Bet

Brisbane -24.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The two-time reigning premiers are back to their best after posting nine wins from their last 10 games, and it came at the right time.

They bounced back from a tough loss to Carlton with easy wins over Hawthorn and Gold Coast, and although Collingwood won’t roll over and let them win easily, momentum is with the visitors, hence the current line.

Bookmakers have the Lions at -24.5 on the road, which is a big line, but there is a lot of confidence in the Lions’ camp. There is also a case to be made about Collingwood playing the wild card round regardless of the result, so they might lack energy.

It’s a tough game to predict, but based on recent results, we’re backing Brisbane to come away with a dominant road victory, which will set them up nicely for the finals.

Same Game Multi

Brisbane -24.5, Charlie Cameron 2+ Goals, Zac Bailey 2+ Goals, Total Points Over 181.5 @ $7.00

Bet Now

Charlie Cameron is enjoying a run of goal kicking success, having kicked 12 goals from his last five games. We expect Country Roads to be belted out a few times, so he’s worth including in AFL SGM picks at the current odds.

Punters get value odds for Zac Bailey 2+ goals at $1.89. He isn’t having the most consistent year, but he kicked three goals against Port Adelaide, and he should get every chance to have a big game on Friday night.

Brisbane’s last four games at the MCG have gone over the total, so include over 181.5 in AFL predictions this week.

Best Value Bet

Brisbane 40+ @ $2.60

Bet Now

There is enough value in the $2.60 odds for Brisbane to win by 40+ points, so we’re including them as our best value bet.

They couldn’t have been more impressive in their latest meeting against Collingwood at the Gabba when winning 119-65, which is a good form guide.

Something close to that is enough to see Brisbane win by 40+, and considering the circumstances, they could dominate Collingwood from the outset.
