Best Bet

Collingwood @ $1.90

Bet Now

Collingwood has a knack of winning big games, and although we’re only mid-season, it shapes as a big contest against Melbourne.

With three losses and a draw from their last five games, the Magpies need to get a move on, and this is an ideal situation for them to succeed. They’re playing a Melbourne team coming off consecutive losses, and they played in hot conditions in Alice Springs last week.

Fatigue could set in early for the Demons, and they lost The Big Freeze last year, so that will play on their minds. The 72-71 loss showcased Collingwood’s ability to win big games, and they followed it up with another win over Melbourne in August last year.

As the odds suggest, a close game is expected, but Collingwood should edge clear in the second half, so take the $1.90 odds before it shortens on game day.

Same Game Multi

Collingwood H2H, Nick Daicos 2+ Goals, Brody Mihocek 2+ Goals, Total Points Under 179.5 @ $9.50

Bet Now

Nick Daicos often delivers under pressure, and we have the Collingwood leader scoring 2+ goals. He pays a healthy $2.18 to kick a double, and we expect him to make his mark on this game in the scoring department.

The same goes for Brody Mihocek, who pays $1.99 to kick 2+ goals. He should keep Melbourne in the contest, and although we have the Demons losing, we’d be surprised if Mihocek didn’t score a double.

A tight defensive battle should eventuate, so under 179.5 points is a good AFL SGM bet addition to boost payouts.

Best Value Bet

Collingwood/Melbourne/Collingwood/Collingwood @ $34.00

Bet Now

This is a tough bet to cash, but we’re happy to take the risk. We have Collingwood leading at quarter time before Melbourne takes the halftime lead.

However, we expect Collingwood to play its best in the second half, where they should regain control and kick clear for the victory.

$34 is a fair price for a bet that requires everything to go right, but it’s fun bet worth including in AFL picks this week.
