Sydney vs. Brisbane Predictions

Best Bet
We were impressed by Sydney’s win over Carlton last week, but Brisbane is the best team in the AFL at bouncing back from a loss, so our AFL tips include Brisbane +14.5.
They were right in the contest against the Western Bulldogs when losing 111-106, and we’re happy to forgive the loss. It’s never easy to win the first game of the season following a premiership year, so punters shouldn’t hold that loss over their heads.
Bouncing back to beat Sydney won’t be easy, but their last two meetings were decided by less than five points, so we expected a close contest. We priced the Lions at +8.5, so getting a +14.5 start is more than enough to back the visitors with confidence.

Same Game Multi
Logan Morris looked good for Brisbane with a three-goal effort last week. He was the standout goal scorer for the defending champions, and the $1.58 for him to score 2+ goals is a good AFL multi bet inclusion.
Charlie Curnow had a dream start for his new team. He kicked three goals for Sydney, and the rangy forward should fancy his chances of repeating that effort. He’s a $1.88 pick to kick 3+ goals on Saturday night.
Their last two games went under 186.5 points, and it could be another tight defensive battle in the midfield. Include the under in Sydney vs. Brisbane same game multi picks.

Best Value Bet
Our AFL picks are confident of Brisbane playing a lot better than last week, and it could be enough to secure the win in Sydney.
The Swans might be due for a letdown spot after a high energy win over Carlton, and they haven’t been the most consistent team over the last few years.
Sleeping on the Lions is never wise, so take the $3.30 for a halftime/fulltime win.
