Western Bulldogs vs. Carlton Predictions

Ended

We have Western Bulldogs vs. Carlton predictions for AFL Round 23 on Sunday, August 16 at 3:15pm at Marvel Stadium.

There isn’t much between the Bulldogs and Blues with AFL odds, in what should be a competitive game on Sunday afternoon.

Best Bet

Carlton -24.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

Punters got value odds for Carlton against St Kilda last week, and the -24.5 line against the Bulldogs is another value line from bookmakers.

Carlton has turned its form around after three straight wins over St Kilda, Brisbane, and Gold Coast. It would be a shame if they didn’t make the wild card playoffs, but a win over the Bulldogs will take them a long way.

The Blues would love to leapfrog the Bulldogs, who sit in 9th on the ladder, and they have a team good enough. Their win over Brisbane was excellent, and although they could have slipped up against St Kilda last week, they put on a clinic to win 106-62.

We predict Carlton winning and covering the -24.5 spread with another lock-down performance on defence.

Same Game Multi

Carlton -24.5, Harry McKay 3+ Goals, Mitch McGovern 2+ Goals, Total Points Under 174.5 @ $15.00

Bet Now

Punters get value odds for Harry McKay to kick 3+ goals for the third consecutive game. He’s playing well for Carlton, and the $2.55 odds are much better than expected from bookmakers, so include him as a value bet for AFL SGM picks.

Mitch McGovern has also enjoyed a lot of success recently, including nine goals from his last five games. Punters get $1.73 for McGovern to kick 2+ goals, and we’re lapping up the value for the Blues players.

The Bulldogs could struggle to put up a decent score, so under 174.5 points is a solid inclusion. Six of the last seven Bulldogs’ games have gone under the total.

Best Value Bet

Marc Pittonet 2+ Goals @ $10.50

Bet Now

Marc Pittonet isn’t a noted goal scorer for Carlton, but that didn’t stop him from kicking two goals last week against St Kilda.

He got stuck into the action with two impressive goals, and he now has three goals in his last two games.

He’s playing well, and punters get $10.50 for him to kick 2+ goals, so he’s worth including as a value bet.
