Western Bulldogs vs. West Coast Predictions

Best Bet

Western Bulldogs –70.5 @ $1.90

Punters will need to muster plenty of heart to back the Bulldogs at –70.5, which is a tough line to cover, but we can’t bet on the West Coast Eagles.

They are not a good footy team, and the last time they faced the Bulldogs, they lost by 76 points. That adds to our confidence, especially when West Coast is likely to only score around 30-40 points.

The Bulldogs will only need to score around 110 points to cover the spread for punters, and after narrowly getting past Melbourne last week, there is plenty to prove on Sunday afternoon for the favourites.

It’s not our strongest bet of Round 23, but the Dogs are worth including in AFL picks.

Same Game Multi

Western Bulldogs –70.5, Rhylee West 2+ Goals, Matthew Kennedy 6+ Tackles, Total Match Points Under 183.5 @ $10.00

There isn’t much value with the goal kicking options for the Bulldogs, who are all at skinny odds. However, we found the $1.64 for Rhylee West to kick 2+ goals worth including in AFL multis.

He has 10 goals from his last five games, so he’s going at a good average, and he won’t lack opportunities to kick goals on Sunday.

We also like Matthew Kennedy to make 6+ tackles. He had six last week, and he recorded back-to-back games with nine tackles earlier this year. That’s good enough form to include him in picks.

Under 183.5 is included because we can’t see West Coast scoring many points.

Best Value Bet

Sam Darcy First Goal Scorer @ $5.90

$5.90 is about as short as you’ll see for a first goal scorer, but Sam Darcy is a scoring machine for the Bulldogs.

He has 24 goals from his last five games, including five goals last week, and he’s their biggest scoring threat early in the game.

It’s worth putting a bet on Darcy at the odds.
