Best Bet

Carlton –12.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

Carlton isn’t having an enjoyable time of it recently after posting three consecutive wins, but a bounce back is likely against Port Adelaide.

The Blues weren’t beaten much by Fremantle and Gold Coast, and the loss to Fremantle only came late in the fourth quarter. If they produce a similar effort on Saturday, they should put the Power to the sword.

The Power come off four consecutive losses to fall to 12^th on the AFL ladder, and they were awful when losing 133-35 to Adelaide. That was a shocking performance, so if Carlton is anywhere near its best, it should win and cover the spread.

Same Game Multi

Carlton -12.5, Francis Evans 2+ Goals, Willie Rioli 2+ Goals, Total Match Points Under 172.5 @ $23.25

Bet Now

Punters get massive odds for our Carlton vs. Port Adelaide same game multi. The $23.25 is boosted by Francis Evans and Willie Rioli, who are our best bets to score 2+ goals.

Evans has turned his form around with six goals from his last two games, and he has benefitted from Charlie Curnow’s absence. He is a $2.10 chance to score 2+ goals, and he could give the Blues a chance to win.

Rioli has eight goals from his last four games, including two last week against Fremantle. He’s playing well enough to justify the $2.35 odds, which are better than expected.

We’re also including under 172.5 points in what should be a low-scoring contest.

Best Value Bet

Carlton 40+ @ $3.90

Bet Now

Winning games at the end of the year is all about building for next year, and if Carlton wants to see its fans return, it needs to produce the goods.

The Blues have every chance to put up a big number on Port Adelaide, and after the Power played well last week without winning, they should find it tough to muster the same effort on Saturday.

The $3.90 odds are generous enough to include as a value bet.
