AFL Bets and Odds, Round 2

Western Bulldogs to defeat St Kilda at $1.56

The Western Bulldogs are heading into their game against St Kilda looking to bounce back after a first-round defeat at the hands of Melbourne.

St Kilda defeated Fremantle in a low-scoring affair at Marvel Stadium, but the Dogs' midfield should be too strong for the Saints, and our model favours the Western Bulldogs to beat St Kilda, and has found an edge with the odds currently on offer at Betfair.

Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda is at Marvel Stadium on Saturday, March 25 at 7:25pm AEDT. 

Fremantle -31.5 line bet against North Melbourne at $2.26

Two teams with contrasting results meet on Saturday night with Fremantle looking to win at home after a disappointing loss last week. North Melbourne are fresh off a narrow victory over West Coast, and while the fan base would be happy with the win, it was far from impressive from an objective perspective.

The Dockers will be keen to atone and at home against weak opposition our model has identified Fremantle at the line of -31.5 against North Melbourne as one of the best AFL bets of the weekend.

Gold Coast +9.5 line bet against Essendon at $1.98

Essendon could not have been more impressive in their win against Hawthorn, and by contrast, the Gold Coast's loss to Sydney was equally as disappointing.

Both of these teams are much closer in terms of quality across their lists than the odds would suggest, and with the Suns looking to put up a much more prideful performance and the Bombers coming off the high of a Round 1 win over an arch-rival, the potential for a close game is on the cards.

Gold Coast at the +9.5 line against Essendon on Sunday is an edge our model has found and is backing to be successful this Sunday.
