You're a brave man playing 5 games this week I reckon, Cartman!
Kangaroos -6.5 (1.87)
When I first saw the odds this week, my initial thought was Kangaroos are a bargain at 1.65....I figure they should be able to cover a goal or so.
Based mainly on Port's awful away record this season. They've won just 1 of 7 interstate trips (losing at an average of 45 points!), and even the game they won they had 10 less inside 50's and 2 less shots than St. Kilda on a neutral ground in Tassie.
In those 7 away games, Port have averaged 12.2 less inside 50's than their opp, going inside just 41 times themselves,which won't win you too many games.
Kangaroos have been good lately, being +9.2 inside 50's in their last 5... 3 solid wins and 2 close losses to the top 2 teams.
Port have never beaten the Kangaroos in an 'away' game, and I don't expect them to this time either.
At least we agree that has been one crappy season all 'round! :cursin:
I do like the Crows to win, but covering a spread always scares me!
Starting to like Freo the more the line drops. I know it's Buckley's 250th and all, but I just don't think they have the cattle on the park to compete. Freo just about back to full strength with Matthew Carr back. They really should win easily....
Good luck guys.
