Four-Win Form, an Adelaide Oval Fortress, and a Roos Side That Has Not Won Outside Round 8.

Adelaide are eighth at 5-4 but the form line is much hotter than the ladder reads. Four wins in their last five, with the only blemish a 127-75 hammering from cross-town rivals Port. Take that out and the Crows are 4 from 4 with a points-for line of 90 a game.

North Melbourne sit twelfth at 4-5 and the recent form is grim. One win in the last five, losses to Sydney, Geelong, GWS and Brisbane in that window. The Kangaroos are the worst-defended side in the comp on this snapshot, and Adelaide Oval is one of the toughest road decks going around.

Elo gives Adelaide a 351-point edge. That is enormous. The Crows have also beaten the Roos in both of their most recent meetings, including a 114-78 result at Adelaide Oval. Same venue, similar form, the model says 26 and the market line of 18.5 sits well inside that number.

The Crows cover.

Adelaide vs North Melbourne Tip
