Eight-Point Tip, Thirteen-and-a-Half-Point Line, and the Value Sits with Carlton Getting the Start.
This one is between two sides that have hit a wall. Carlton sit sixteenth at 1-8 and have lost their last five on the bounce. The Bulldogs sit ninth at 5-4 but have lost four in a row, including a 60-126 hammering from Sydney and a 131-56 reverse against Geelong.
The ladder gap is real, but the form line is closer than the line suggests. Momentum sits at 83.3 to 81.5, with the Blues actually tracking slightly ahead. Win percentages in the last five are 0 percent and 20 percent, and the only difference is the Bulldogs got over Yartapuulti by 2 points back in early April.
The model has the Dogs by 8. The market has it at 13.5. That is a 5.5-point gap on the favourite, which is sizeable when both sides are bleeding. Carlton are at home at Marvel and the points sit well inside the model number.
Take the Blues plus 13.5. The Dogs probably get there, but they are unlikely to get there by two converted goals.
Carlton vs Western Bulldogs Tip
Back Carlton plus 13.5 at $1.92; the model has the Bulldogs winning by 8 at Marvel Stadium, well inside a market line of 13.5 that prices the Blues out of a contest the numbers say will be tight.
