Carlton are favourite and I’m not going to argue with…

Gold Coast are the better side and they are at home in Darwin where they have a record of feeding off the heat and the travel premium. Sixth on the ladder at 6-3, they are the favourite. That part is not in dispute.
The dispute is the margin. Our model has the Suns by 12. The line is 25.5. That is a 13.5-point gap on the favourite, which is the largest model-versus-market disagreement on the entire Round 10 card.
Port Adelaide sit fourteenth at 3-6 and the recent form has been ugly. Four losses in the last five, with three of them by 5 points or fewer. That is the tell. The Power are not getting blown out. They are losing close games. A 25.5-point start against a Suns side that won 100-68 against the Power earlier in the season but only by 14 the time before is generous.
Momentum is 85.7 to 87.7, almost dead level. Take the points.
Back Port Adelaide plus 25.5 at $1.91; the model has the Suns winning by only 12 at TIO, well inside a market line of 25.5 that prices Port out of the contest.
Suns by 12 on the model, 25.5 on the line. Back Port Adelaide plus twenty-five and a half at $1.91 and the points do the talking.
LOCK IT IN: Port Adelaide Power +25.5 @ $1.91
