Sydney are humming. Five wins on the bounce, top of the ladder at 8-1, and a forward line that has put up 97, 131, 60, 107 and 100 across their last five outings.
Collingwood sit tenth at 4-4-1 with a draw to Hawthorn and a 122-68 hammering by Geelong in the rear-vision mirror. The Pies have the older list and the bigger name brand, but the form table does not care about that. Sydney have momentum at 122.8 to Collingwood’s 89.6, and the SCG in May is one of the toughest road trips in the comp.
The model has Sydney by 37. The market has it at 29.5. That is a 7.5-point gap on the favourite, which is the kind of value the model is built to exploit when one side is rolling and the other is patchy.
History between these two has been tight, Sydney won the last meeting 102-69 but lost the one before by 31. The current form line says ignore the history. Swans by 37, line is 29.5, take the cover.
Back the Sydney Swans minus 29.5 at $1.91; the model has the ladder-leading Swans winning by 37 at home against a Collingwood side coming off a loss and a draw in their last two.
Sydney are the form team and they are at home. Take the Swans minus twenty-nine and a half at $1.91 and let the SCG do the rest.
