Collingwood have beaten West Coast by 29, 63, and 66 points in their last three meetings. The model wants the Pies by fifty-nine this week. The market wants forty-four and a half. That fourteen-and-a-half-point gap is the biggest model-vs-line spread of the round.
West Coast lost their last fixture to Fremantle by 101 points. They sit fifteenth on the ladder at three wins and seven losses. They now back up with a 2,722-kilometre flight from Perth to Melbourne, the longest interstate travel-and-turnaround in the competition. There is no functional defensive structure to slow the Pies down.
Collingwood are mixed against the top of the ladder but they have been ruthless against bottom-eight opposition all year. They average twenty-one more marks per game than the Eagles in head-to-head data and a clear edge in inside fifties. At the MCG, against a side that just shipped 101 points and crossed the country to get here, that translates to scoreboard pressure from the first centre bounce.
The Pies will need to hit the front early and avoid the second-half handbrake that has bitten them against quality opposition. Against the Eagles, that risk is minimal. Collingwood’s midfield is too much for the Eagles to handle.
Take the line. Pies by fifty-nine, market wants forty-four and a half, and the MCG does the rest.
Back the Collingwood Magpies minus forty-four and a half at $1.90; the model has the Pies home by fifty-nine at the MCG, where they have beaten West Coast by 29, 63, and 66 in their last three meetings, and the Eagles arrive off a 2,722-kilometre cross-country trip.
Collingwood have beaten this version of West Coast by 29, 63, and 66 in their last three meetings, and the Eagles arrive after a 2,722-kilometre trip. Take Collingwood minus forty-four and a half at $1.90 and let the model number do the talking.
