Power vs Cats Prediction: 88 Points Last Time – Not This Time
Geelong belted Port by 88 last time they met. And 76 the time before that. And 84 in a finals week one. The books have clearly anchored to that carnage – and that’s exactly where the value is.
Port’s 2-4 record looks ugly, but three of those losses came by a combined 19 points. This is a competitive side losing tight ones, not a team getting blown off the park. The market’s treating them like the mob that got pantsed by the Cats in those recent meetings.
Geelong’s contested possession edge is real – nearly 16 more per game – and their clearance work will cause Port problems through the middle. That’s how they build leads. But Adelaide Oval in calm, dry conditions suits Port’s marking game, and they’re actually more efficient with the footy when they get it.
The risk is Port’s momentum. They’re flat, Geelong are rolling, and if the Cats get on top early at centre bounces this could snowball like those previous encounters.
But 27.5 points is an enormous head start for a team that’s been competitive in most of their losses. Our model says 12. The line says 28. That’s 15 points of air. Get on Port with the points.
Power vs Cats Tip
Geelong win but Port Adelaide cover the 27.5-point line comfortably, with our model seeing just a 12-point margin in a game the books have wildly overpriced.
