Preview:
The Brisbane Lions are into $9 to win the AFL Premiership and their popularity in Brisbane is the greatest that it has been in a decade.
Brisbane go into this clash on the back of four straight wins and they have been absolutely outstanding away from home against GWS and Port Adelaide over the past fortnight.
The Lions have been one of the most reliable betting teams in the entire competition this season and they have generally got the job done as favourites.
Brisbane have won five of their past six games as home favourites for a clear profit and they are 4-2 against the line in this scenario.
North Melbourne’s finals aspirations took a hit when they went down to Essendon last weekend and this is the type of game that they need to win if they are going to finish inside the top four.
The Kangaroos have played some decent football away from home this season and they have covered the line in five of their past eight games as away underdogs for a profit.
The betting play that does appeal in this clash is the Over in Total Points betting.
The line has been set at 167.5 points and that mark has been cleared in the past five matches played between these two teams.
