Australian Rules Football: ZakPRB AFL Check Marks.

166

I have loved Australian Rules Football since I first saw the AFL Grand final while I was traveling on a bus tour throughout Europe with a clan of Australians. With the holdout in North America, I couldn’t find a better time to deeper look into the world of footy! Let’s drop the ball on today’s action. All lines are from FanDuel Sportsbook. I will be playing all the picks I suggest.

Checkmarks or exes: (3-0)
So far it’s all checkmarks as Colling wood comes out with 86-34 victory crushing the money line and the goal line with a 52 point victory. Let’s see if we can catch some more marks on today’s AFL action.

Essendon Bombers (-205) versus Fremantle Dockers (+172) over/under (144.5) 11:10 EST Saturday
The line on this AFL game is 14.5 at -110 in favor of the Essendon Bombers. That total has been beaten two of the last three games where Essendon won by thirty-two, seven and twenty-nine in the last three games. The under has hit in the last two of three as well with game totals of 142, 113 and 169.
The play I am going to mark in is Essendon GOAL LINE -14.5 and the Under 144.5

Adelaide Crows (-140) versus the Sidney Swans (+118) over/under 144.5 2:05 am EST Sunday
Over the past five games between these two clubs, the total has never gone under 150 points. I have noticed a general trend that scoring has gone down over the past five seasons, however, I do not believe it will be drastic enough to go under the 144.5 total tonight. Adelaide has won three of the last five games between these squads by no less than ten points.
As confident I am in the over the total for tonight my pick will be Adelaide Crows GOAL LINE -5.5 (-110)

Gold Coast Suns (+198) versus Port Adelaide Power (-240) over/under (147.5) 4:40am EST Sunday
This series has been a mismatch for the last five years with the power clearly on Port Adelaide’s side. The Gold coast Suns have not come within twenty-three points of a win in the last five meetings, and that defeat came five seasons ago. With the goal line sitting at sixteen and a half points, I like our chances there. With the goal total only going above the 147.5 marks one of the last three years, that being three seasons ago, and as we have mentioned, scoring has decreased. I don’t feel good about either here.
The pick in this AFL game tonight is on the Port Adelaide GOAL LINE -16.5 (-110)

West Coast Eagles (-270) versus Melbourne Demons (+220) 3:40am EST Monday
Seeing as I am double picking the last article and this article because I am not quite used to the time difference yet, I’ll fire up a third fresh pick for this article. This will also finish out the week, or Round one of this seventeen round 2020 season. The Eagles have won the last three in a row with the last two being sixteen and thirteen point victories. With the goal line being twenty and a half, this makes me a little nervous being the first week of the season as the trends don’t align. What I do like in this game is the Over as all five of the last five games have gone over the 150.5 marks. The totals for the last five seasons have been 195, 199, 176, 154, and last season 169.
The consensus picks to complete round one, over 150.5 game total.

Thank you all for taking the time to read! Hopefully, you have stayed up to watch a couple of games and have fallen in love with the chaos as much as I have. I hope you all are staying safe and staying well!
