St Kilda -45.5 v North Melbourne ($1.90)
It is a safe proposition to bet against North at every opportunity. They have now lost six straight by at least 47. Their only competent performance against a finals contender this year was a close loss to the Swans. The Saints have the talent to open the shoulders up in this one.

Over 142.5 Port Adelaide v Essendon ($1.88)
Rain is some concern here – no surprise given how low the total is – but it would not surprise if this sailed over the total. The over has hit in 11 of 14 when the Bombers are an underdog of more than five goals. The over has hit in 7 of 9 Port games at the Adelaide Oval when they are off scoring 60 or fewer.
