Geelong Cats vs Carlton Blues: Matthew Cottrell Over 1.5 Tackles (-222)
Odds available at sportsbet at time of publishing
The odds for Matthew Cottrell to make over 1.5 tackles look solid. He's been part of a Carlton team that wins the contested ball by a good margin, which means they often have the ball and are involved in more plays. Plus, Carlton has been pretty strong lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games. This gives Cottrell plenty of chances to rack up tackles.
On top of that, Geelong has had some trouble with their defense, allowing a fair number of points. The risk here is that the game could be tightly contested, which might limit Cottrell's opportunities. Still, given how well he and Carlton have been performing, this bet feels like a strong choice.
