Carlton currently leads the league with a 7-1 first-half record, while St Kilda stands at 4-4. Seven of Carlton’s eight games this season have gone under the total points line, averaging 160.4. Their last three encounters with St Kilda also stayed under (142, 127, and 150 points, respectively). St Kilda is coming off a 127-point performance, making them intriguing value for a full-time upset. Betting suggestion: Same Game Multi (odds of 12.00):
