Draftstars are hosting a $50,000 fantasy sports contest for the Port Adelaide vs. Carlton game on Thursday night. Entry is $15 and payouts go to the top 25% of participants.

Port Adelaide

Port Adelaide vs. Carlton

Carlton

Both teams enter with LLWWL form, but the visitors are at a disadvantage. Carlton is missing key players Harry McKay and Sam Walsh for another month. Charlie Curnow played last week but didn’t score in their upset loss to North Melbourne. Carlton has a 1-4 record as an away underdog in the last year, while Port Adelaide is 6-3 as a home favorite. Port Adelaide has won four of the last six home games against Carlton. The Power’s last five victories were by 1-39 points, and seven of Carlton’s last eight away losses were by 1-39 points. Specifically, six of Carlton’s last eight away losses were by 1-24 points. I recommend backing Port Adelaide head-to-head at 1.72 (bet365). For a higher risk, consider Port Adelaide 1-39 at 2.35 (Dabble) or Port Adelaide 1-24 at 3.30 (Dabble).

Sydney

Sydney vs. Western Bulldogs

Western Bulldogs

Both teams come in with WLWLLWW form. Sydney has averaged 162.3 total points at the SCG this season, with no game exceeding 172 points, leading to five of their six home games going under the total. Six of their last seven games saw more behinds than goals. Seven of the last eight SCG meetings between Sydney and the Western Bulldogs went under the total,
