Alright, footy punters, let's talk Jai Newcombe for this Sunday's clash between the Hawks and the Eagles at Optus Stadium. Now, when it comes to racking up the kicks, Newcombe has been a real workhorse on the field. With a model prediction of 12.3 kicks for this game and a history of hitting that mark consistently, it's hard to ignore the value here.
Sure, the line is set at 9.5, but when you look at Newcombe's average and the confidence level of the model, the Over seems like a no-brainer. Playing away might give some pause, but this young gun has shown he can bring the heat no matter the venue.
So, if you fancy a solid bet with a high probability of hitting, backing Jai Newcombe to go Over 9.5 kicks could be the play to make this weekend. Keep an eye on this rising star as he looks to make his mark in Perth.
