AI Analysis

SUBSCRIBERS

Hawthorn Hawks vs Brisbane Lions: Josh Ward Over 2.5 Marks (-250)

Odds available at Sportsbet at time of publishing

The odds for Josh Ward to get over 2.5 marks in the game against the Brisbane Lions look pretty solid at -250. Our numbers think he's a strong favorite to hit that mark, especially since he typically grabs more than twice the usual amount of marks in games like this. His stats show he's really good at catching the ball, which makes this bet feel promising. A bit of caution, though: sometimes the competition can be really close, and the Lions are known for their strong defense. Still, with Ward's ability to bring in so many marks, this bet has a good chance of coming through.
