Essendon Bombers vs North Melbourne Kangaroos Odds
Essendon Bombers vs North Melbourne Kangaroos Preview
It’s fair to say that North Melbourne are probably one of the hardest teams to tip at the moment. They’re capable of beating a team like GWS yet have gone on to lose their next three games.
On paper this game looks pretty even and if North Melbourne bring their best it’s probably enough to beat the Bombers. But we haven’t seen there best in a month so they’re to hard to tip.
We’re going with the Bombers but with no confidence whatsoever.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Essendon to win at $1.60 odds.
