With round 14 coming up in the AFL, our contenders are the Geelong Cats and the Essendon Bombers. Historically, it seems the Cats have enjoyed playing with yarn balls when it comes to the Bombers. The past three matchups all went in favor of the Cats, with margins that wouldn't be too kind in a game of friendly poker.
Geelong Cats have a stronger muscle flex this season, standing tall with a 9-4 record, which lands them in the #4 spot in the AFL standings. It's a clear indication that they are not just there for the half-time snacks. The Essendon Bombers, however, are not so bombastic this season. Their record of 6-6 ties them in the #10 spot in the AFL. Might be time to reconsider their workout playlist.
Take a look at the recent performance, the Cats have been doing the catwalk, winning four of their last five matches. The Bombers, on the other hand, managed to win only two in their last five. Now, if that doesn't scream 'underdog alert', I don't know what does.
Now I know what you're thinking - we love underdogs. And sure, in Hollywood, but this is the AFL, and the Bombers lack that magic dust this time around.
In the world of predictions, we're clear of ties, so let's pop the question: who shall rule the day? Given all the facts, performances, and the latest hair trends in AFL - it's a no brainer.
