AFL Round 14 betting update and premiership odds

The final bye round for the 2019 AFL Premiership season will give six teams a well-deserved break and features six great match-ups.

The teams with the bye this week are Adelaide, North Melbourne, Gold Coast, GWS, Richmond and Carlton, which includes two top-four sides and the two bottom clubs.

Latest 2019 AFL Premiership odds

Three of the top four premiership contenders had a bye this last weekend, leaving Geelong and Collingwood with the same odds as a week ago. Surprisingly, West Coast moved out to $8, which may be the team’s highest odds for the rest of the year. Injury-riddled Richmond has effectively left the conversation, opening the door for the Adelaide Crows at $12. Carlton and Gold Coast have been removed from the market completely. Despite sitting one win outside the top eight, the Saints have the worst odds available at $501, which could halve if they defeat the Lions this weekend.
