Crows have two-day booster as AFL finals betting gathers pace

Adelaide Crows could have time on their side when they take on Collingwood in Saturday's AFL semi-final.

Adelaide have had an eight-day break after their last match, compared to only six days for Collingwood, with betting already hotting up ahead of the MCG clash.

AFL betting markets see Collingwood on 2.08 for the win compared to 1.74 for Adelaide with Centrebet.com.

The same bookmaker has Adelaide on 7.00 for the Premiership, with Collingwood out on 10.00.

The Crows sounded a rally call for their title ambitions by dishing out a 96-point thrashing in their previous elimination final with Essendon.

Friday's semi final sees Brisbane Lions tackling Western Bulldogs, with Brisbane on 3.75 with IASbet compared to 1.27 for the Bulldogs.

The AFL website reports the Bulldogs will be feeling the bulk of the pressure, according to Brisbane utility Tim Notting.

He said: "Obviously the Bulldogs have got all the pressure on them this week because they finished third on the ladder.

"If they were to go out in straight sets then they would have to start and really question themselves, and we’ve got nothing to lose."
