The Bombers might be nothing more than cannon fodder for a Swans outfit that has\u00a0just about locked\u00a0up second spot on the ladder.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sydney still has question marks around its style of\u00a0play, but\u00a0roll in choc-full of confidence on the back of three blowout\u00a0wins over GWS, St Kilda, and Port Adelaide.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bombers are still caught up in their coaching search and showing no signs of progression on the field,\u00a0although it was nice to see Zach Merrett among the top disposal-getters last week against Geelong.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With Chad Warner in scintillating form and the Swans looking much-improved defensively over the last month though, this looks like another Sunday blowout in the making.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Swans to Cover (-61.5 Points)\u00a0@\u00a0$1.90<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
