Prediction: St Kilda Saints VS Melbourne Demons 2025-06-01

The Melbourne Demons, riding a hot streak with five wins in their last six games, are looking to take down the struggling St Kilda Saints in Alice Springs. With their newfound emphasis on "love" and culture, the Demons are clicking on all cylinders, thanks in part to the electrifying play of Kysaiah Pickett.

As for the Saints, well, let's just say they're not exactly setting the world on fire, with five defeats in their past six games. The Demons, on the other hand, have jumped from 14th to 11th on the ladder and are looking to square their ledger at 6-6.

The odds are firmly in Melbourne's favor, with DraftKings listing them at 1.5 to win, and Bovada offering a similarly short 1.45. The spread is set at -13.5 for the Demons, with BetUS offering a slightly more generous -12.5.

My best bet for this matchup? Take the Melbourne Demons to cover the spread. With their recent form and the Saints' struggles, I'm confident the Demons will come out on top by at least 13 points. The Demons' offense, led by Pickett, should be able to exploit the Saints' defense and put up a big score.

Best Bet: Melbourne Demons -13.5 (DraftKings, 1.87) or Melbourne Demons -12.5 (BetUS, 1.87)
