Certainty and why: Adelaide will win comfortably. Just way too good for the Eagles in every facet.

Upset and why: The Cats have a couple of injuries going into this clash and the Dogs are in red-hot form, so happy to be tipping the away side. Reckon the Dees can get over the top of the Swans, too.
