The Eagles have struggled enormously on the road this season and will be up against it when they play the Bombers on Sunday at Docklands.
Best Bet
The default position for West Coast games is to back at home, lay on the road and there is much to recommend that approach here.
The Eagles come off back to back losses at home against the Saints and North, and they will be disappointed not to have won at least one of those games.
Essendon also come here off back to back losses, but their defeat against Carlton was better than the final margin suggested.
These teams met seven weeks ago when the Bombers only won by five points, but that game of course was at Perth Stadium.
The Eagles have failed to cover in their last four games on the road and the margins in their away games (excluding Gather Round) this season have been 99, 66, 37, 76 and 50.
Essendon should win this by plenty and look a strong bet at the line.

Langford kicked 3.3 when these teams met earlier in the season and after a couple of goalless outings prior to the bye, he should get back on the scoreboard here.
