### Recommended Parlay: North Melbourne -10.5 + Under 152.5 + North Melbourne to Win
Combined Odds: ~4.75 (DraftKings)
Why This Works:
- North Melbourne’s Form: Coming off a six-point loss to Fremantle but with only one positional change, the Kangaroos are fresh and motivated. Jordan Lewis, a four-time premiership winner, tipped North Melbourne to win, citing their recent form and Carlton’s injury concerns.
- Carlton’s Pressure: The Blues (6-7) need a win to stay in top-eight contention, but they’ve lost their last five games against North Melbourne and three straight at the MCG.
- Defensive Edge: North Melbourne’s recent close loss suggests a tight defensive game. The Under 152.5 total (1.83) aligns with this narrative, especially if North Melbourne’s defense limits Carlton’s scoring.
- Spread Value: The -10.5 spread (1.83) is aggressive but achievable given North Melbourne’s form and Carlton’s struggles. A 10+ point win would cover the line and validate the parlay.

### Rationale
- North Melbourne to Win (1.43): The Kangaroos are the clear favorites, with stronger recent form and fewer injuries.
- North Melbourne -10.5 (1.83): Their defensive structure and Carlton’s offensive inconsistencies make this spread a solid bet.
- Under 152.5 (1.83): A low-scoring game is likely if North Melbourne’s defense holds and Carlton’s offense falters under pressure.

Final Verdict: This three-leg parlay offers ~4.75x returns with a balanced risk/reward profile. It leverages North Melbourne’s dominance in the matchup, their defensive reliability, and the MCG’s historical favoritism to the Kangaroos.

Note: Confirm lineups and injuries 1 hour before kickoff (12:20 PM AEST).
