Best Bet

Raiders -8.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

There has been some money for the Knights to cover the spread once it moved to 8.5, but we can’t put our money on the Knights against the Raiders.

Canberra is riding a long winning streak, and although the Knights got back to winning form against the Dolphins last week, they haven’t been consistent, and they could struggle to score points against a tough Raiders defence.

The Raiders allowed just 12 points against the Tigers and Rabbitohs over the last two games, and most of the Tigers’ points came in the final 10 minutes. That defence should be enough to cover the spread in a 24-10 scoreline.

Same Game Multi

Raiders -8.5, Xavier Savage Anytime Try Scorer, Sebastian Kris Anytime Try Scorer, Under 45.5 @ $18.75

Bet Now

Most of the tries should come from the Raiders, and we’re backing Xavier Savage and Sebastian Kris to score for the visitors.

Savage has four tries from his last five games, and although he didn’t score in the last two games, he should bounce back against a moderate Knights defence. Punters get $1.74 for Savage and $2.70 for Kris, who is overdue a try.

It has been Kris’s defence showing up recently, but he’s good enough to score, and the odds are too good to pass up.

Due to the Knights lack of attack, under 45.5 points is included in our picks. It should be a low-scoring contest, and we’re not surprised by the money coming for the under.

Best Value Bet

Raiders 13+/Under 45.5 @ $5.30

Bet Now

There is good value with the Raiders to win by 13+ points and the game under 45.5 points.

Punters get $5.30 for the NRL double to cash, and it has a good chance of cashing against a Knights team that is struggling to score points.

A one-sided game is expected, so include this option as a value NRL bet.
