Best Bet

Raiders –3.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Raiders have played too well in 2025 to be beaten by the Broncos at home. We respect the Broncos, especially with Reece Walsh playing well, but the Raiders are good team top to bottom, and the occasion is massive on Sunday.

Playing a home final as the top seed comes with pressure, but this team has responded well to pressure all year. They might not have a freakish player like Walsh, but they have depth, and every player does their job.

They won 32-22 in their last meeting against the Broncos, so that’s a good betting guide, and covering a –3.5 spread shouldn’t be too difficult.

Everything points towards the Broncos playing next week, so take the Raiders to send a statement to the rest of the competition.

Same Game Multi

Raiders –3.5, Ethan Strange Anytime Try Scorer, Reece Walsh Anytime Try Scorer, Over 45.5 @ $14.25

Bet Now

It’s usually a high-scoring game between the Raiders and Broncos, so we’re including over 45.5 points in our NRL SGM picks. They combined for 54 points in their last meeting, and the score could be similar.

Tries could come from Ethan Strange and Reece Walsh. Strange has five tries from his last three games, including a treble three weeks ago. He is one of the best players in the NRL, and one of the more underrated players.

Walsh is a $2.25 chance to score a try after scoring five tries in his last four games. He’s a dynamic player, and if the Broncos wants a chance of winning, he must play his best. Even if the Broncos lose, he should score a try.

Best Value Bet

Raiders 1-12 @ $2.85

Bet Now

We expect the Raiders to beat the Broncos, but winning by 13+ points could prove difficult. Therefore, the best value is Raiders 1-12.

Punters get $2.85 for the Raiders to win by under 13 points, and we thought the odds would be around $2.50. It’s a good price with NRL odds, and it qualifies as our best value bet for the final game of Finals Week 1.
