Best Bet

Bulldogs @ $1.95

Bet Now

We’re surprised to see the Bulldogs listed as underdogs, especially given how bad the Raiders played against the Warriors last week.

They didn’t enjoy the conditions in Auckland, losing 40-6, and it was their attitude that let them down. They gave it in very easily, and that’s not a good sign when facing the Bulldogs this week, who are a good mental side.

Having had a week off should suit the Bulldogs. They scored a 15-14 win in Las Vegas against the Dragons, and although it wasn’t a statement win, they got a pass mark with it being the first game of the year.

Being back in Australia helps, and the $1.95 is a fantastic price for what we believe is the better team. Back the Bulldogs to win outright before their odds firm throughout the week.

Same Game Multi

Bulldogs H2H, Jacob Kiraz Anytime Try Scorer, Stephen Crichton Anytime Try Scorer, Over 48.5 @ $10.50

Bet Now

Jacob Kiraz kept his try-scoring run going in Las Vegas, and he has a good chance of scoring again. He is the $1.75 favourite to score in four consecutive games, and we fancy his chances of crossing the white stripe.

Punters get juicer odds for Stephen Crichton to score at $2.85. It has been a while between drinks for the Bulldogs leader, but we expect him to have a big game. His odds give a big boost to NRL same game multi bet payouts.

It should be a free-flowing game, so we have over 48.5 cashing for punters.

Best Value Bet

Jacob Kiraz First Try Scorer @ $8.50

Bet Now

Punter get $8.50 for Kiraz to open the scoring on Thursday night, which is a good price for the Bulldogs winger.

He always gets on the end of a good pass, and he likes to strike early in the game. The Bulldogs are good at scoring first, and Kiraz is their man to get the job done.

His odds could firm throughout the week, and the $8.50 price makes him worth including in NRL picks as a value bet.
