Broncos vs. Bulldogs Predictions

Best Bet

Bulldogs –4.5 @ $1.90

The Bulldogs have the best defence in the NRL, which was showcased when beating the Rabbitohs 32-0 last week. They have allowed only six points from their last three games, which is truly outstanding for a team like the Bulldogs.

They now face a dangerous Broncos team coming off losses to the Roosters and Warriors, but they were poor in those games, and Reece Walsh was injured against the Warriors. Therefore, some of the Broncos’ attack could be stifled.

We don’t see how the Broncos will score on this Bulldogs defence, and although a –4.5 line can be tricky, punters should bet on them with confidence.

Same Game Multi

Bulldogs -4.5, Bronson Xerri Anytime Try Scorer, Jesse Arthars Anytime Try Scorer, Under 43.5 @ $24.40

Based on the Bulldogs excellent defence, it should be a low-scoring game. We envision the final score behind around 30-12, and because we have the Broncos scoring 2-3 tries, one of them could go to Jesse Arthars.

He has four tries from his last three games, and he’s tough to stop when he gets close to the line. Breaking the Bulldogs barrier won’t be easy, but the Broncos’ backline is too talented to keep them from scoring.

We also like Bronson Xerri to score at $2.25 odds. He has four tries from his last four games, including one last week. He’s also a power runner, and his defensive strength could be rewarded with a four-pointer on Thursday.

Bulldogs –4.5 is our final leg in the Broncos vs. Bulldogs same game multi picks. They should win comfortably and improve to 7/7.

Best Value Bet

Stephen Crichton First Try Scorer @ $11.00

Stephen Crichton was a noted try scorer at Penrith, but since moving to the Bulldogs, the design has been more defensive. However, he could open the scoring against the Broncos.

He scored against the Sharks when winning 20-6, and we think he wants to make a statement in Round 8. He’s still capable of scoring tries, and he’ll want to get his name on the scorers’ sheet nice and early.

Punters get $11 for Crichton to score first, and he’s worth a play.
