Broncos vs. Bulldogs Predictions

Ended

The NRL continues with Round 8 action between the Broncos vs. Bulldogs on Friday, April 24 at 8:00pm at Suncorp Stadium.

There has been a noticeable betting push for the Bulldogs, but the Broncos could pull off an upset at home.

Best Bet

Broncos +4.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

We’re putting some respect on the Broncos’ name after scoring a tough win over the Wests Tigers last week. The 21-20 victory was a good effort, and we’re not sure why they are $2.48 underdogs to win at Suncorp.

They won both meetings against the Bulldogs last season, in what was a title-winning year. They have won four of their last five games overall, and although injuries haven’t made it easy, they’re a team with excellent depth.

It’s rare to see the Bulldogs paying $1.54 to win on the road against the Broncos, especially after losing three of their last four games. Their win came over the Panthers, which was a big upset, but they let themselves down with a 38-20 loss to the Eels as -14.5 favourites last week.

Based on that, the Broncos are an excellent bet as the +4.5 underdogs on Friday night, which is their favourite time to play.

Same Game Multi

Broncos +4.5, Josiah Karapani Anytime Try Scorer, Kotoni Staggs Anytime Try Scorer, Over 49.5 @ $9.00

Bet Now

There are good odds available for Josiah Karapani and Kotoni Staggs to score a try for the Broncos. Karapani scored a try in each of his last two games, and the $1.99 odds to score again are worth including in NRL picks this week.

The same goes for Staggs, who thrives when the Broncos play well. He has four tries in his last five games, and many of his tries come from inside their own 50. The $2.25 odds are much better than the $1.90 we expected with NRL odds.

Our final score prediction has the Broncos winning 30-26, so we have over 49.5 points in our NRL same game multi bets.

Best Value Bet

Broncos Halftime/Fulltime @ $3.15

Bet Now

The Broncos are a high-pressure team, and we expect them to come out firing against the Bulldogs.

Playing at Suncorp Stadium gives the Broncos a sizable advantage, and having gone 2-0 last year is enough to give them confidence to win.

Punters get a healthy $3.15 for a halftime/fulltime win, so snap up the value.
