Broncos vs. Roosters Predictions

The NRL continues with Round 17 action between the Broncos vs. Roosters on Friday, June 26 at 8:00pm at Suncorp Stadium.

The Broncos are riding a six-game losing streak, but they could bounce back and score an upset win over the Roosters.

Best Bet

Broncos +7.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Broncos are dealing with some injury concerns following their six-game losing streak, but we’re giving them one more chance.

The defending champions haven’t fired a shot this season, which is disappointing, but the likes of Payne Haas and Reece Walsh are playing, and their class could be enough to keep it close against the Roosters, who come off a good win over the Sharks.

Most of the attention, especially in betting markets, has come for the Roosters following their 27-8 win. However, they haven’t always put two wins together, and the Broncos are the much more desperate team.

We expect a better attitude from the Broncos in Round 17, and it should be enough to cover the +7.5 spread. They should have a chance to win the game late, and punters get insurance for a close contest.

Same Game Multi

Broncos +7.5, Jesse Arthars Anytime Try Scorer, Kotoni Staggs Anytime Try Scorer, Over 49.5 @ $10.25

Bet Now

The Broncos’ hopes hinge on how well their backline performs, so we’re looking at Jesse Arthars and Kotoni Staggs to deliver.

Arthars has three tries from his last three games, and we have him finishing off a backline move. Punters get $2.05, which is a good price for a quality finisher. Staggs is paying $2.45 to score, and he comes off a strong Origin performance. He got back to try-scoring form in his most recent NRL game, so include him in NRL SGM picks.

It could be a try-fest between the Broncos and Roosters. They are likely to trade tries throughout the game, and it should result in a big score. Over 49.5 points is a good pick to include in multis.

Best Value Bet

Broncos Halftime/Fulltime @ $3.75

Bet Now

A good start is crucial for the Broncos, and for punters taking them to cover the +7.5 spread.

If they start the game well, and they get into the contest, they could take a halftime lead and hold off the Roosters late in the game.

It’s all about confidence for the Broncos, so we’re taking a risk with a halftime/fulltime bet given the odds.
