The NRL continues with Round 6 action between the Bulldogs vs. Panthers on Thursday, April 9 at 7:50pm at Accor Stadium.

Best Bet

Bulldogs +16.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Bulldogs started the season well with two wins, but after losing to the Knights and Souths, they need to turn things around.

It doesn’t get much harder than facing the Panthers, but we think they’re up for the challenge. The Panthers are unbeaten after five weeks, but they have yet to have a bye week, and that could be telling in the second half on Thursday night.

Getting a +16.5 start is sizable for the Bulldogs, who still have a capable team. They only need to defend well to cover the spread, and our NRL predictions don’t have the Panthers winning by a big margin. It’s a styles make fights type of game, and the Bulldogs should shape up well.

Take the current odds before money comes for the Bulldogs at the line. They only need to start the game well to give the Panthers cause for concern.

Same Game Multi

Bulldogs +16.5, Jacob Kiraz Anytime Try Scorer, Thomas Jenkins Anytime Try Scorer, Under 46.5 @ $8.00

Jacob Kiraz is an important player for the Bulldogs. If he scores, they often play well, and with two tries from four games, he’s due a big performance. Punters get $2.45 for Kiraz to score, which adds value to our NRL same game multi picks.

Thomas Jenkins is a try-scoring freak this season, having scored 12 tries in five games. He’s benefitting from quality players on his inside, and although $1.42 to score is in the skinny range, we can’t leave him out of our picks.

We predict the Bulldogs’ defence holding up, which could make it a low-scoring game. Under 46.5 points is a solid NRL multi bet pick.

Best Value Bet

Panthers 1-12 @ $3.40

Bet Now

We have the Panthers winning the game outright, but it should be a close contest at Accor Stadium.

The $3.40 odds for the Panthers to win 1-12 is an excellent price, and it still gives them a two-try buffer, which is a big margin for any NRL game. There isn’t much respect for the Bulldogs, but because of that, punters get value odds to start Round 6.
