Bulldogs vs. Rabbitohs Predictions

Best Bet

Bulldogs 1-12 @ $2.90

Most of the money has come for the Bulldogs to cover the –9.5 spread, and there has been good money for the Bulldogs 13+. However, we expect the Bulldogs to win 1-12, in what is typically a close-fought contest between these teams.

Their last two meetings were decided by four points, and although the Bulldogs are a much better team in 2025, they have had some close games. They won 28-20 over the Dragons and 16-8 over the Eels, and the Rabbitohs are good enough to keep it close.

They defeated the Panthers and Roosters in consecutive games before losing to the Cowboys, and getting Cody Walker and Campbell Graham back in the team is a massive boost for them. The Bulldogs are better, but not 13 points better, so take the generous $2.90 odds.

Same Game Multi

Bulldogs H2H, Stephen Crichton Anytime Try Scorer, Bulldogs First Half H2H, Total Match Points Under 44.5 @ $7.50

We are taking the short odds for the Bulldogs to win the game and the first half. They should start the first 40 minutes well, and they could limit the Rabbitohs to only one try or less.

We took the short odds because Stephen Crichton is a $2.60 chance to score a try. That’s excellent value for a player who has all the ability needed to score tries, and he crossed for one against the Sharks in a 20-6 win.

Crichton doesn’t score as often as he used to with the Panthers because he doesn’t have Nathan Cleary on his inside. However, he will want to make an impact against the Rabbitohs, and the odds are too good to pass up.

Under 44.5 is also included in our Bulldogs vs Rabbitohs multi picks. It should be a defensive struggle, and there might only be 4-5 tries scored.

Best Value Bet

8 Minutes or Later Time of First Try @ $1.89

We expect these teams to have a feeling out process, and eight minutes isn’t enough time for them to score the first try.

It could come after around 15-20 minutes, and the defenses will be tight in the opening 10 minutes. There is good value with this pick, so it’s worth including in NRL picks for the Good Friday feature.
