Best Bet

Bulldogs -5.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Bulldogs desperately need a bounce back win after losing to the Rabbitohs and Roosters in the last two weeks.

They scored only one try against the Rabbitohs last week, which wasn’t a good performance, but they now play a much easier team in the Dragons, and if they want to be a top-eight threat, they need to win comfortably.

The Dragons are looking to get off the bottom of the ladder, which didn’t look possible at one point, but with the Broncos losing and the Dragons winning, they finally have something to play for. However, it’s unlikely to be enough to beat the Bulldogs, who play a physical style of footy, which should prove too much.

We’re taking the -5.5 line before it moves to -6.5, which we’re predicting throughout the week.

Same Game Multi

Bulldogs -5.5, Enari Tuala Anytime Try Scorer, Matt Burton Anytime Try Scorer, Over 43.5 @ $8.50

Bet Now

Enari Tuala scored the Bulldogs’ only try last week, which was his second try in his last five games. That should do his confidence plenty of good, and the $1.97 odds are worth including in NRL same game multi bets.

Matt Burton is another leading try-scoring chance for the Bulldogs. He is better known for his bomb kicks and setting up tries, but he’s a tough customer, and he has two tries from his last five games. The $2.50 odds are juicy enough to include to boost value.

Bookmakers expect a low-scoring game, but the offences could explode with plenty of tries. We’re including over 43.5 points in our multi bet to boost odds.

Best Value Bet

Matt Burton First Try Scorer @ $12.00

Bet Now

The Bulldogs need a leader to stand up and take control of their season, and we’re backing Burton to be that man on Saturday.

He is a key player in the Bulldogs’ backline, and he’s good enough to run at the line, break defenders, and score the opening try.

The $12 odds are generous enough to include as a value bet in the big game.
