The NRL continues with Round 17 action between the Eels vs. Rabbitohs on Thursday, June 25 at 7:50pm at CommBank Stadium.

Kicking off the week are the Eels vs. Rabbitohs, and late money has come for the Eels to keep it close on Thursday night.

Best Bet

Eels +6.5 @ $1.85

Bet Now

We recommend taking the Eels +6.5 before the line moves to +5.5. There has been money come for the Eels to cover the spread, and we predict a close game against the Rabbitohs.

It has been a tough year for the Eels, but with Mitchell Moses back in the team, good things could happen. They come off a win over Canberra 15-12, and the Raiders only scored late in the game to make it close.

It was a quality performance from a team wanting to make a late season run, and they could benefit from the Rabbitohs winning 48-6 over the Broncos last week. That win could give the Rabbitohs a false sense of security, and the Eels don’t often give up easily.

The Eels have enough attacking power to win or cover the spread, so the +6.5 line is worth including in NRL picks this week.

Same Game Multi

Eels +6.5, Josh Addo-Carr Anytime Try Scorer, Alex Johnson Anytime Try Scorer, Over 48.5 @ $8.50

Bet Now

Josh Addo-Carr hasn’t been at his try-scoring best recently, but with Moses delivering quality play on his inside, he will get more chances now. Punters get $1.79 to score a try, and he is the Eels’ best attacking threat.

Alex Johnson is the all-time try-scoring leader, and he comes off a four-try outing against the Broncos. The Rabbitohs winger is enjoying his last season for the club, and he could score his ninth try in his last five games.

We expect a high-scoring game to kick off the week. Our final score prediction has the Eels winning 28-24, so include over 48.5 points in NRL SGM picks.

Best Value Bet

Eels Halftime/Fulltime @ $3.50

Bet Now

A good start would be ideal for the Eels, who thrive on getting the first try of the game.

If the Eels score early, they should take a lead into halftime, and we have them winning outright in a close contest.

The $3.50 odds are good enough to qualify as a value bet.
