Knights vs. Sea Eagles Predictions

Ended

The NRL continues with Round 25 action between the Knights vs. Sea Eagles on Saturday, August 22 at 3:00pm at McDonald Jones Stadium.

The Knights have stormed back into contention with three wins, and they’re firm favourites to give Manly its seventh straight loss.

Best Bet

Knights -6.5 @ $1.95

Bet Now

The Knights have looked good in winning their last three games, and although they came against teams outside the top eight, their confidence levels should be high.

They face another team outside the top eight in the Sea Eagles, who have endured a tough time lately. They lost six games on the bounce, and after failing to score a point last week against the Dolphins, things aren’t looking good.

Momentum is firmly with the Knights, who are now inside the top six, and they are capitalising from an easy schedule. It’s ideal in the run to the finals and we have them covering the -6.5 spread without much fuss.

Most of the money has come for the Sea Eagles to cover the spread, but we expect late money to come for the home team.

Same Game Multi

Knights -6.5, Greg Marzhew Anytime Try Scorer, Fletcher Sharpe Anytime Try Scorer, Under 50.5 @ $11.25

Bet Now

Greg Marzhew comes off a two-try effort against the Titans, and he’s in fine form. He has three doubles from his last five games and we have him scoring an early try against Manly. The $1.54 odds are short, but they boost NRL SGM odds.

Fletcher Sharpe keeps going under the radar in try-scoring betting markets despite scoring five tries from his last three games. Punters have cashed in, and there is every reason to include him at $2.20 this week.

The Knights can run in big totals, but with the Sea Eagles struggling to score, we’re picking the under. Our final score prediction has the Knights winning 28-14, so punters get points to work with.

Best Value Bet

Fletcher Sharpe First Try Scorer @ $12.00

Bet Now

Sharpe scored the first try in Newcastle’s win over the Raiders, and although he didn’t score first last week, he still scored two tries.

He’s having a big season for the Knights, and his energy levels have elevated the team to a finals position, and he could score the opening try on Saturday.

The $12 odds are generous for a player who always follows up a line break.
