Rabbitohs vs. Roosters Predictions

Starts in 1d 6h

The NRL continues with Round 27 action between the Rabbitohs vs. Roosters on Friday, September 4 at 8:00pm at Allianz Stadium.

One of the biggest games of the week is the Rabbitohs vs. Roosters, but with the Roosters resting most of their players, some of the shine has come out of the contest.

Best Bet

Rabbitohs -21.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

Punters who took the opening line on Monday will be loving what they’re seeing. The Rabbitohs shortened significantly when news broke of the Roosters resting their players, and now punters are forced to take a -21.5 line.

Despite a significantly different line being offered, we’re sticking with the Rabbitohs, who looked good when beating the Titans last week, and it’s a big occasion with Jai Arrow playing his 100th game for the Rabbits.

There aren’t many household names playing for the Roosters, and it resembles a reserve grade team. They are choosing to rest players after Sam Walker was injured last week, and it’s the smart thing to do ahead of the NRL finals.

With momentum on their side, the Rabbitohs should score an emphatic win and cover the -21.5 spread.

Same Game Multi

Rabbitohs -21.5, Latrell Mitchell Anytime Try Scorer, David Fafita Anytime Try Scorer, Over 54.5 @ $8.00

Bet Now

Latrell Mitchell has returned from injury in good form, and he has every chance of scoring a try this week. Against a Roosters defence that could be non-existent, Mitchell will fancy his chances to score at $1.77.

David Fafita is also coming into his own after some rampaging runs lately, and he could give the Roosters defence fits. He has two tries from his last three games and we have him adding to his total at generous odds of $2.45.

The Rabbitohs should put up a big score, and they could score close to 54 points by themselves. We have them winning 44-12, which is enough to secure the over, so include over 54.5 in NRL SGM picks.

Best Value Bet

David Fafita Anytime Try Scorer @ $2.45

Bet Now

The odds for Fafita scoring a try aren’t massive, but there is a lot of value with the $2.45 price with NRL odds.

Fafita’s confidence is growing with every game for the Rabbitohs, and we can’t see how the Roosters’ understrength defence will stop him close to the line.

He’s a power runner, and with two tries from his last three games, he’s finding the try line with consistency.
