Raiders vs. Dolphins Predictions

Best Bet

Dolphins +4.5 @ $1.90

Punters get a generous line from bookmakers for the Dolphins. They have been playing excellent footy, and their last two meetings against the Raiders were decided by one point.

It’s always a close game between the Raiders and Dolphins, and we see no reason to believe that it won’t be on Sunday. The Raiders have won three on the bounce against the Sharks, Eels, and Titans, but the Dolphins have performed better.

They defeated the Titans, Panthers, and Storm, and beating the Storm 42-22 is tough to ignore. It was a fine performance, and the Dolphins midfield could tear through the Raiders defence, which allowed the Titans to score easily last week.

There is also value in the Dolphins H2H at $2.52 but take the safer option with the points spread.

Same Game Multi

Dolphins +4.5, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow Anytime Try Scorer, Sebastian Kris Anytime Try Scorer, Over 49.5 @ $11.25

It should be a try-fest at GIO Stadium, and we’re including over 49.5 in our same game multis. They scored 51 points in their 2024 meeting and 61 in their 2023 meeting, so the stats paint the picture this week.

Two of those tries could come from Dolphins’ speedster Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow. He didn’t score last week, but he scored three tries against the Panthers, and he could run riot on the Raiders. He’s a $2.03 chance to score a try, which is overly generous.

We backed Sebastian Kris last week and he didn’t let us down with a late try. He has scored a try in his last three games, and getting $2.20 is a good price with NRL odds. It could be a back-and-forth battle, where defence plays second fiddle.

Best Value Bet

Dolphins Halftime/Fulltime @ $3.35

We’re picking the Dolphins to win the game outright, and we’re taking the value for them to lead at halftime and fulltime.

They didn’t come out humming against the Storm last week before piling on the points later in the half, but that only adds to our confidence. If they can start slightly better, they could put the Raiders away nice and early.

We believe the wrong team is favoured, so cash in with this option.
