Roosters vs. Bulldogs Predictions

Ended

The NRL continues with Round 23 action between the Roosters vs. Bulldogs on Friday, August 7 at 8:00pm at Allianz Stadium.

Friday night action continues with a blockbuster between the Roosters and Bulldogs, where most of the money has come for the Chooks to win.

Best Bet

Roosters -9.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Bulldogs have been playing well, and they deserve credit for making their way into the top eight. However, the Roosters are playing at a different level.

They scored an 82-12 win over the Cowboys last week, and although we’re not expecting this game to come as easily, if the Roosters play anywhere near their best, they should win and cover the -9.5 spread in fine style.

Their record-breaking win last week following tough victories over the Knights and Storm, and they got through those games with tough defence. That will be required against the Bulldogs, who are playing with confidence, but the Roosters have clicked into top gear, and they could score by 14-16 points.

We have them covering the -9.5 spread with a second-half blitz, and the Roosters could firm in NRL Premiership markets following the victory.

Same Game Multi

Roosters -9.5, Mark Nawaqanitawase Anytime Try Scorer, James Tedesco Anytime Try Scorer, Under 45.5 @ $12.25

Bet Now

Mark Nawaqanitawase got back to his brilliant best with three tries last week, and it’s good to see his confidence return. He’s an elite finisher, and his odds have firmed into $1.60 to score a try against the Bulldogs.

James Tedesco scored two tries before getting a rest in the second half last week, and he’ll be fresh and ready to fire this week. He has five tries from his last two games, and he’s playing career-best footy, which is amazing at his age. The $2.18 odds provide a good boost to NRL SGM picks.

We predict the Bulldogs struggling to score points, so under 45.5 points is another good multi bet addition.

Best Value Bet

Mark Nawaqanitawase First Try Scorer @ $6.50

Bet Now

We have Nawaqanitawase scoring the first try of the game, and continuing is fine form.

He’s leaving for rugby after the season, but the Roosters are desperate to keep him, and after scoring three tries last week, he could start with a bang on Friday.

The $6.50 odds are good enough to include in NRL picks as a value bet.
