Preview:
Canterbury’s faint finals hope faded out last week as the Dogs lost by seven-points to the Cowboys up north. Dean Pay’s side now looks to end the season on a high note, but that might be easier than done against a very dangerous looking Broncos outfit.
Brisbane did their best to keep things interesting last week against the Eels, right before a dazzling burst from David Fifita set up Jamayne Isaako’s game-winning field goal.
The result leaves the Broncos in charge of their own destiny sitting seventh on the ladder, but with just a point separating them from Cronulla and the Wests Tigers, this is still a must-win scenario.
Anthony Seibold can take heart in the fact his side manhandled the Bulldogs 28-6 earlier in the year, but Brisbane’s record on the road against Canterbury isn’t quite so convincing.
The last time the Broncos defeated the Dogs in Sydney was way back in 2015, and with Canterbury returning home for the first time in just under a month, you can expect the Bulldogs to be up for a fight.
Betting wise, the Dogs are a perfect 2-0 as the home underdog against Brisbane, while the Broncos are a perfect 3-0 as the away favourite this year.
It’s easy to make a case for either sides winning chances. But since this game looks a bit of a coin flip, take the money on offer for either side to win by less than 6.5.
Tip: Brisbane Broncos at $1.54
