Bet Of The Day August 13 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Knights have won four of the last five meetings between the teams
Knights are on a five-game winning streak
Knights have covered a -5.5 line in eight of their 10 wins this season
Knights beat Bulldogs 66-0 last month
Knights have seen 50+ points in their last five games vs bottom five teams
Bulldogs have seen 60+ points in five of their last six games

We’re off to the NRL for today’s best bet as the Knights look to rise back into the top eight when they face the lowly Bulldogs.

With the Rabbitohs beating the Dragons and Cowboys earning two points from the bye, Newcastle have dropped down to ninth spot on the ladder, making this a must-win match.

The Knights will climb back into seventh with a victory, which they are expected to achieve against a Bulldogs side that are languishing in 15th spot.

Newcastle crushed Canterbury 66-0 just last month – and while it likely won’t be as dominant, we’re still confident the Knights will get the job done relatively comfortably here.

We’ll be backing the Knights to cover a small -5.5 line with Over 46.5 total points at solid odds of $2.90.

Newcastle have covered a -5.5 line in eight of their 10 wins this season, while as mentioned, they crushed the Dogs by 66 points in their last meeting.

Meanwhile, the Knights have seen 50+ points in their last five games against bottom five teams, meaning they are consistently involved in high-scoring outings against weaker clubs.

Furthermore, the Bulldogs have seen 60+ points in five of their last six games. They have the worst defence in the competition, but with some key players returning and the arrival of Toby Sexton at halfback, their attack has improved.

Another high-scoring affair looks likely here and the Knights should be set for another big victory at home.
