Bet Of The Day August 20 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Raiders have won the last seven meetings between the teams
Bulldogs haven’t defeated Raiders at GIO Stadium since 2015
Bulldogs’ last six defeats have been by 20+ points
Bulldogs have conceded 40+ points in five of their last seven games

We’re off to the NRL for today’s best bet as the Raiders look to get their season back on track when they host the embattled Bulldogs in the nation’s capital.

Canberra were gunning for a top four finish not so long ago, but three defeats from their last four games means they are in danger of dropping out of the eight altogether.

Fortunately for the Raiders, they have arguably the easiest task in the NRL right now – playing the Bulldogs at home.

Canterbury have endured another nightmare season that has new various new low points, including their biggest ever loss last month when they were touched up 66-0 by the Knights.

The Bulldogs lost to the Knights again last week, suffering another crushing 42-6 defeat.

All up, the Bulldogs’ last six defeats have been by 20 points or more, while they have conceded 40+ points in five of their last seven games.

They are easily the worst defensive team in the NRL and have the worst points differential by far, despite sitting above the Dragons and Tigers on the ladder.

Canterbury also haven’t won at GIO Stadium since 2015, while the Raiders have won the last seven meetings between the teams at all venues.

With all this in mind, the Raiders look great odds to cover a relatively small -7.5 line today.
