Bet Of The Day July 21 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Warriors have seen 50+ points in four of their last five games
Raiders have seen 42+ points in eight of their last 10 games
Eight of the last nine meetings between the teams have seen 40+ points
Warriors beat Raiders 36-14 last month
Warriors beat Sharks 44-12 in Auckland last week
Warriors have scored 44+ points themselves in their last three wins

We’re off to the NRL for today’s best bet as the Warriors and Raiders collide in an unexpected top five showdown in Auckland.

Both sides have overachieved so far this season, with the winner of this clash set to finish the round inside the top four.

Canberra look good value as $3.00 outsiders, but we’re going to back Over 39.5 total points at even money for our best bet.

This is one of the lowest total lines of the season and there’s not really any justification for it. Yes, it’s raining in Auckland today, but the forecast suggests it will clear before kick-off.

The Warriors have been the best attacking team in the competition since Round 14, scoring the most points with 214.

Overall, the Warriors have seen 50+ points in four of their last five games, so they’re clearing this total with ease lately. In fact, the Warriors are covering this total by themselves, scoring 44+ points in their last three victories, including a 44-12 crushing of the Sharks in Auckland last week.

Canberra have also been seeing plenty of points in their games, with 42+ being scored in eight of their last 10 outings.

Last week, the Raiders saw 62 points in a 36-26 victory over the Dragons.

Eight of the last nine meetings between these two sides have also covered this total, with the Warriors prevailing 36-14 in Canberra just last month.

Shaun Johnson is firing on all cylinders, so every chance the Warriors put on another big score by themselves as well.

All things considered, anything Under 40 points here would be a huge surprise.
