Bet Of The Day August 24 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Panthers have won their last eight games
Panthers have won 33 of their last 36 games at BlueBet Stadium
Eels have lost four of their last five games
Eels have leaked 34+ points in their last three defeats
Eels have leaked 46+ points in three of their last five defeats
Panthers scored 40 points last week vs Titans

We’re off to the NRL for today’s best bet as the Panthers look to put one hand on the minor premiership when they play host to the Eels at BlueBet Stadium.

Almost 12 months ago this was a Grand Final, but while Penrith look on track for a three-peat of premierships, the Eels have run their race for 2023.

Parramatta simply never recovered from a slow start to the season and come into this encounter having lost four of their last five games.

With the bye next week, this will be the Eels final game of the year and it could get ugly at the foot of the mountains.

Penrith have won 33 of their last 36 games at BlueBet Stadium and need to keep winning in order to secure another minor premiership.

The Panthers are on an eight-game winning streak and fresh after dropping 40 points on the road against the Titans last week.

With this in mind, we’re liking the Panthers to score Over 30.5 team points tonight.

The Eels are a mess right now and are basically no chance without Mitch Moses, who controls the entire attack.

Parramatta haven’t been competitive in most of their losses lately and have conceded 34+ points in their last three defeats.

Brad Arthur’s side have also given up 46+ points in three of their last five defeats. Penrith are the best side in the competition, so imagine what they can do at home with the minor premiership within their grasp.

All signs point to a beatdown at BlueBet Stadium tonight and we’re confident the Panthers will be racking up a massive total.
