NRL Odds: Punters Like The Bulldogs
December 24th, 2014 by TJ DilferWhen they first got their hands on the draw for the 2015 NRL season, Bulldogs fans could be forgiven for a bit of disappointment – it’s fair to say that theirs isn’t the easiest draw out there, with the team that beat them in the Grand Final, the Rabbitohs, featuring in the first few weeks, as well as the Roosters, the Sea Eagles and a couple of face-offs with the Panthers.
If you have a look, though, at the NRL odds we’ve got for you, you’ll see that the Bulldogs are currently a $7.50 bet, with the Rabbitohs and Roosters the only teams with shorter odds. And it looks like punters have the Bulldogs picked as the franchise with the best value in the early season – clearly memories of their bullish end to the season will have had an effect, but the Bulldogs have added Brett Morris in the off-season, and they will have a tried and tested forward pack to rely on in 2015. That, punters seem to reckon, will be enough to make them extremely competitive indeed…
Are you seeing value in the Bulldogs at $7.50 to win the title? If they’re going to have realistic expectations of claiming the crown from the Rabbitohs, of course, they’ll know that history tells us they need to finish in the top four: we’ve yet to see a side win the Grand Final from outside those spots on the ladder. The Bulldogs are at odds of $2.25 to find a spot in the top four – that would be their first goal, and well within reach, you’d have thought. But have they got what it takes to make the 2015 campaign a winning one?
