NRL Rugby - Canberra Raiders vs Top 8 Rugby betting preview

I have to do this one now before this weekend starts and the odds change.If you want to wait and see how the Raiders go against the Roosters this weekend then do so as the odds will move out if they lose,but I like these odds right now and have already taken them with a big bet.

The Race for the 8 is on and there are 10 teams still very much in the hunt,he Dragons,Titans,Panthers and Broncos right now are the leaders of the pack and are in the Top 8,but they are being chased hard by the Knights,Warriors,Eels,Tigers and Bunnies all bar the Bunnies are only one point behind the Panthers to make the 8,of the top 8 how it stands I am still expecting one side to fall out and that side is the Titans,they have a hard road ahead of them and face the Panthers this week followed by the Raiders(A),Storm(A),Knights(H),Cowboys(A),Broncos (H),Manly(A) and their last game is against the Tigers at home,of those games 4 are at home and 4 are away and I expect them to lose to the Raiders,Storm,Broncos and Manly and only win 3 of their remaining 8 games.

Of the chasing sides to make the 8 including the 4 already in the 8 all bar 3 sides have an even spilt of games to come the Dragons have 4 home and 4 away as do the Knights,Broncos,Panthers,Warriorsand Bunnies,the Tigers have 3 home and 5 away matches left to play,the Eels have 3 home and 5away games to play and the Raiders have the best run in with 5 home games and only 3 away games,they also have a very good run in with games against the Roosters this week at home,Titans(H),Broncos(A),Panthers(H),Knights(H),Bunnies(A),Cowboys(A) and they finish against the Dogs at Home,of these games I expect the Raiders to win 5 or 6 to leave them on 28 or 30 points that should see them in the Finals.

The Raiders have the best run in of any of the chasing sides,they are getting players back ad have a great home record against all the sides they play at home as well as that the Raiders also only play 3 of the Top 8 sides and play 2 of thse games at home,this weekend against the Roosters and next week against the Titans,they also play the Bunnies,Cowboys and Dogs al sides they have a very good chance of beating,so te Raiders really are the front runners to make the 8 right now.

I have gone through each sides remaining games and this is how I see the final table being sorted for the Top 8..

1.Melbourne Storm 42pts

2.Manly Sea Eagles 40 pts

3.Cronulla Sharks 36 pts

4.Sydney Roosters 32 pts

5.St George Dragons 32pts

6.Brisbane Broncos 29 pts

7.Penrith Panthers 29 pts

8.Canberra Raiders 28 pts

Alot of the chasing sides play each other and also play the Top 4 sides,I do still very much think the Titans will fall short and they of all the sides have the hardest run into the Finals.

I'm sick of typing so i am finished now,but take the Raiders to make the 8...Good Luck.
