Rugby League Betting Odds and Analysis for Top Games in Round 11

Rugby League Betting Odds and Analysis for Top Games in Round 11

While we put much of our focus on the major sports leagues and events across the world, we also like to look at other leagues that you may not know that much about.

This time, we are shining the spotlight on rugby, and specifically the Top Games for Round 11 of the National Rugby League (NRL) in Australia.

 

My Analysis

The league is comprised of 17 teams, the top 8 of which move into a 4-week tournament that sees a pair of teams eliminated each week until we get down to the final 2 teams and the Grand Final. During the regular season, teams earn 2 points per win, 1 for a tie, and 2 points for a bye. The playoffs are a little more complex, but we will get into all of that at a later date. This weekend we have the Magic Round, where we have 8 games in the same venue, with Brisbane playing host this year. Let’s take a look at the top games in Round 11.

Canberra Raiders +140 vs Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs -159

Through the opening 10 rounds of the season, there is not much between the teams down near the cut line and those sitting below it. This game is huge in that it will have a definite impact on how the standings look once the Magic Round is over. The Raiders are in the #7 spot right now with 12 points through their opening 9 games, but they would love a little more breathing room. They could get that with a win here, with the Bulldogs down in the #9 spot, 2 points back of Canberra. With each team playing 24 games, there is still a lot of rugby to come, but this is still a vitally important game for both teams.

Manly Sea Eagles +194 vs Brisbane Broncos -233

This matchup is similar to the previous game we just discussed, as it too will have an impact on how the top 8 will look after this weekend. The Sea Eagles are clinging to the #8 spot at the moment, picking up 11 points through 10 games. While they have been good at home, winning 4 of 5, they have just 1 win in 4 away from their own building. The Broncos will have the advantage of playing in front of their own fans in the Magic Round, as they look to improve on their current 6th place standing, picking up 12 points though 10 games. They have won 4 of 5 at home, as well as 4 of their last 5 overall, so form seems to be on their side.

Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks +139 vs Sydney Roosters -167

While the focus on the previous 2 games has been about the cut line, this matchup is all about the top of the NRL table. Heading into the Magic Round, it is the Sharks who are atop the standings, picking up 18 points from 9 games. They have won each of their last 5 games and are rolling at the moment, but this is by no means a slam sunk for them, especially since their lone loss came away from home. The Roosters would like to close the gap, as they are on 12 points through 10 games. They have been very good of late and have won 4 of their last 5, so expect an exciting battle in this matchup.

When: Thursday, May 11, 2023 at 4:00 am EST

Brisbane looks to continue their great season this week against a strong Melbourn Strom side. This should be a great match, as Melbourne can challenge Brisbane at the moment.

The Broncos are entering this match after a big win over the Sea Eagles. Meanwhile, the Melbourne Storm are looking to heat things up again after losing badly to the Rabbitohs. Melbourne will try to revive things as they need to climb higher in the standings. 

The 6th place Melbourne Storm are favorites entering this matchup at -2.5. The Brisbane Broncos have proven their legitimacy this season and should really be considered a favorite. Seeing Brisbane as an underdog at +2.5 is definitely a decent play here.

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs vs New Zealand Warriors

NRL Odds: Bulldogs -0.5 -114, Warriors +0.5 -119 / Bulldogs +1948, Warriors -101 / O/U 41.5
When: Friday, May 12, 2023 at 4:00 am EST
Where: Accor Stadium, Sydney, Australia

The 15th-place Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs will try to revive their shaky season this week against a stronger New Zealand Warriors side. Although there is a large gap difference in the standings, the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs are only a game behind. 

A win here for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs would be huge to help get ahead in the standings. 

The Warriors are entering this game on a 3-game losing streak. This could be a great opportunity for them to come back and try and get things going again. The Warriors are listed as favorites at -2.5; this could be favorable as the Warriors are due for a win.

This should be an action-packed week full of National Rugby League games! Some results could really shake things up for the league standings and make things a lot more interesting for the remainder of the season.

Sydney Roosters vs Penrith Panthers

NRL Odds: Roosters +5.5 -111, Panthers -5.5 -119 / Roosters -1948, Panthers -101 / O/U 41.5
When: Friday, May 12, 2023 at 6:00 am EST
Where: BlueBet Stadium, Penrith, Australia

The Panthers will look to continue climbing this season as they take on the Sydney Roosters. Both teams are tied at the moment on points in the table. However, the Roosters are in 8th place. This means a win here for the Roosters can be extremely helpful for their season hopes. 

The Panthers are entering this matchup after a low scoring win against the Warriors. Meanwhile, the Sydney Roosters are entering this matchup after a loss in their last one against the North Queensland Cowboys. 

The Over/Under is set at 39.5 for this matchup. Both teams have proved to be low-scoring and low-conceding teams; this could be an equation for a pretty low-scoring matchup.
