The Brisbane Broncos suffered their sixth loss in their past eight games against the Penrith Panthers last weekend, but they will still start this clash with the Sydney Roosters as favourites.
There is clearly something going wrong at the Broncos and their defence has proven to be a very big liability, while the Anthony Milford and Ben Hunt are not playing at anywhere near their best.
The Broncos once reliable betting record is long gone and they have won just five of their past nine games as away favourites, while they are 4-5 against the line in this scenario.
The Sydney Roosters’ woes continued with their loss to the Melbourne Storm last weekend and they have not won a single game since they beat the Wests Tigers on June 5.
Scoring points has not been a problem for the Roosters, but their defence has been very poor in recent weeks and they have lost their past six games as home underdogs, with a very poor 1-1-4 against the line.
I have no interest whatsoever in backing either of these two sides in their current form, but with their defensive liabilities the Over in the total points betting market looks like a simply outstanding bet.
Recommended Bet: Back The Over (41.5 Points)
