Market:: Line/Handicap
Tip:: Eels -11.5 @ 1.87 (bet365)
Tip Result:: Loss

This time the NRL heads to Darwin for the matchup between the Eels and the under fire Raiders. And speaking of fire, or heat anyway, the temperature at kick off is predicted to be a balmy 27 degrees which is a far cry from the subzero numbers that Mother Nature has been tossing up in Canberra lately.
One must wonder if Raiders Coach Ricky Stuart has been trying to converse with Mother Nature or some other godly entity, praying for cyclones to put premature ends to some of the floggings his side has copped.
Let us not mince words over how ordinary the Raiders have been; the left side defence seemingly parts like the Red Sea for opponents and the rot doesn’t look like stopping anytime soon.
Parramatta will no doubt look to exploit this weakness and you can expect to see Jarryd Hayne loitering around the right edge in attack trying to sniff out a gap and ultimately some tries.
And when it comes to tries I’m expecting lots of them, so if you plan on downing a beer with your mates every time a try is scored, I’m tipping you’ll be on the floor in no time.
Which leads me to my best bet; the line for total match points currently sits at 45.5 and although that might seem like a lot to the average joe, I’m predicting it won’t be enough and I won’t be surprised if around 60 points are scored in this encounter.
The match is going to be played out on a fast, dry-ish track and humidity isn’t expected to be high enough to create much moisture in and around the playing surface.
Jump on the overs and don’t be surprised when the Eels hand the Raiders yet another belting.
Make sure you get on the Eels -11.5 @ $1.87 on Bet365 before the price firms.
