Dragons vs Warriors Prediction: Easy Cover | NRL Round 12
Warriors have won four on the trot. Dragons have lost four on the trot. One side is humming and the other is running on fumes, and the line gives the visitors a thirteen-point head start that looks like the easiest cover on the slate.
Our model has the Warriors by thirty-three. That is twenty points of edge over the line, which is what happens when you put the form-line bull against the form-line bear in the same paddock.
The Warriors are scoring in flurries and conceding nothing. Dragons cannot get out of their own way – they could not score against a depleted Knights side a fortnight back and the Panthers put them away without breaking sweat.
The risk is a derby-style trip to Kogarah where Dragons fans might lift the home side for an hour. Stranger things have happened, and an early Warriors error can change a quarter.
Not enough to pass. Auckland by twenty plus is the call and the line should be paid off well before the final whistle.
Dragons vs Warriors Tip
Warriors by 33 in a game that should be over by half-time, and the line is generous given how lopsided the form lines are.
