The Raiders Are Favourites On Form. The Numbers Disagree.
The Raiders are road favourites at minus 1.5 because they’ve shown more attacking life this year. Read the defensive numbers and that pricing falls apart. Titans conceding 21.6 a game over the last five, Raiders bleeding 31. That’s a ten-point gap on the wrong side of the ledger.
Our model has the Titans by a single point at home. The bookies have the Raiders by 1.5. At $2.08 the Titans are a pure flip-of-the-coin price on a side that’s the better defensive outfit.
The risk is the Raiders’ upside. They put 36 on the Rabbitohs in Perth and rolled the Storm at GIO, so the threat is real. Get the wrong week and they bury this in twenty minutes.
But they got beaten by 19 by Wests at Leichhardt last round, and the Titans are home on the Gold Coast where they can grind. Even-money on the better defence is the trade. Take the Titans, take the price.
Titans vs Raiders Tip
Take the Titans head-to-head at $2.08; the model has them winning by one and the bookies have it the wrong way around.
