Bulldogs vs Roosters NRL Round 5 betting predictions

Bulldogs vs Roosters NRL betting preview

The Canterbury Bulldogs have named the same 13 who put forward a fantastic performance against the Dragons last week to take the pressure off their coach, Dean Pay.

After a slow start, the Dogs completed 38 total sets with just one error in the final 60 minutes of the contest.

The step up in class they face in round five is akin to a maiden trying its luck in the Caulfield Cup.

After running riot over the Broncos in their 59-0 win, the Sydney Roosters moved back to 2020 NRL Premiership favouritism at $4.50 with Sportsbet.

What’s even scarier for Bulldogs fans is the defending champs will have James Tedesco back in a full-strength lineup.

The $1.10 is one of the shortest NRL betting prices ever on record in the head-to-head stakes and the line of 16.5 is one of the biggest starts ever given.

Their last four games have gone blowout, close, blowout, close, which suggests the $10 for a Roosters win between 21-25 points is worth a thought.

The red hot Roosters’ left edge, namely Josh Morris, got the chocolates in the first try scorer market against the Broncos, but this may be a week to look at another option for the opener.

Tedesco crossed the line first the last time these two met and will be backed off the map once more ahead of this clash.
