Warriors vs Broncos Odds
Team | Hcp | Moneyline | Total |
---|---|---|---|
New Zealand Warriors | +3.5 -110 | +120 | O 46.5 -120 |
Brisbane Broncos | -3.5 -115 | -170 | U 46.5 -120 |
It comes as no surprise to see NRL betting odds have the Broncos favored to win at -3.5.
They are the form team of this matchup, but there has been more betting support for the Warriors since markets opened.
More money is likely to come for the Warriors, who were dismal last week, but they are the more desperate team.
The current total is 46.5 points, so a high-scoring game is expected. Weather in Auckland on Saturday is expected to be fine and clear, which makes for ideal conditions at Go Media Stadium.
Warriors vs Broncos Betting Preview
Backs Against the Wall for Warriors
Losing 66-6 against the worst team in the competition is hard to do. But the New Zealand Warriors achieved the feat last week. It was their worst-ever performance since joining the NRL in 1995, and it was embarrassing to watch. However, that should make them tough to beat with their backs against the wall.
They also play well against the Broncos, and with a home crowd in Auckland behind them, they could win at rugby odds of +120.
Our Warriors vs Broncos betting picks look at both sides of the coin, and although it would be easy to jump off their backs, this could be the ideal time to bet on the Warriors.
Producing two shocking performances in a row could see them unravel, and they’re too talented to be that bad.
Key Injuries
There are two key injuries for the Warriors. Half Shaun Johnson is out with a hamstring injury, so they’re down their best player. Bunty Afoa also misses the game.
Betting Trends
Money has come for the Warriors in the top rugby betting sites. This is despite losing Johnson throughout the week. The occasion is the reason why money has come for the home side.

Broncos Hoping to End Losing Streak
The Broncos have lost three consecutive games, and they are struggling to perform during the State of Origin period. They lost to the Titans, Sharks, and Rabbitohs, and having scored only 12 points against the Sharks and Rabbitohs is a major concern.
This team has too much scoring power to score only 12 points. They have a lot of Origin players returning on Saturday, but they could be tired.
In the head-to-head matchup, the Brisbane Broncos have won the last two meetings, including a 42-12 win last year. That should give them confidence for the Round 17 matchup, but in the years prior, the Warriors made it tough for the Broncos.
It all depends on the returning Origin players and how they measure up. They will be battered and bruised after Origin Game 2 on Wednesday, so that plays into the hands of the Warriors.
Key Injuries
Israel Leota and Jordan Riki are out of the team, making way for returning players Corey Oates and Jesse Arthars.
Betting Trends
We expected the Broncos to be at shorter odds, and bettors have rallied around the Warriors.
The -2.5 line may as well be -3.5. Teams don’t win by three points, so the Broncos will need to win by a try to cover the spread.
Warriors to Avenge Record Loss
Our Warriors vs Broncos betting picks have the Warriors bouncing back from a record loss.
It’s going to take all their courage to get the job done, but the opportunity is there for the home side to produce the goods.
Money is coming for the Warriors to cover the spread, which adds to our confidence levels. They can’t be that bad in consecutive weeks, so it’s a test of mentality.
The Broncos also can’t afford another loss, but with a sold-out crowd behind them, the Warriors are our pick at better odds. Good luck with all of your NRL predictions!
