Dolphins vs Storm Betting Analysis

The Storm are higher up the NRL ladder, and because the Dolphins have some of their best players involved in State of Origin, that should give them the advantage. The Melbourne Storm also has its best players in State of Origin, but the Storm have more depth to their lineup.

The line moved from an opening quote of -3.5, so most of the money has come for the visitors, and we’re not surprised by that.

Getting -3.5 was a gift for Melbourne Storm backers, but it’s gone, so now bettors must decide whether to take the tricky -6.5 line. The Storm are capable winning by more than a converted try, as they have one of the best attacking backlines in the competition.

Recent form also goes to the Storm covering the spread, so the betting confidence looks spot on.

Dolphins vs Storm Betting Preview & Updates

There has been no support for the Dolphins since markets opened with betting odds for rugby. They opened as +3.5 underdogs before a plethora of money came for the Storm to win and cover the spread, despite playing at home, bettors believe class will prevail with the Storm, who boast much more depth than the Dolphins.

That’s likely to play a key part in this game, hence the significant betting moves with the best rugby betting sites.

Dolphins vs Storm Betting Prediction

We’re backing the Storm with our Dolphins vs Storm betting odds and picks. They are the much safer bet, and although getting a -3.5 line would have been nice, we’re still happy with the current -6.5 line.

Players coming off the bench for the Storm are much better than the reserves for the Dolphins, who need their best players to perform. With the depth of the Storm, we see them covering the spread and winning by double digits.
