This Week's Rugby League - Part Two

Bradford v Leeds



10th April 19:30 BST

I don't usually recommend the points bets but this one jumped off the page. I realise that this bet is often weather related and the forecast is poor for most of the day in Yorkshire but by kick off time the worst of the rain is due to have passed. In any case this quote has taken in to account the weather and more. Bradford's recent games have been very high scoring and their defence looks very porous to me and what better team to exploit it than their arch rivals Leeds. Leeds like nothing better than turning Bradford over and have done so with regularity recently. This is a very poor Bradford side and injuries to Morrison and Deacon won't have helped their cause. I would be very surprised if Leeds don't post a fair few tries and I'm hopeful that Bradford can get their share too. Either way we are only looking at seven tries if the kickers have their boots on and that is low for a rugby league game. In normal circumstances I would have made this around the 48pt mark but taking in to consideration the wet conditions I'll drop to 42pts but no lower, hence the bet.

Pick: Over 37.5pts 3pts @ 1.83 with Boylesports
