As the National Rugby League rounds out their Week 15 with an early Saturday morning match between Wests Tigers and the Sydney Roosters, the weekend appears that much brighter on the landscape of degeneracy.

The Sydney Roosters come into this matchup as a -6 (-110) favorite, along with -225 moneyline to-win odds, and a recent streak of 3-2 win/loss record in their past five matches played. As the current fourth-overall seed in the NRL, their outcomes have most recently been close ones, whether wins or losses.

Wests Tigers, the NRL’s current ninth-seeded club and +185 to-win odds in this given matchup, tend to play the bottom half of the league in close victories while getting handled by any of the league’s top challengers. Most recently in Week 14, the Tigers eked out a one-point 29-28 win over the NRL’s bottom-feeder in the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs: who has scored a league-low 188 points, while allowing the fourth-most points at 341 on the season.

The Tigers have surprisingly scored the league’s fifth-most points on the season with 314, and signify their close wins and losses by nearly matching this total in points allowed, a 301 total thus far.

Sydney has fared moderately against the top contenders, with a win at the season’s start over now top-seeded Penrith Panthers, but a monkey they can’t shake in the second-seeded Melbourne Storm, whom they’ve surrendered two losses to this year already (most recently in Week 14). The Roosters, to match their rank identically, have scored the fourth-most in the league at 354 points while allowing the third-fewest in 198 points.

At the same time the plus-money intrigue isn’t exactly existent in the moneyline for this match on behalf of a mediocre Wests Tigers club, given their inability to win against the top challengers, their propensity to lose by seven points or greater to these noteworthy opponents isn’t exactly a strong argument for the +6 (-110) point-spread either. Their blowout victories have only come against the league’s markedly worst club offerings, while Sydney’s Roosters are clucking in victories against teams from the top and bottom.

I will be laying the six-points at -110 here, as I could envision a double-digit victory on behalf of the fourth-seed determined to get back on winning stride following a second frustrating loss to the Storm just a week ago.

Pick:  Sydney Roosters -6 (-110)
