Super Rugby 2017 predictions

Blues are -12,5 against the Bulls in NZ. Should be -30,5 imo. Extremely generous handicap. Can see the handicap stretching quite considerably. Gift imo.

Highlanders are at 8/10 against the Brumbies.. While the Highlanders havent really performed in past seasons playing away at the Brumbies, the difference in class between the NZ sides and the Aus sides should make them a good thing.

Karma, sounds to good bets. Bulls have been shocking so far this year. My only concern with the Blues is they don't play two games alike. However even on an off day they should be able to beat this out of form Bulls side by more than 12,5 points.

Highlanders are great value against the Brumbies. I believe all 5 NZ sides are better than the best Aussie side. The Highlanders are slowly starting to find their form again and expect them to beat the Brumbies.

As Garrick posted on the other thread, this week we have 5 lob sided matches, 2 local derbies between mid to bottom table sides and one decent cross division encounter. No wonder attendances and viewership is dropping. This new 18 team format is not producing the quality of matches it did when there were only 15 sides.

Crusaders vs Force - Force + 19.5
Rebels vs Waratahs - Rebels +6.5
Blues vs Bulls - Blues -12.5
Brumbies vs Highlanders - Highlanders -1.5
Sunwolves vs Stormers - Stormers -22.5 :sick:
Kings vs Lions - Lions -25.5
Cheetahs vs Sharks - Sharks -3.5 :woohoo:
Jaguares vs Reds - Reds + 15.5 :woohoo:
Best treble for me
Blues -12.5 , Highlanders -1.5 , Sharks - 3.5 :woohoo:

The bulls are just brain-dead - coaches are awful and players even worse

That was tight.... but NZ "BMT" comes through AGAIN...

Highlnaders v Rebels

TRY ALERT TRY ALERT

Plenty of tries in this one. Highlanders just love scoring them and cant see them not crossing the Rebels line at least 6 times. Highlanders to win by at the very least 25 points and sent their student base fans off the pubs in a happy mood. Stock up publicans in Dunedin the students are coming in to drink your dry

Blues v Force

Blues looking good this season and a bonus point win is on the cards

Chiefs v Bulls

Bulls fans my suggestion to you is to either go for a walk and record the match (just in case that that 1% chance of you winning materialises) or hide behind the sofa with the sound off when the match is on. Chiefs by 30

Reds v Canes

Try alert as the Canes will run the ball at all opportunities. Reds to have red faces come 80 minutes

Stromers v Cheetahs

Good game this, lots of running rugby mistakes by the cheetahs will cost them and the Stormers will go 5/5 (enough to drive the Sharks fans to the tequila bottle)

Warratahs v Crusaders

Surely the saders luck has to run out but cant see it happening in this match

Lions v Sharks

Where do i start. Lions beaten in BA by the wonderful cnc team, Jaguares. The Sharks are piss poor and the Lions will win in a canter

Should be plenty of tries on offer this weekend with another week of lob sided fixtures. The prices of the favorites range from 1/50 to 1/3. I sound like a broken record now but this current format needs a serious makeover.

The less said about CNC write up , the better :sick:
Cheetahs to upset the Stormers :woohoo:
Sharks to upset the Lions :woohoo:
Treble for the weekend
Cheetahs+12.5,Sharks +9.5,Chiefs -21.5

Sharks to UPSET the Lions? :woohoo: wow your faith and expectations in your team have evaporated as fast as your mate, Trumps, approval ratings :lol: :lol:

I have played the yankee of NZ teams on handicap.... not harping on the same thing, but they are just better plain and simple. The biggest handicap is 23.5 which should be 40.5 imo. Worst case senario (well I am hoping anyway) is 3 of the 4 come through. Still a 7/10 bet for your money. When all come in, its 5/1 for your money.... serious bet imo....

Oh dear, how good am i :woohoo: Highlanders scored 6 tries just i predicted. :whistle:

The Blues seriously need to pull finger....
