<h2>Raiders vs Broncos Prediction and Betting Tips</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Head-to-Head Prediction</h3> <p>New season, new coach, new Broncos. Brisbane looked every inch a premiership force as they put 50 on the Roosters in Michael Maguire’s first match in charge.</p> <p>A million miles from the team that limped to the finish line last season, with everyone on deck fit and firing and Ben Hunt now part of the fold, Brisbane are going to have plenty of backers from here on out, us included.</p> <p>The Raiders put on a show of their own stateside, pummelling the Warriors and should offer plenty of resistance at home, just not enough for our liking.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> Brisbane Broncos.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>First Try Scorer Prediction</h3> <p>Young flyer Xavier Savage scored twice last week in the first half as the Raiders got off to a red-hot start against the Warriors in Vegas.</p> <p>He looks primed for a big year on the wing for the Green Machine despite naturally being a fullback and we’re backing him to get the party started here against the Broncos.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong>Xavier Savage.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Over/Under Prediction</h3> <p>Ten of Canberra’s last 11 matches have gone under the total match points line of 50.5.</p> <p>That being said, their opponents here, the Broncos, scored 50 on their own last week. Still, that’s quite the stat and the Raiders should offer a hell of lot more resistance than the depleted Roosters did.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> Under total match points (50.5).</p>
