New Zealand ($3.60) v Canberra
The Warriors are really undervalued in this one against the Raiders. They have played Canberra particularly well in recent years with the last 10 meetings split down the middle and the Warriors covering three of their last four. Canberra cover at just 42% off a win and are very poor favourites at home when the elect by more than a converted try.
