Model accuracy on Bulldogs picks — 2025 season
Our ML ensemble was 58% accurate when predicting Bulldogs match outcomes across the full 2025 NRL season (27 rounds + finals). Below average — higher uncertainty, reduce stakes accordingly.
Key Patterns & Tendencies
- Cross-Tasman travel to Auckland is historically difficult: 27% win rate
- Coming off a win but model sees regression — Auckland road game is tough
- Better at home (50%) than away (33%) — venue matters significantly
- Mid-tier team with no strong patterns — most coin-flip-like in our data
Betting Approach for the Bulldogs
- Model does NOT favour Bulldogs crossing to Auckland in Round 8
- For this game, back the Warriors at home — travel factor is significant
- Bulldogs +5.5 might hold some value if you think the game is closer than modelled
- Best betting opportunity for Bulldogs: home games at Accor or CommBank
