The Greatest Rivalry Tour concludes on Sunday morning at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, where the All Blacks have made changes in an effort to even the series at 2-2.
We have our Springboks vs All Blacks prediction for the 4th test, where the All Blacks could cause an upset with the latest rugby odds.
It’s fair to say that the All Blacks haven’t had the rub of the green during the series. They had a tough call when Reuben Love was sent to the bin last week, which had a big impact on the final score.
However, despite this, they have remained in the fight, and they have covered the spread in all three games. They covered consecutive +7.5 lines before covering a +6.5 line last week with a late try.
We’re happy to stick with the All Blacks in Baltimore, and although playing in the US hasn’t been a happy hunting ground for the ABs, they’re unlikely to make the same mistakes as when they faced Ireland in Chicago.
There is respect in betting markets, so bookmakers expect a close contest. That’s the theme of this series, and the All Blacks headline our rugby tips this week at the +4.5 line.
They scored only 53 points last week, and it could be a tight defensive battle.
They don’t have much experience playing in the US, and the different dimensions could throw them off enough to see the tries dry up.
We expect South Africa to do a lot of kicking into the corners to set up their lineup, and that could take off the clock. We saw that last week, and the game was going easily under the mark until the ABs scored after the final hooter.
Our Springboks vs All Blacks prediction has the All Blacks winning 30-25, so include under 57.5 points in rugby predictions.
If you’re thinking about taking the All Blacks to win at $2.40, you may as well grab the better odds for a 1-12 win.
Of course, they could win by 13+ points, but the Springboks are unlikely to go down easily as the favourites, and it should be a close contest either way.
The $3.80 odds for an All Blacks 1-12 win are generous from the team at Betcha, and it’s one of the better value bets of the series.
Our Springboks vs All Blacks prediction includes a same-game multi, which pays $6.79 for the final test of the series.
Our rugby tips this week have the All Blacks +4.5, under 57.5 points, All Blacks first-half winner, and under 3.5 first-half tries.
It should be a tight first half, and we have the All Blacks leading 17-10, so include these options in your SGM picks.
