Raiders at short odds to beat Eels The Canberra Raiders will be at their shortest odds with the bookies for 14 years when they host the struggling Parramatta Eels at Canberra Stadium on Saturday night.
The Raiders are an almost unbackable $1.08 to beat the Eels, who are $8 outsiders to snap a seven-game losing streak.
Combined with the fact the Raiders have won their past 11 matches at home and it's easy to see why the Green Machine is considered a certainty to continue Parramatta's misery.
The last time the Raiders were this short was when they were $1.07 against the Balmain Tigers in a round 26 clash in 1999.
The Raiders justified the bookies' faith on that occasion with a 42-14 victory, while they were also $1.13 before beating the Bulldogs 52-34 in round 26, 2008.
