Following a 32-28 loss to the Queensland Reds, the Crusaders sit 10th on the ladder with a 2-0-8 record. The reigning champions must win their four remaining games to make the playoffs. Even if they do, a sixth-consecutive Super Rugby title doesn’t appear in the cards for the club from Christchurch, New Zealand.

Two favorites emerge
The Blues (+200) and Hurricanes (+200) have matching 9-0-1 records following round 11 of the season. Auckland will be looking to avenge their 29-21 loss to their Wellington-based rivals in week 3 of the season when the two New Zealand clubs meet again this Saturday. Both are coming off dominating efforts, with the Blues spanking the Rebels 38-11 and the Hurricanes whacking the Waratahs 41-12.
Auckland has three Super Rugby championships but none since 2003, while Wellington captured their first and only title in 2016. The Hurricanes’ sole loss this year was a 27-19 defeat to the Brumbies (+900) in late April.

Chiefs and Brumbies close behind
With a 7-3 record on the season, the Chiefs (+225) have only slightly longer odds than the Blues and Hurricanes. They fell 36-23 to the Hurricanes in April, but have yet to play the Blues. They dismantled the Brumbies 46-12 back in March.
The Brumbies (+900) were also walloped 46-7 by the Blues a few weeks back. Those two defeats are why the club from Canberra, Australia is listed at +900 despite sitting in third place with a 8-0-2 record.
Defending champs go down
The Crusaders (+2500) reignited their playoff hopes with a 39-0 victory over the fourth-placed Melbourne Rebels in round 10. However, the defending champions fell 33-28 to the Queensland Reds (+2500) on Saturday. With a miserable 2-0-8 record, the Christchurch club would need to win out to have any chance at making the postseason.

Best Longshot
While the Reds (+2500) only have a mediocre 5-0-5 record, they’ve played the top teams tough this year. That includes a 25-19 victory over the Chiefs, a seven-point loss to the Blues in round 10, and a five-point defeat to the Hurricanes in round 2.
If you’re looking for a longshot with legs, take Queensland to win their first Super League title since 2011.
