Leeds are 11/10 favourites for the Grand Final after all but wrapping up the regular-season title with victory over St Helens on Friday night.
England winger Ryan Hall grabbed a brace of tries as the Rhinos beat Saints 18-10.
Victory in a gripping Grand Final re-match that lived up to all expectations in front of a 19,997 Headingley crowd took the Rhinos two points clear of their arch rivals with one round of the regular season left to play.
It means Leeds need only avoid a heavy defeat in their last match at lowly Salford next Friday to ensure they go into the play-offs in pole position as they seek a hat-trick of Grand Final successes.
However the win was marred by a potential season-ending injury to skipper Kevin Sinfield.
Rhinos coach Brian McClennan revealed after the match that the goalkicking loose forward sustained a suspected fractured cheekbone and that helps explain why bookies have barely altered their Grand Final prices despite Leeds' win.
The Rhinos are a top-priced 11/10 with bet365 and totesport, with Saints on offer at 7/4 with Coral and it's then 9/1 bar.
