Brisbane have looked surprisingly good through two rounds and can put themselves firmly in the mix with a third-straight victory.
Best Bet
Brisbane -5.5 ($1.90)
All signs point to Brisbane when they host an ordinary North Queensland team that has an abhorrent road record.
The Broncos have dominated this matchup in recent years with six wins in their last nine meetings. They have covered seven of those. Brisbane have won eight of the last nine against the Cowboys at Suncorp.
The Cowboys have covered just two of 13 games away from Townsville and just one of their last five at Suncorp.
Brisbane have covered four of five at Suncorp when favoured and this looks a game they can run away with.
Same Game Multi
Selwyn Cobbo Try/Herbie Farnworth Try/Kotoni Staggs Try ($11.00)
Cobbo has just two tries but he has top-end speed so the tries will come.
Farnworth has scored four tries in his last six games including an outstanding double against the Bulldogs last week.
Staggs has three tries in his last three games against the Cowboys.
Value Bet
Winning Margin 2: Brisbane 19+ ($4.33)
The insipid Cowboys is attack is unlikely to breakdown the Broncos defence that has conceded just three tries all year. Brisbane’s attack should be able to find more space this week and with Adam Reynolds a game down, the Broncos three-quarter line can cut loose.
