The Melbourne Storm are historically excellent value when playing after a loss, particularly a big one.
Best Bet
No team responds better to adversity than the Melbourne Storm. The Storm have covered 11 of 16 off a loss. They have covered four straight off a double digit loss. They are 15-8 against the spread off conceding more than 18. And there were excuses last week. Not only was Ryan Papenjuyzen out but Jahrome Hughes was a late withdrawal and Harry Grant took a knock very early that rendered him a passenger for much of the match.
Being on the road poses no concerns for Melbourne. They have covered 39 of 60 away from AAMI and are 30-15 against the spread on the road when favoured by more than a try.
They have also been locked in camp all week and the Storm always perform well after a camp.
The Cowboys have been good this year but have benefited from a very soft draw. They have covered just 6 of 18 getting more than a try and just 4 of 14 off a double digit win.
The Storm should win well, particularly if Jahrome Hughes returns.
