Penrith are set to completely maul the Gold Coast as they are looking to build momentum heading into the finals.
Best Bet
It would take a game bettor to take the Titans even with the big start this week. The Gold Coast have clearly thrown in the towel and Penrith will get plenty from a big win.
The Titans have lost David Fifita to boot, making the task all the more daunting.
Penrith have dominated this matchup with five straight wins, four of which have been by 14 or more.
Penrith are 15-8 ATS against teams outside the finals and 25-16 ATS at Penrith Stadium. The Panthers are 43-31 ATS in NSW.
The Titans are 11-21 ATS interstate while bottom four teams off a loss of seven or more cover at just 41% from Rounds 21-27.
Penrith and by plenty.

Paul Alamoti has been super since moving to Penrith with five tries in 12 games.
Dylan Edwards has five tries in six starts at fullback against the Titans.
Izack Tago is in good tryscoring form with four tries in his last five games.
Value Bet
James Fisher-Harris has become a tryscoring machine the last fortnight, crossing in both the loss to the Raiders and the win over Souths. He now has four for the year. With the Titans so weak through the middle, he is a huge green light play.
