The over looks a great bet with projected good weather for the Eels-Storm clash on Sunday afternoon.

Even though these two have a history of low-scoring games with 10 of the last 14 going under with an average total of 38 across that run.

This is just a great over spot for both teams though, particularly with the Eels missing a number of superstars.

The over is 25-15 when the Storm play teams outside of the Top 8. It is also 23-13 when they are a double digit favourite. The Storm have stopped 30 three times this year.

The bigger angle though is with the Eels, where the numbers are astonishing.

The over is 19-10 when the Eels play intestate. They are 26-11 when they are off a loss. The over is 24-11 when the Eels are an underdog including an 11-3 over record when they are an outsider of at least eight points.

Pound the over and pound it hard.

Parramatta are awful defensively on their left edge and that bodes well for Eli Katoa. Katoa is a quality tryscorer who has crossed three times this year. He is an excellent line runner and he is not afraid to go himself from dummy half. He is a super play.
