Teams off conceding 50 are always a good bet and Souths are an even better play than normal after their 50-28 loss to the Dolphins last week.
Those teams that concede at least 50 points cover at 65% while those who scored 20 or more in the game they conceded 50-plus in covering at 76%.
Souths are primed for a bounce back this week and even more so with Wayne Bennett usually hellbent on finding new ways to humiliate Anthony Seibold.
Souths have covered six of their last eight when an underdog of at least eight points while they are 6-2 ATS in their last eight off conceding 25-plus.
Manly are also in a huge lay spot.
The Sea Eagles are 19-26 ATS when favoured. They are 2-7 ATS against bottom five teams. They have not covered any of their last five off scoring 28-plus. They are 6-12 ATS when favoured by eight or more points.
Souths look an outstanding bet getting the points.

Tolutau Koula is flying with 10 tries in his last 12 games.
Tyrone Munro is an elite tryscorer with 10 tries in 12 NRL games.
Value Bet
Keaon Koloamatangi should be playing State of Origin this week but has ridiculously been left out of the NSW team for reasons only Laurie Daley understands. The big prop has four tries in 16 games this season including two in his last five. He is huge odds to score against a weak Manly middle.
