Melbourne host the Sydney Roosters in a game that will have monumental consequences on the makeup of the Top 8 with the Storm needing to win to stay in the Top 4 while the Roosters are fighting for their finals life.
Best Bet
You don’t often get a game where two teams meet both coming off scoring 60-plus with the Storm rolling into this off a 60-12 win over Brisbane while the Sydney Roosters posted an insane 72-6 victory over the Wests Tigers.
The Storm have an excellent record against the Roosters with five straight wins, covering each of those five. Melbourne cover at a clip of 67% off a win of 13-plus and the Roosters have covered just 2 of 10 as an underdog of more than a try so the Storm look the play.
The best bet though is on the over with both teams coming in scoring freely. This is a big over spot for both teams.
The over is 11-1 when Melbourne are off a win and 15-5 when they are off conceding 12 or fewer while it hits at a clip of 63% when they are off a win of 13-plus.
The over is 13-4 when the Roosters are an underdog and 30-15 when they are off a double digit win.
There should be plenty of points in this one.

David Nofoaluma is loving his move to the Storm with three tries in his last two games.
Justin Olam has scored three tries in his last three games and is running as hard as he has all year.
Value Bet
Jahrome Hughes continues to be one of the most undervalued tryscoring options, at least relative to the betting market. He has 11 tries this year and three tries in his last five games. He has scored four tries in his last five games against the Roosters.
