Cowboys vs. Broncos Predictions
—
Best Bet
Getting Adam Reynolds back is massive for the Broncos, and he doesn’t need time to slot back into the halves position.
The Broncos have been heavily backed to win, and although the Cowboys come off a come-from-behind win against the Wests Tigers, they haven’t been consistent enough for punters to back them with confidence.
They have a 38-20 advantage over the Cowboys, including a 26-16 win earlier this year, and that’s a good form guide. We’re happy to back the Broncos to win by more than a converted try, and this is a Broncos team that can run up big numbers. They have scored 84 points from the last two weeks, which is ominous.

Same Game Multi
Reece Walsh’s return has sparked Brisbane back to life, and he’s showing why he’s one of the best players in the NRL. He scored one try last week, but he could have scored a double had he not given the ball to Kobe Heatherington over the line.
Punters get $1.99 for Walsh to score his fourth try in his last five games, and that’s an excellent price. Another good price is Deine Mariner at $1.91, after he powered his way over the line for three tries in his last two games.
We have included over 49.5 points in our NRL SGM picks. It could be a try-fest, as it was when they met at this stadium last year with Brisbane winning 42-18.

Best Value Bet
The $2.55 for the Broncos to win by 13+ points is a good value bet. We expect them to put the Cowboys to the sword, especially with the Broncos chasing down a top four spot off the Warriors.
If there is a team capable of piling on the points, it’s the Broncos, and given North Queensland’s shocking defence at times, it could get pumped for a big score.
