Cowboys vs. Knights Predictions

Best Bet

Knights +6.5 @ $1.90

We can’t trust the Cowboys to beat any team by more than a converted try, so we’re backing the Knights to cover the spread.

It could pay to throw form guides out the window for this game because it comes down to attitude, and although the Knights have been poor offensively and defensively, they should be able to contain the troubled Cowboys offence.

The Knights have a solid backline, including Dominic Young, Bradman Best, and Dane Gagai. Those players alone could give the Cowboys’ defence fits, so take the Knights to keep it close on the road.

Same Game Multi

Knights +6.5, Dominic Young Anytime Try Scorer, Braidon Burns Anytime Try Scorer, Over 46.5 @ $10.00

Over 46.5 is worth including in picks as they should open the floodgates and throw the ball around. They have nothing to lose, so punters should expect the Cowboys and Knights to play with more freedom.

Looking to score tries are Braidon Burns and Dominic Young. Burns scored a try in each of his last two tries, and he’ll look to keep that run going on Sunday.

Young hasn’t scored in his last three games, but the rangy winger should score against the Cowboys, who don’t have much height on the wing to catch the high balls. He’s a $1.92 chance to score, which is worth including in picks.

Best Value Bet

Knights 1-12 @ $3.80

Upsets often happen when teams have no chance of making the finals, as it comes down to attitude.

Despite a rough season, the Knights should be looking forward to 2026, where they welcome Dylan Brown on a big contract.

Getting $3.80 for a Knights 1-12 win is worth taking as a value bet.
