Best Bet

Dolphins –2.5 @ $1.90

We’re not sure what happened with the Dolphins last week when losing 66-0 to the Sharks. It was, for lack of a better term, pathetic. However, with their State of Origin stars back in the team, a bounce back performance is expected.

Some were touting the Dolphins as potential title threats, but title winners haven’t been beaten 66-0 in recent memory. Therefore, the only way to right the ship is by playing their best against the Cowboys, and we’re happy to take the risk.

The Cowboys come off wins over the Panthers and Sea Eagles, so their confidence levels are up. It was a good rebound after losing three on the bounce, but they’re due a drop in form, so we’re taking the Dolphins to win and cover the spread.

The –2.5 line is generous enough for a team that can score plenty of points when they play at their best.

Dolphins –2.5, Selwyn Cobbo Anytime Try Scorer, Jamayne Isaako Anytime Try Scorer, Over 50.5 @ $7.00

Getting Selwyn Cobbo back in the team is a big plus for the Dolphins, and his try-scoring record is excellent. He has eight tries from his last five games, which is a terrific record, and he could add to it on Sunday.

Jamayne Isaako is also producing the goods this season. He has four tries from his last four games, and the Dolphins’ winger should get many chances to score.

We predict plenty of points in what should be good conditions. These teams have excellent offensive players, so over 50.5 points is wort including in NRL SGM picks.

Best Value Bet

Dolphins 13+ @ $3.05

The Dolphins need to bounce back with a big performance. Their chances of making the top eight could hinge on this weeks’ game, and they’re good enough to beat the Cowboys by a big margin.

Despite playing well over the last two weeks, the Cowboys often produce a bad effort following a couple of wins. The Dolphins could pounce and win easily, so take the $3.05 odds as a value bet.
