North Queensland Cowboys vs Gold Coast Titans Match Prediction
North Queensland -5.5 ($1.90)
There has been little to like about North Queensland through two weeks as Todd Payten clings to his job as head coach by only his well-worn fingernails and anything shy of a smashup here will keep him well in the furnace. The numbers dictate though that the Cowboys have to be bet laying less than a converted try. North Queensland have dominated this matchup with six wins in the last eight including four straight in Townsville that have all been by margins of 12 or more. The Cowboys have covered 10 of the last 12 against the Titans in Townsville. While the Cowboys come off a humiliating defeat, they do tend to bounceback with a 65% cover rate off a double digit loss. North Queensland are 8-2 against the spread off conceding 40-plus and 10-4 against the number off a loss of 20-plus. With bottom five road teams covering at 35% before Round 6, the Cowboys can be bet with confidence. Jaxon Purdue has 15 tries in 20 games starting in the centres. Braidon Burns has 13 tries in 19 games since moving to the North Queensland Cowboys. Helium Luki has two tries in six games against Gold Coast.
