Penrith -19.5 v Canberra ($1.84)
Penrith have been completely dominant at Panthers Stadium in recent years with 20 covers in their last 29 at the ground. They have covered eight of 10 as a double digit favourite at the ground. Canberra have covered just five of their last 18 on the road and two of eight off scoring 12 or fewer.

Newcastle ($3.10) v Parramatta
Home underdogs of 8 or more cover at 64% but also returns a positive return on investment when bet outright. The Knights have covered 9 of 14 at home and come off some gritty performances. The Eels looked slow as injuries have taken toll and the loss of Campbell-Gillard will hurt. The Knights should give a mighty sight.

Izack Tago 2+ Tries ($5.50)
Penrith are going hard at their left this year and it has reflected in plenty of tries to Taylan May and Izack Tago. Tago has five tries in six games including a double while he has probably had more tries disallowed by The Bunker than any other. This is a strong bet.
