Newcastle +6 v Brisbane ($1.83)
Home underdogs are 18-10 against the spread this year and those getting six or more points have covered 11 of 16. That puts Newcastle in a good spot here and they have won four of their last five against the Broncos. Brisbane have really emerged over the last month but they have covered just five of 18 away from Suncorp and just 10 of 24 off a win.

Bradman Best Try ($3.00)
Bradman Best has just three tries this year but scored last week against Canterbury and gets an excellent matchup against defensive liability Kotoni Staggs. Best should score in a game that is forecast to be high-scoring.

Selwyn Cobbo 2+ Tries ($4.40)
Young Broncos star Selwyn Cobbo has scored seven tries in the last four games including two doubles and a hat-trick. The Knights have been vulnerable on their edges and lack speed so a Cobbo double looks plenty of value.
