North Queensland -5.5 at Gold Coast ($1.98)
Both teams are missing key players but it is hard to see the Titans pushing this one with star Tino Fa’asuamaleaui and David Fifita both absent. The Cowboys have lost four players but seem better equipped. The Cowboys won six weeks ago 30-4 while they are 9-3 against the spread this year. The Cowboys covered six of seven on the road and can do so again.
