Brisbane -18.5 v Newcastle ($1.95)
The Broncos look set to absolutely batter the hapless Knights and even though this is a very big line it does not look close to being big enough. The Broncos have covered 14 of 18 meetings against the Knights and have an outstanding cover record at Suncorp, beating the handicap in 14 of their last 17. The Knights cover at less than 33% off a win.

North Queensland ($2.32) v Sydney Roosters
The Roosters have a good recent record against the Cowboys but North Queensland have been the most reliable team to bet all season. The Roosters have covered just 4 of 13 off a win and 5 of 14 as a favourite so this looks like a vulnerable spot. The Cowboys have covered 14 of 20 this season and 8 of 10 road games. They can get the job done as an outsider this week.

Corey Oates 2+ Tries ($2.90)
Corey Oates is enjoying a tremendous season and has a great record against the Knights with 10 tries in his last 10 games against Newcastle. The big Broncos winger has four doubles in his last five games so can post a multi-try game.
