North Queensland Cowboys vs Penrith Panthers Preview

The Cowboys present a strong betting opportunity at home against the Panthers, especially after their disappointing performance against the Sharks. Early-season home underdogs have a solid track record, covering at a rate of 66%. Additionally, teams coming off conceding 42-plus points in the early rounds cover at 61%. Despite Penrith’s formidable reputation, their performance after big wins interstate has been inconsistent, covering just 5 of 13 times. With the return of Nathan Cleary, the Panthers may have some added firepower, but the Cowboys have players like Scott Drinkwater and Turuva in excellent try-scoring form, making them a dangerous opponent.
