North Queensland Cowboys vs Penrith Panthers Preview
The Cowboys shape as a tremendous bet at home to the Panthers off a humiliating performance against the Sharks.
Big early-season home underdogs are cash money, covering at 66%, while teams off conceding 42-plus in the opening eight rounds cover at 61%.
Penrith are a great team riding three straight premierships but even with the return of Nathan Cleary, this is not a good spot.
The Panthers have covered just 5 of 13 interstate off a big win.
Scott Drinkwater has been in great tryscoring form this year with five tries and now has 27 tries from his last 50 games.
Turuva has eight tries in his last five games.
