The Panthers Are Top. The Sea Eagles Are Unbeaten On The Road.
Top of the ladder hosting a side that’s won four on the bounce and is unbeaten away from home this year. Panthers haven’t lost in over a month, conceding 19 a game, and put 44 on the Knights last weekend. This is the kind of game where everyone hesitates on the line.
The model doesn’t. Penrith by sixteen, line at 12.5, four points of cover sitting on the books. Anyone backing the Sea Eagles to keep it tight is fighting against the season-long form of the comp’s best team.
The risk is the Sea Eagles’ away record. Three from three on the road including a 38-6 demolition of the Cowboys in Townsville and 33 over the Eels last week. They’ve been one of the teams in form coming into this round.
But Penrith at home with a defence this tight rolls most sides. The model says by sixteen, the line says 12.5, the cover is on. Get on.
Panthers vs Eagles Tip
Take the Panthers minus 12.5 at $1.98; the model has them by sixteen and the home defence is the tightest in the round.
