What to do?

On paper, this is tight! But the Cowboys are doing just enough to tip the scales. They’re ahead in win rate, have a slightly better power score, and they’ve been up against tougher opposition week to week. Meanwhile, the Panthers’ numbers are strong but not dominant.

With the market pricing the Panthers as clear favourites, that opens the door for a value play on the Cowboys. At $2.25 and a modelled win probability of 53.64%, they’re offering up one of the strongest betting edges of the round.

I’m not entirely sure what has happened to the Panthers this year to have such a significant fall from grace, surprisingly the bookies still have them floating around the $11.00 mark to take the premiership all while sitting at third from the bottom of the ladder!

Both prediction and tempo are set below the anticipated 47.5 points by the bookies, so betting on the UNDER is a solid bet.

Cowboys have a slight upper hand here but the Panthers have a golden opportunity to rise from the ashes and begin clawing their way back to the top.

Unibet is paying $13.36 for the Panthers -3.5, UNDER 48.5, Cowboys 1-12 winning margin multi.
