Gold Coast Titans vs North Queensland Cowboys prediction
North Queensland Cowboys’ battle to finish inside the top eight and reach the finals looks set to go right down to the wire and with only four games left of the regular season including this one, gaining victory is absolutely pivotal for them. They take on a Gold Coast Titans side eight points below them and coming off the back of losing their 13th NRL game of the campaign.
The Cowboys have no choice but to go for it here, they cannot afford to lay an egg from an offensive perspective. However, their backline is a huge concern after shipping a whopping 82 points against Sydney Roosters. That could mean a high-scoring match is in prospect, so backing over 48.5 points may be a shrewd play.
Gold Coast Titans vs North Queensland Cowboys tip: Over 48.5 total points
