Storm vs Cowboys NRL Round 18 betting predictions

Storm vs Cowboys NRL betting preview

The North Queensland Cowboys finally got a win in golden point last start, but you can forget about them making it two in a row.

The $1.09 price for the Melbourne Storm is indicative of how punters feel about this contest and reflects the sure-fire nature of this team’s absurdly good record in Queensland.

They have won their last 16 games north of the Tweed River, and there is just no roadmap to seeing that streak broken.

The Cowboys are at $9 head-to-head and a whopping $36 for a 13+ win, but anyone who is even thinking about taking either of those prices needs to see a doctor immediately.

Even taking the Cowboys at the +19.5 handicap is a little dangerous considering they are without superstar forward Jason Taumalolo.

If you are looking to boost your odds while backing the Storm, a long line might be the way to go given their winning margins against bottom-eight teams this year are 14, 44, 36, 38, 31 and 24.

Melbourne should run up a score, so the -30.5 at $3.60 looks a red-hot chance of sneaking home.

If you’re after a fun tryscoring bet, a Cameron Munster double can get you $15.

Another worth looking at is the $7.50 on offer for a Justin Olam double, as he lines up against Esan Marsters and will be far too physical for the Kiwi international.

Avoid taking any Cowboys player in the first tryscorer betting and instead look towards Suliasi Vunivalu at $8.

Also, Kyle Feldt as an anytime tryscorer at $2.40 is a good option for your NRL multi bets.
