<h2>Cowboys vs Dolphins Prediction and Betting Tips</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Head-to-Head Prediction</h3> <p>The Dolphins enter this Queensland derby with the upper hand in both form and personnel.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fresh off a dominant 50-point performance, Kristian Woolf’s men are brimming with confidence and will look to exploit a Cowboys outfit heavily impacted by State of Origin absences.</p> <p>North Queensland have shown a lack of attack and their defence remains their Achilles' heel.&nbsp;</p> <p>Without key spine members and forward leaders, they'll need to produce something special to stay in the contest.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong>Dolphins.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>First Try Scorer Prediction</h3> <p>Look for Jamayne Isaako to be the first on the scoresheet in this Queensland clash.&nbsp;</p> <p>Isaako thrives on structured backline movements and early shifts to the edge.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Cowboys’ left edge could be particularly vulnerable.</p> <p>With his finishing ability and nose for the tryline, Isaako is a strong shout to open the account.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong>Jamayne Isaako first try scorer.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Over/Under Prediction</h3> <p>The Cowboys’ last six games consistently trending high-scoring.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Dolphins are coming off a 50-point demolition—the over holds strong value.&nbsp;</p> <p>Even with a weakened lineup, the Cowboys tend to stay in the fight with attacking bursts of their own.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong>Over total match points.</p>
