If Rugby League is your thing, then we have a full, eight-game NRL slate to look forward to this weekend.
Just four points separate the teams sitting from fifth to 16th, so wins feel even more valuable at this stage of the season.
Here, The Sporting News' expert team Down Under deliver their predictions and best bets for select Round 17 matches in the NRL — all odds are via correct at time of publish.
Let's get betting!
Penrith Panthers vs. Canterbury Bulldogs prediction, tip, best bet
Are the Panthers back?
That's what the entire league wants to know after they beat the Warriors in New Zealand last week with an understrength squad.
Now, with their Origin stars on deck, Penrith have a good chance of knocking off the ladder leaders.
The Bulldogs, however, continue to deliver this season. Fresh off a bye, their physicality should be enough in this one.
Prediction: Bulldogs by 10
Best bet: Bulldogs -2 (1/1, Spreadex)

Brisbane Broncos vs. New Zealand Warriors prediction, tip, best bet
The Broncos recorded an impressive comeback win over the Sharks last week.
This arguably papered over the cracks, though, with Brisbane putting in a dismal first-half showing.
If they fail to fire from the get-go, expect the Warriors to make them pay.
While their performance against the Panthers last week was underwhelming, they've proven their ability to bounce back this season.
Prediction: Warriors by 8
Best bet: Warriors to win first half (6/4, Skybet)
Melbourne Storm vs. Cronulla Sharks prediction, tip, best bet
Cronulla got the better of Melbourne when they faced off at Shark Park earlier this season. However, their confidence could be low after a collapse in Brisbane last week.
Melbourne haven't lost at AAMI Park this season, which makes it very hard to tip against them.
We're expecting a narrow win, even if Craig Bellamy's side haven't been overly convincing in 2025.
Prediction: Storm by 6
Best bet: Storm 1-12 (15/8, Skybet)
