π¬ FormPicks Commentary
Titans lean here despite both sides showing soft starts, because they're the higher-rated outfit with a better scoreboard profile. Dragons are vulnerable early and especially in the second half, where they bleed points, but the neutral venue strips away their travel curse which keeps this competitive. The key thing to watch is whether Dragons can stay within arm's reach at halftime - if they're chasing by more than a converted try or two, their second-half fade and one-score record suggest they won't reel it in.
