Whilst the Blues deserve favouritism, I'm never a fan of giving away too many points in an Origin game. It's never easy to wrap up a series, especially given the Blues have got the jitters plenty of times in the past when up 1-0. I expect nerves to come into it, and Queensland have too much pride in the jersey to go down meekly and get beaten by a big score line here. ANZ Stadium also tends to be a heavy and slippery surface, which will not be conducive to good ball movement. 
 
5 UNITS = Pick the Score Double @ $5.50 - NSW 11-20 /QLD 11-20
 
Last year Queensland won 18-16 at ANZ Stadium, and we have had a number of low scoring close affairs at ANZ Stadium over the years. There has been a bit of rain around Sydney all week, and ANZ can be a hard surface to move the ball on at night with the dew and slippery nature of it, which could lead to a real war of attrition. With the Blues having not tasted much success of late, I expect this to be a battle, with Queensland rarely giving up a series without a real fight.
