Model accuracy on Cowboys picks — 2025 season
Our ML ensemble was 60% accurate when predicting Cowboys match outcomes across the full 2025 NRL season (27 rounds + finals). Around competition average — use with standard confidence.
Key Patterns & Tendencies
- Qld Country Bank Stadium fortress: 68% home win rate since stadium opened
- Bounce back after losses 67% of the time — alternating pattern this season
- Win 72% of games at home against visiting NSW sides
- Struggle to cover large lines — cover rate only 48% when favoured by 7+
Betting Approach for the Cowboys
- LOW confidence (60%) — reduce stake vs standard HIGH picks
- Home advantage at Townsville is real but Cowboys are inconsistent this season
- H2H at $1.70–$1.80 is about fair for a 60% model pick
- Alternating form pattern suggests a win in Round 8 after the Round 7 loss
