Have they got it right for round 25 or are some of them way off the mark?

   James Phelps's top tips:

   Score so far: 125 

No brainer: The Green Machine to find another gear.

Upset: The Bulldogs will finally find their teeth. If they can't don't it this week - at Belmore - they are done.

Coin toss: Melbourne to beat Broncos in a thriller.

   Barry Toohey's top tips:

   Score so far: 122 

No brainer: It's Old Boys day in Newcastle but can't see the Knights upsetting Souths.

Upset: Roosters to continue Sharks misery.

Coin toss: Titans/Penrith could go either way.

   Paul Crawley's top tips:

   Score so far: 121 

No brainer: I can't see Knights winning on Old Boys day this year.

Upset: Have gone a few, including Broncos beating Storm.

Coin toss: Roosters will worry the hell out of wobbly Sharks.

   Paul Kent's top tips:

   Score so far: 121 

No brainer: Rabbitohs will annihilate the Knights.

Upset: Cowboys aren't favourites - yet - but plenty don't think they will win. They will.

Coin toss: Titans v Panthers could go either way. Hayne to get the home side home.

   Dean Ritchie's top tips:

   Score so far: 121  

No brainer: The Storm don't lose two in a row. They'll bring a screeching halt to the Broncos' top-four surge.

Upset: Can't believe the Bulldogs at Belmore is considered an upset, but they're outsiders and they'll be winning.

Coin toss: Warriors could win by 40 or lose by 40. Who knows which Warriors outfit will turn up.

   Nick Walshaw's top tips:

   Score so far: 121 

No brainer: The Warriors over Wests Tigers.

Upset: Penrith to get the better of the Titans.

Coin toss: The struggling Sharks and red-hot Roosters.

   David Riccio's top tips:

   Score so far: 118  

No brainer: The Green Machine are unstoppable at the moment, so Manly best get ready for a hiding.

Upset: The Bulldogs/Cowboys match at Belmore is a ripper. Tipping the Cowboys but won't be shocked at all if the Dogs rack up a win.

Coin toss: Statistically none, but any win for the Eels must be considered an upset, right?

   Rebecca Wilson's top tips:

   Score so far: 114  

No brainer: Ricky's got the Raiders flying and they'll keep on winning.

Upset: The Sharks are treading water and the Roosters are hot to trot. The bookies have this one wrong.

Coin toss: Storm v Broncos will be played at finals intensity, so anything can and probably will happen.

   Phil Rothfield's top tips:

   Score so far: 111 

No brainer: The Sharkies are over their blip and ready to make their run to the premiership #kingwan #specials #porchlight

Upset: Anyone who ever takes the shorts about the Warriors needs to take a good hard look at themselves. The Tigers to knock them off over there.

Coin toss: Storm and Broncos. A Broncos win and the minor premiership is suddenly back up for grabs.

   Christian Nicolussi's top tips:

   Score so far: 105  

No brainer: The Raiders are specials. Any price is a good price for them at the moment.

Upset: The mighty Tigers. They should be favourites but somehow they're not. Giddy up.

Coin toss: Bar the Raiders, dead set every other game. But for the sake of this exercise, the last ever Monday night game could go either way.
