Have they got it right for round 23 or are some of them way off the mark?

ROUND 23 FIXTURES: Rabbitohs v Bulldogs, Eels v Knights, Broncos v Sharks, Dragons v Titans, Storm v Roosters, Panthers v Cowboys, Warriors v Raiders, Tigers v Sea Eagles.

   Nick Walshaw's top tips:

   Score so far: 108 

No brainer: Resurgent Eels over resurgent Knights.

Upset: Roosters offer value at $3.30, although it's a game punter who bets against Melbourne at home.

Coin toss: Panthers/Cowboys. Honestly, who knows how this one will go?

   Michael Carayannis's top tips:

   Score so far: 107 

No brainer: Despite winning back-to-back games, Newcastle will struggle to be any match for an Eels side who have a sniff of a top four finish.

Upset: Panthers to beat the Cowboys. While Penrith are on a winning run they are yet to display their best football. They play a willing Cowboys side who Penrith could leapfrog with a win.

Coin toss: The Bulldogs have been a problematic tip all year. Can they finally string something which resembles an NRL side together when they play another under performing Rabbitohs side.

   Matt Logue's top tips:

   Score so far: 103 

No brainer: Eels to be too good for the Knights.

Upset: Storm v Roosters. Their last game was a classic.

Coin toss: Sharks, just, over the Broncos in Brisbane.

   David Riccio's top tips:

   Score so far: 101 

No brainer: Eels have got a powerful thing in momentum behind them.

Upset: Sharks over Broncos.

Coin toss: Rabbitohs v Bulldogs ... can you believe these teams were in the 2014 decider?

   Paul Kent's top tips:

   Score so far: 100 

No brainer: Eels to be too good against Newcastle.

Upset: With James Maloney back I give the Sharks a big chance to grind one out against Brisbane.

Coin toss: I'm expecting something from the Roosters, against Melbourne, with Boyd Cordner and Jake Friend returning.

   Phil Rothfield's top tips:

   Score so far: 95 

No brainer: Sea Eagles over Tigers.

Upset: Sharks over Broncos.

Coin toss: Rabbitohs over Bulldogs.

   Dean Ritchie's top tips:

   Score so far: 95 

No brainer: Sea Eagles were too strong against the Roosters last week, just imagine what they will do against the Tigers.

Upset: Gone with all the favourites this week.

Coin toss: Gone with the Broncos here, but should be a good one.

   Paul Crawley's top tips:

   Score so far: 91 

No brainer: Eels to make it seven in a row.

Upset: Cowboys over Panthers.

Coin toss: Wouldn't be surprised to see Titans bounce back.

   James Phelps's top tips:

   Score so far: 90 

No brainer: Rabbitohs to continue the woe for the Bulldogs.

Upset: Titans are a real chance of finishing the Dragons.

Coin toss: Broncos and Sharks could be a classic.

   Christian Nicolussi's top tips:

   Score so far: 85 

No brainer: The Warriors will go close to the spoon, the Raiders have everything to play for.

Upset: Tigers at Fortress Leichhardt to beat Manly, just as they did at the venue last season.

Coin toss: Sharks v Broncos will be a belter. Expect the premiers to bounce back big.
