Origin 3 verdict (Getty Images)

The 2024 State of Origin Game 3 takes place at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane with the series level at 1-1. We've got our best bets picked out for the game.

Reigning Shield holders Queensland have recorded back-to-back 2-1 series wins and have home advantage in this year's decider. Can they wrap up another success in Game 3?

The QLD Maroons won Game 1 before the Blues levelled things up. Who will go on to claim Origin glory?

Best Bet: Under 41.5 Points

Only one of the previous eight Game 3 matches have gone Over a Game Total of 41.5. With only a few changes to the team lists it is safe to say that we can expect a repeat of the intensity of Games 1 and 2 and a tight game is expected to come down to the wire.

Value Bet: Queensland -1.5

Queensland have won five of the last six Game 3 deciders and are backed to win this one at home. The Maroons are also taken to cover the -1.5 points as favourites in this one off the back of their veteran playmakers.

First Tryscorer: Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow

Despite Queensland getting dominated in the second match of the series, the Maroons still found a way to get The Hammer through the defensive line and over for his fourth try of the series.

The Dolphins fullback has proven that he is unstoppable and is the real key to opening up the Blues on their right edge.

If I am Billy Slater I am going in with the mentality of ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ and will be giving the Cairns flyer the ball as early as possible in the match.

Man of the Match: Daly Cherry-Evans

It will need to be another Cherry-Evans masterclass at Suncorp if the Maroons are to prevail in winning the game and the series.

The Queensland halfback was restricted to only 9 Run Metres in game 2 coming off his Man of the Match performance in Game 1.

If he is to overcome the hurdles in front of him not only on a personal level but for the team he will be in the box seat to wrap up his 2nd MOM title in this series and also take out the Wally Lewis Award for Player of the Series.
