Both of these teams looked awful in Round 1 as the Broncos were demolished by the Panthers by 26 points without scoring, while the Eels were annihilated by the Storm by 48 points, scoring only one try. Broncos are reigning premiers after a storybook run to the title last year, and with everyone healthy should be primed to bounce back here. They will keep their star-studded lineup intact with a small change of Mam getting the start, while Eels will have Addo-Carr returning but will miss suspended Hopgood. Led by Walsh, the Broncos should have a much better offensive display against an Eels defense that looked lackluster and rather poor in their first game, and Eels' offense looks very questionable in terms of putting together any sustained pressures and points on the board. Broncos won 4 of their last 5 head-to-head meetings, with those 4 wins coming by an average of a 19-point margin, so on a solo stage in front of Thursday night lights at home on Suncorp, simply got to expect the reigning champs to bounce back in a major way and win this one by more than 2 converted tries.

Griffin had a bit of a slower start to 2026 but still produced some solid results, as he sits 13th in the OWGR. He notched 3 wins in his last 24 outings while also finishing twice as runner-up in that stretch, which is a superb return at this level. He was T35 here on debut in 2023 before a couple of missed cuts followed, which kept his price high this week, but given his quality and ability to win when in contention, he represents huge value worth going with this weekend.

Young has been playing very well the last few weeks as he finished T7 at the Genesis Invitational, where he fired excellent weekend rounds of 66-66. He followed that up with an even better showing last week at Bay Hill, taking T3 with another set of strong weekend rounds of 67-69 that featured just a single bogey. He was only T61 here last year but got off to a fine start, sitting 4 under par before he fell apart over the weekend. This time around he looks much better, and he has been playing some fantastic golf in crucial rounds, so if he avoids a bad round with the form he is on, simply got to feel like Cameron could easily be in the mix, fighting for the win.

Morikawa is in outstanding form as he won at Pebble Beach and then followed that up with two more very good outings, taking T7 at The Genesis Invitational and then finishing 5th last week at Arnie's place. He was T3 heading into the weekend here in 2023 en route to finishing T13, and he was T10 last year after another blistering start that saw him sit at T4 heading into the weekend rounds. Colin is playing some great stuff at the moment, and he has been improving in recent starts here at TPC Sawgrass, so got to fancy him to be right in the mix come Sunday afternoon.

Aberg has had a slightly weaker start to 2026 as he suffered from some illnesses early in the year, but he has looked better of late. He notched T20 at The Genesis Invitational on his penultimate start, where he finished with a nice round of 66, before a T3 finish last week at Bay Hill, where he got off to an excellent start with round of 66 and closed out with another fine round of 67. Since his move to the U.S., he resides in Ponte Vedra and uses TPC Sawgrass as the course on which he practices most of the time. His debut here resulted in an 8th-place finish with three rounds of 67 as only a weaker Friday round stopped him from contending for the win in his first attempt. Gaining momentum in recent weeks and ranking 1st for Total Driving last week makes Ludvig a solid pick to contend for the win.
