The Tarantosaurus Tip: Well, normally the whole coach leaving situation ends up with that team winning, but I find the Bulldogs enjoyed the win last week and will see themselves comfortable with a win.

Bulldogs in 12th, Titans in 14th. If Bulldogs win, they remain in 12th. If Titans win, they will jump to 13th.
