- DraftKings is offering new users $150 in bonus bets after making a $5 wager, with the bonus paid within 14 days of the qualifying bet.
- The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times and entered the final week of the regular season on a 30-24 run on top-rated money-line picks, returning nearly $900 for $100 players.
- For Rays vs. Yankees on Wednesday, the model backs Over 6.5 total runs at -112, projecting it hits in 72.3% of simulations — Gerrit Cole (5.66 ERA in four September starts) faces Tampa Bay's Ian Seymour (5.79 ERA in three starts this month).
- No. 1 Texas at No. 14 Tennessee on Saturday sees SportsLine expert Gene Menez backing Under 55.5 at -108, citing Arch Manning's 17-of-33, 164-yard performance against UTSA and a Longhorns defense allowing 12.0 points per game.
- Thomas Casale of SportsLine is backing the Jaguars -3 against the Patriots on Sunday at -102, calling Jacksonville a 'legit Super Bowl contender' despite their Week 2 loss to Denver.
- Combining all three picks into a single DraftKings parlay yields a +611 payout (risk $100 to profit $541, odds subject to change).
Why it matters: The $150 bonus-bet offer is the entry hook, but the model's 30-24 MLB run returning nearly $900 for $100 players is the real sales pitch. New bettors lock in the promo regardless of whether the three-leg +611 parlay cashes, so DraftKings captures the signup even if the picks miss.
