- FanDuel is offering new users up to $350 in bonus bets when they wager $5+ over seven days, with the promo timed to the NFL's return via Wednesday's Kickoff Game and Thursday's Australia matchup
- Seattle Seahawks are 3.5-point home favorites over the New England Patriots in Wednesday's Super Bowl rematch, with the SportsLine Projection Model projecting a Seattle cover in 66% of its 10,000 simulations
- Los Angeles Rams are 3.5-point favorites over the San Francisco 49ers in Thursday's Australia game, where Myles Garrett and a reportedly coaxed-out-of-retirement Aaron Donald anchor the defense; the model projects a Rams cover at 56% and outright win 64% of the time
- The Seahawks are without Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III (now with Kansas City) and injured backup Zach Charbonnet, leaving rookie Jadarian Price to start against a Patriots roster that added A.J. Brown, Alijah Vera-Tucker, and resolved Christian Gonzalez's contract
- The SportsLine Projection Model is up over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since inception and enters the 2026 NFL season on a 53-37 run on top-rated picks dating back to 2024
- The 49ers carry injury question marks into the Rams game, with the long Australia trip and time-zone shift cited as the biggest variable in how Thursday's contest plays out
Why it matters: FanDuel is deploying its bonus-bet promo at the NFL calendar's highest-engagement moment, and the model's stated 53-37 record on top-rated picks since 2024 provides bettors a track record to weigh against the marquee Week 1 slate, where Seattle's depleted backfield and the Rams' suddenly loaded defensive front create the clearest betting edges the article flags.
