- Kalshi offers new users a $55 sign-up bonus when they trade $25 or more with code CBSSPORTS55, while directing readers to review the offer’s terms and confirm prediction-market legality in their state.
- Patriots and Bears, both 4-2, meet at Soldier Field to open NFL Week 7; Kalshi prices a Bears victory at $0.60 per share and a Patriots victory at $0.41.
- Patriots have won three straight, beating the Bills on the road and the Raiders and Jets at home behind strong performances from quarterback Drake Maye.
- Caleb Williams threw for 305 yards and a touchdown in a 31-23 victory over the Falcons last week; he missed one of Chicago’s two losses because he was injured in the other.
- Chicago allows 18.9 points per game, fifth in the NFL, while New England yields 19.8, sixth; both defenses rank among the league’s top 10 against the run and allow fewer than 212 passing yards and 20 points per game.
- Kalshi’s total market is nearly even, pricing at least 51 combined points at $0.49 per share and 50 or fewer at $0.52.
- Kalshi offers trading breaks, a voluntary opt-out and personalized funding limits, while the piece notes CFTC regulation, jurisdictional restrictions and substantial-loss risk.
Why it matters: New Kalshi users gain access to $55 in bonus funds after a qualifying $25-plus trade, though the offer requires state-by-state legality checks and carries substantial-loss risk. The game’s total market is nearly balanced, at $0.49 for 51-plus points versus $0.52 for 50 or fewer.
