- DraftKings is running a promo code giving new users $150 in bonus bets after a $5 wager, with the bonus credited within 14 days of the qualifying bet
- SportsLine Projection Model backs Northwestern (+20.5) to cover against defending national champion Indiana on Friday, going 55% in simulations; the model is 22-19 on top-rated college football picks this season
- Indiana sits at 0-3 against the spread despite going 3-0 straight up, while Northwestern is 2-0 ATS after routing Colorado 41-7 last week — a gap the model attributes to Indiana being overpriced as defending champ
- SportsLine's Mike Tierney picked Cal (+1.5) over Clemson, flagging Clemson's 128th-ranked FBS offense and freshman QB Tait Reynolds making his first road start on a short week at 10:30 p.m. ET
- R.J. White is backing the Bills (-7) over the Chargers on Sunday, calling Los Angeles "an absolute mess" with a brutal upcoming schedule and saying the line "could rise in the market"
- Rolling all three picks into one DraftKings parlay pays out at +589, according to SportsLine
Why it matters: New bettors can convert a $5 risk into $150 in bonus bets while SportsLine's model projects a 55% cover probability on Northwestern — and Indiana's 0-3 ATS record as a defending national champion suggests the market is still overpricing them by roughly a touchdown, giving underdog bettors measurable value.
