- DraftKings is offering new users $200 in bonus bets after a $5 wager, paid within 21 days, with the promo tied to Sunday's Week 2 NFL slate.
- SportsLine's R.J. White is backing Chiefs -6 vs. Colts on Sunday Night Football, citing Patrick Mahomes looking healthier than Daniel Jones and a Colts defense that allowed 200+ rushing yards and 7.9 yards per play in Week 1.
- SportsLine's Mike McClure is picking Cowboys -4.5 vs. Commanders, noting Dallas' home opener indoors favors their passing and kicking games after a strong Giants defensive effort exposed Dallas' outdoor weakness in Week 1.
- The SportsLine Projection Model projects Vikings +4.5 vs. Bears in 54% of simulations, reasoning that Chicago's 59-point Week 1 outburst is unrepeatable while their defense allowed 37 points to Carolina.
- Combining all three picks into a Sunday parlay at DraftKings yields a +580 payout—risk $100 to profit $580—with odds subject to change.
- The SportsLine Projection Model has simulated every NFL game 10,000 times and is on a 53-39 run on top-rated NFL picks at betting sites since the 2024 season.
- DraftKings provides a Responsible Gaming Center with deposit limits, wager limits, max wager limits, time limits, 24/7 live chat support, and contact info for state and national helplines.
Why it matters: New bettors get $200 in bonus value on a $5 outlay—a 40:1 return on entry—and the SportsLine model backing is concrete (53-39 since 2024, 54% simulation coverage on Vikings), giving the promo real analytical weight rather than pure marketing. The angle competitors will press: CBS Sports' parallel FanDuel promo offers $350 in bonus bets for the same Sunday slate, raising the bar DraftKings needs to clear to attract the same bettor.
