- DraftKings promo code gives new users $150 in bonus bets after making a $5 wager, with the bonus paid within 14 days.
- SportsLine expert Matt Severance is backing Under 51.5 total points for No. 5 Georgia vs. No. 6 Alabama at 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday, citing potential tropical storm/hurricane weather affecting Tuscaloosa with rain and 20-30 mph winds.
- SportsLine Projection Model also favors the Under for USC vs. Penn State at 7:30 p.m. ET, taking Under 54.5 total points after simulating every FBS game 10,000 times — the model projects the Under hits in 67% of those simulations.
- The SportsLine model enters Week 6 on a profitable 40-35 run on all top-rated college football picks at betting sites.
- Penn State has the No. 17 scoring defense nationally, allowing 16 points per game, and only one of five games went Over this total this year — a 55-13 rout of Buffalo — while USC finished Under its pregame total of 57.5 in last week's 25-21 win over Washington.
- A parlay combining both Under picks at DraftKings produces a +250 payout (risk $100 to profit $250, subject to odds change).
- DraftKings provides a 'Responsible Gaming Center' with deposit limits, wager limits, max wager limits, time limits, 24/7 live chat support, and contact information for state and national helplines including 1-800-MY-RESET.
Why it matters: For bettors, the +250 parlay payout structure paired with the model's 67% Under simulation hit rate on USC-Penn State gives a concrete risk-reward math to weigh, while Severance's weather-based Georgia-Alabama read anchors the pick in observable conditions rather than gut call. DraftKings' $150 bonus effectively lowers the entry cost for first-time users to $5, bundling the promotional hook with actual analytical content rather than pure marketing.
