- DraftKings promo code gives new users $150 in bonus bets after a first wager of $5 or more, timed around a Saturday slate that stacks NFL preseason Week 1, MLB action, and UFC 330.
- SportsLine expert Matt Severance is backing the Ravens as 3.5-point underdogs against the Eagles, citing Baltimore's 28-4 preseason record under the Harbaugh era and Philadelphia's 5-8-2 SU mark under Nick Sirianni.
- The SportsLine Projection Model projects the Dodgers to win in 54% of simulations against the Brewers, listed at +111 despite facing NL Cy Young favorite Jacob Misiorowski on the mound.
- MMA expert Daniel Vithlani is picking Islam Makhachev to defeat Ian Machado Garry by decision at +120, citing Makhachev's grappling as the deciding factor against a defensively sound but outmatched opponent.
- The three-pick parlay of Ravens +3.5, Dodgers +111, and Makhachev by decision would pay +823 on a $100 wager.
- SportsLine's MLB model entered Week 21 on a 45-30 run on top-rated picks and returned nearly 30 units of profit on home run props in 2025.
Why it matters: DraftKings is using a loaded Saturday slate — a potential Super Bowl preview, a playoff-implication MLB matchup, and a title fight — to convert first-time bettors with a $5 minimum that unlocks $150 in bonus bets. For bettors, the model backs its MLB work with a documented 45-30 top-rated run, and Severance's Ravens angle offers a concrete trend-based case rather than just a gut lean.
