- DraftKings offers new users $200 in bonus bets and three months of free NBA League Pass after a $5 bet paid within 21 days.
- SportsLine says its projection model entered Week 9 on a 68-59 run against top-rated college-football picks, returning nearly $400 for every $100; it simulates each FBS game 10,000 times.
- Georgia is the model-backed favorite at -11.5 against Florida, with SportsLine expert Eric Cohen citing a 15-0 outright record, a 12-3 mark against ranked double-digit favorites since 2020, and 14-plus-point responses after its last five regular-season or SEC Championship losses.
- Miami is picked to cover -14 against North Carolina, with the source citing a 7-0 record, five wins by at least 28 points, a 33.7 average victory margin, a 58% model cover rate, and Bill Belichick’s first test as a college coach against a No. 1 team.
- Ohio State and USC are paired in the third recommendation, an Under 51.5 total, with Micah Roberts citing USC’s 24-7 loss at Wisconsin and a forecast of a similarly low-scoring game with freshman backup quarterback Luke Fahey.
- SportsLine combines Georgia -11.5, Miami -14 and the Ohio State–USC Under 51.5 into a +590 parlay, requiring $100 to risk for a $590 profit; the article says odds are subject to change.
- DraftKings also provides a Responsible Gaming Center with deposit, wager, maximum-wager and time limits, 24/7 live-chat support, and state and national helpline information, including 1-800-MY-RESET.
Why it matters: For new DraftKings users, a $5 wager unlocks $200 in bonus bets and three months of free NBA League Pass, giving the sign-up offer a concrete, quantified payoff. The picks are separately backed by SportsLine’s 68-59 run and 10,000 simulations per game, while DraftKings’ gambling controls remain available.
