DraftKings is offering new users a $200 bonus in bet credits and three months of free NBA League Pass. To claim the offer, new customers must place a $5 wager. The bonus bets and subscription access are credited to the account within 21 days of the initial bet.

The promotion launches during NFL Week 8 of the 2026 season. Sunday’s slate includes the Baltimore Ravens versus the Buffalo Bills and the Minnesota Vikings versus the Detroit Lions, both starting at 1 p.m. ET. The Kansas City Chiefs face the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Chargers play the Los Angeles Rams in the afternoon. The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders will play in the Sunday Night Football slot.

Sports betting models are analyzing these matchups. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, entered Week 8 with a 58-51 record on top-rated picks since 2024. The model is up more than $5,000 for players betting $100 on those selections. For the Chiefs and Broncos game, the model favors the Under 40.5 total points. It projects this outcome will occur in 55% of simulations.

The Under 40.5 has hit in four of six Chiefs games and five of seven Broncos games this season. The Broncos have gone under the total in three of their last four games. Denver’s offense has struggled recently, scoring 30 points against the last-ranked Cardinals defense. Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes was held to three points in a loss to Seattle last week. Kansas City ranks second in the league in scoring defense, while Denver is seventh.

SportsLine expert R.J. White is backing the Eagles as six-point favorites against the Commanders. White noted that the Eagles held a lead late in the third quarter against the Dallas Cowboys before falling short. He argued that Washington is a step down in quality, particularly with wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Jacory Croskey-Merritt sidelined. Washington has the 31st-ranked scoring defense in the league. White stated he is fading the market line move because the units did not deserve to be favored by that margin.

DraftKings provides a Responsible Gaming Center on user profile pages. This section includes Safer Play Tools that allow users to set deposit limits, wagering limits, max wager limits, and time limits. The platform offers 24/7 live chat support and lists contact information for state and national helplines. Users can also call or text 1-800-MY-RESET for assistance.

Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is inactive for Sunday’s game due to a hamstring injury. The promotion is available to new users who make their first wager of at least $5.
