DraftKings is offering new users $150 in bonus bets after a $5 wager as part of its latest promotion ahead of Sunday Night Football. The offer applies to those signing up on the platform and places a spotlight on the Baltimore Ravens, who are set to face their next opponent without star quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Jackson will miss the game due to an ankle injury, but the SportsLine Projection Model and its team of experts have backed the Ravens to cover the 3-point underdog spread despite his absence. This model, which simulates each NFL game 10,000 times, projects the Ravens to cover in 56 percent of simulations, relying on backup quarterback Tyler Huntley and running back Derrick Henry’s strong performances.
Huntley, who has started 16 games in his career, notably led the Ravens to a 2-0 record in his two starts last season, stepping up during Jackson’s injury spells. Henry has contributed significantly this season, scoring seven touchdowns and averaging 93.5 rushing yards per game. The model’s confidence is based on these factors, suggesting Baltimore can maintain competitiveness without their usual offensive leader.
Since its inception, the SportsLine Projection Model has generated over $7,000 in profit for $100 bettors on its top NFL picks, maintaining a 55-44 record on top-rated selections dating back to 2024. This track record adds weight to the current pick supporting the Ravens against the spread.
DraftKings encourages responsible gaming with its “Responsible Gaming Center,” accessible through user profiles. This includes tools for deposit and wager limits, time limits, and access to support services. A 24/7 live chat support team is available, along with contact details for state and national helplines, including the 1-800-MY-RESET number for those seeking help with gambling issues.
Alongside NFL picks, the SportsLine model and experts provide betting advice on a range of sports including MLB, college football, and NHL, offering against the spread, total, and money-line picks. For Sunday Night Football, the Ravens remain the model’s preferred choice to cover despite the notable absence of Jackson, with DraftKings’ bonus bet offer providing an added incentive for new users to engage with the platform.
