FanDuel is offering new users up to $200 in bonus bets when they wager $5 or more over the course of seven days, just as NFL Week 9 kicks off with a packed schedule, including the Packers hosting the Patriots and the Buccaneers facing the Bears on Sunday Night Football.
This latest promotion runs through the week featuring 14 NFL games, with the Packers-Patriots matchup drawing particular attention. Both teams enter with 5-3 records, but Green Bay faces a tougher path as they sit last in the NFC North, while New England holds second place in the AFC East behind the 6-1 Buffalo Bills. The Packers come off a Thursday night win against the Carolina Panthers, 27-19, giving them a rest advantage over the Patriots, who struggled but ultimately defeated the Miami Dolphins 24-19.
Green Bay’s passing game is performing well, led by quarterback Jordan Love and wide receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. The combined scoring average of both teams is 44.4 points per game. However, the SportsLine Projection Model, which has simulated every game 10,000 times, predicts the total points will go under the 46.5 line in 61 percent of its simulations.
Sunday's late game features the Tampa Bay Buccaneers taking on the Chicago Bears. Tampa Bay (3-5) has improved recently, rushing for 582 yards across their last two games and outscoring NFC South rivals Atlanta and Carolina 59-13 despite limited success through the air. Baker Mayfield, the Bucs’ quarterback, is nursing a thumb injury and may be looking ahead to the week 10 bye, potentially limiting his role.
The Bears (6-2) enter the game as 6.5-point home favorites, with one of the NFL’s best run defenses ranked fourth overall. Chicago’s offense, led by quarterback Caleb Williams, has scored at least 30 points in every game Williams has started and finished this season. Tampa Bay’s defense allows just 18.9 points per game, but the SportsLine model gives the Bears a 53 percent chance to cover the spread.
Several notable players are inactive for Sunday’s games, including Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson, and Giants running back Cam Skattebo.
FanDuel’s offer applies to new users who wager $5 or more on NFL Week 9 games during the promotional period. The sportsbook encourages responsible gambling and provides various tools to help bettors manage their activity, such as gaming limits, timeouts, and activity alerts. It also offers a live chat feature and contact information for national and local helplines, including the 24/7 1-800-MY-RESET service.
Those interested can visit FanDuel to claim the bonus and access expert picks from the SportsLine Projection Model, which also covers college football, NBA, and other sports with its 10,000-times simulation approach. The model entered Week 10 with an 80-77 record on top-rated college football bets, suggesting its projections have yielded consistent returns for users following the picks.
