DraftKings is dropping a sweet deal this weekend: you can score $150 in bonus bets after just your first $5 wager. And let me tell you, Saturday’s sports lineup is absolutely stacked, giving you plenty of chances to turn that bonus into some serious cash. We’re talking NFL preseason action, a massive UFC title fight, and even a potential NLCS preview in MLB.

Jesse Minter Kicks Off a New Era as the Ravens Face the Eagles

Saturday wraps up Week 1 of the NFL preseason with a seven-game slate, but your eyes should be glued to Baltimore visiting Philadelphia at 7 p.m. ET. This isn’t just any preseason game; Matt Severance from SportsLine is calling it a “potential Super Bowl preview.” The Ravens are starting their post-John Harbaugh era with Jesse Minter, the ex-Chargers defensive coordinator, making his head coaching debut. Severance loves backing first-year head coaches, and honestly, who can blame him? Harbaugh had the Ravens dialed in during the preseason, going an insane 28-4 over his last ten preseasons. That’s a legendary run! While Lamar Jackson and most starters probably won’t play for either side, it’s wild the Eagles are 3.5-point road favorites. Philly, under coach Nick Sirianni, is only 5-8-2 straight up (6-8-1 ATS) in preseason games. Severance is backing the Ravens to cover as 3.5-point underdogs. Smart money, if you ask me.

Dodgers and Brewers Square Off as the Welterweight Title Hangs in the Balance

Over on the baseball diamond, Saturday night brings us a must-watch matchup: Dodgers vs. Brewers. This isn’t just any regular season game, folks. We’re talking a “potential NLCS preview” here. The SportsLine Projection Model, which is just crushing it this MLB season, has already locked in its pick for this one. That model entered Week 21 of the MLB season on a scorching 45-30 run on all top-rated MLB picks. Plus, it was hitting home run props in 2025, racking up nearly 30 units of profit. If you’re looking for a winner, these guys know their stuff. And if that wasn’t enough, UFC 330 takes center stage after the NFL games finish up. Islam Makhachev squares off against Ian Machado Garry for the welterweight title, live on Paramount+. SportsLine MMA expert Daniel Vithlani has his pick locked in for Makhachev vs. Machado Garry, picking Makhachev to win by decision.

So, you’ve got the Ravens covering, the Dodgers winning outright, and Makhachev taking the welterweight title by decision. Combine these three picks into a Saturday parlay at DraftKings, and you’re looking at a potential payout of +823. Seriously, risking $100 could profit you $823. That’s a chance to make some real noise this weekend. Don’t sleep on this, the action is all happening Saturday. Go grab those bonus bets!
