Listen up, because Saturday is stacked, and DraftKings just dropped a deal that’s too good to ignore. New users can grab $150 in bonus bets after making a first wager of just $5. Seriously, it’s that easy to get some bonus cash in your pocket for a day packed with action.
NFL Preseason: Don’t Sleep on the Underdogs
We’ve got 10 NFL preseason games kicking off today, running from noon ET all the way to 10 p.m. ET. That’s over 12 hours of football to get in on some action. Our guy Matt Severance over at SportsLine has locked in his best bet for the day, and it’s a juicy one: he’s backing the Bengals to cover as 1.5-point underdogs against the Bears.
Now, you might be thinking, “The Bears have been preseason monsters, right?” Yeah, Severance knows that too. Chicago is 11-2-1 in their last 14 preseason games and hasn’t lost one since 2023. Cincinnati? They’re 3-11-1 in their last 15. But Severance isn’t swayed. He says, “I never really understand why a home team gets points in a preseason game.” He’s eyeing the Bears’ injury woes and expects head coach Ben Johnson to play it super cautious. Plus, backup QB Tyson Bagent didn’t even make the trip, so get ready for Case Keenum and a whole lot of Miller Moss. Remember him? Bengals played some starters in Week 1 and won, but don’t expect that here. This pick has got some real edge.
MLB Action and a Slam-Dunk Parlay
It’s Week 22 of the MLB season, and the SportsLine Projection Model is on an absolute heater, rocking a sizzling 49-31 run on all top-rated MLB picks. This model also crushed it with home run prop picks in 2025, bringing in nearly 30 units of profit. For Saturday’s MLB best bets, the model sees value in Dodgers vs. Pirates, backing the Pirates to cover as 1.5-run underdogs on the run line with Tarik Skubal on the mound.
Want to turn up the heat? Combine Severance’s Bengals pick (+1.5) with the SportsLine model’s Pirates pick (+1.5) into a Saturday parlay. You’re looking at a sweet +283 payout if both hit. Risk $100 and you could profit $283. That’s a combo that makes any sports fan smile.
You can claim that $150 in bonus bets after your first $5 wager at DraftKings today. With a full slate of NFL preseason and a red-hot MLB model giving us the Pirates, Saturday is set up for some serious action. Don’t miss out on getting that bonus cash!
