NFL Week 9 Betting: DraftKings Offers $200 Bonus Bets and Free NBA League Pass

DraftKings is currently offering new users $200 in bonus bets and three months of free NBA League Pass. The promotion requires a $5 wager to activate, with the bonus funds paid out within 21 days.

The offer coincides with NFL Week 9, which features the Chicago Bears hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football. The Bears are favored by 6 points. Combining specific model picks for the slate could yield a payout of +264, meaning a $100 risk would profit $264, though odds remain subject to change.

SportsLine NFL expert R.J. White analyzed the Bears versus Buccaneers matchup. He noted that the Bears are coming off a strong performance in Seattle. White argued that the Bears are an elite team with Jeffery Simmons stabilizing the defense. He expressed less confidence in the Buccaneers, citing two recent wins where the team did not need to throw the ball. White suggested that if the Buccaneers fall behind, their passing attack may finally show signs of life. He expects the game to be north of 7 points over the spread.

In other roster news, Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown is inactive for the week due to ankle and knee issues. The SportsLine Projection Model, which has simulated every game 10,000 times, provides against the spread, total, and money-line picks for all games across the NFL, NBA, college football, college basketball, and NHL.
