DraftKings Sportsbook in Illinois has an irresistible promotion available for both new and existing users.
During the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills game on Saturday night in Orchard Park, New York, the attendance reached 46,000. However, DraftKings will decrease the total by 0.5 points for every 5,000 bets placed on the over.
The total has decreased to 18 points as of now. Participants in the promotion will receive the final number it is reduced to at the beginning, regardless of the total at the time of placing their bet.
You can bet up to $25, and the total may go as low as 0.5 points.
During a windy and rainy Week 13 game, New England led with a score of 14-10. However, in Week 16, Buffalo triumphed over New England in more consistent conditions with a score of 33-21.
This is the safest bet on the table for the NFL wildcard playoff square, excluding bets with conflicting strong favorites.
Consider these point total bets when placing bets at Illinois sportsbooks:
Irresistible force encounters immovable target
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs took different routes to the playoffs, but they will now face off at Arrowhead Stadium in the upcoming game.
Pittsburgh ended their final eight games with a 4-4 record, barely clinching a playoff spot thanks to a miraculous win by the Jaguars over the Colts. This victory sent Indianapolis packing and gave Big Ben Roethlisberger one last chance to compete for a Super Bowl title.
Kansas City has a 7-1 record in their last eight games, narrowly missing out on a second round bye. The Chiefs are now favored by 12.5 points, the largest spread in the history of the NFL playoffs.
Another contrasting factor between the teams is their performance in terms of totals. Kansas City has excelled in hitting overs, with a record of 10-7 and ending the regular season in a tie for the second-best record on overs.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh ended up tied for third place in the group with a record of 6 wins, 10 losses, and 1 tie on unders.
Despite the expectations for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to dominate the game, predicting the outcome of a coin toss may be more reliable than guessing the total score.
Earlier results can serve as a guide for future ones.
The upcoming Monday night matchup between NFC West rivals Arizona Cardinals and LA Rams will mark their third meeting this season. If Arizona had won their Week 18 game against the Seattle Seahawks, they would have hosted this game. However, LA secured the win and will now have the home-field advantage with the support of their fans.
In the last two games between Arizona and LA, Arizona won 37-20 and LA won 30-23. The majority of sports bettors are predicting that their final game will have a total score over 49.5 points.
Nevertheless, the data on overs in games involving the Cardinals and Rams does not show a clear pattern. Arizona has a record of 8-9, while Louisiana has a record of 9-7-1 in terms of wickets.
Fans of the NFL have likely come to expect the unexpected, as evidenced by the New York Giants’ surprising victory in 2007. Led by Eli Manning, the Giants defeated the favored New England Patriots in the Super Bowl despite being the NFC’s fifth seed.
Put simply, anything is possible.
