It’s serious Super Bowl contenders only from here on out with the NFL down to its final eight teams. The Divisional Round begins on Saturday with a double-header. In the first game, the reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs host the Houston Texans. That game will be followed by the Washington Commanders paying a visit to the Detroit Lions. That means the top seeds in each conference will be in action on Saturday after getting a bye last week. It also means the playoff picture will receive a big shakeup if either the Chiefs or Lions lose.
Saturday’s games are also the perfect occasion to take advantage of the latest welcome offer for new users at FanDuel Sportsbook.

Win a $5 Wager and Grab $300 in Bonus Bets at FanDuel
Most football fans got to know FanDuel as a platform for daily fantasy sports. However, it has expanded to include a top-notch sportsbook that’s among the best in the industry. Part of the reason for FanDuel’s success is always offering an appealing welcome bonus. Right now, if you sign up and make an accurate bet on your first wager, you’ll receive $300 in bonus bets. Obviously, the key is making sure your first bet is correct. But as long as you can handle that, you’ll have $300 worth of bonus bets coming your way.
Just to make sure there is no confusion, here are step-by-step instructions for how you can sign up for a FanDuel Sportsbook account and claim your $300 in bonus bets:
Use our unique FanDuel sign-up link to go straight to the FanDuel Sportsbook homepage.
Click on “Join Now” and follow the on-screen instructions that will guide you through the sign-up process.

After you have your FanDuel account set up, you’ll see for yourself how easy it is to navigate the platform and find the perfect first bet. For example, two NFL buttons on the main page will take you to FanDuel’s NFL page. For every upcoming game, you’ll see the spread, moneyline, and total odds, as well as a “More wagers” button that will take you to the dedicated page for every individual game. In short, there are dozens of bets available for every game, making it a little easier to find one that’s safe for your first wager.
If you want to keep things simple, Detroit’s moneyline is arguably the safest pick this week. If you click on the box for Detroit’s moneyline, that bet will pop up in your bet slip. You then enter $5 into your wager box and your bet slip will tabulate your profit if that bet wins. However, keep in mind that winning your first bet is more important than earning a big profit from it because that’s how you’ll get your $300 in bonus bets. Of course, it’s still a good idea to double-check the details of your bet slip before you make any wager official.
Taking either the Chiefs or Lions to win straight-up this week should be a safe bet. Both teams are playing at home and had last week off to get healthy. Plus, both teams are favored by more than a touchdown, so it’d be more than a little shocking to see either team lose. To be fair, both the Texans and Commanders were impressive last week. However, both are facing a considerable leap in competition level. The kicker is that the Chiefs were 8-0 at home during the regular season while the Lions were 7-2 at home. It would take something spectacular from either the Texans or Commanders to knock off either of the top seeds in their first playoff game.
