DraftKings: $150 in bonus bets for Michigan vs. Washington

The College Football Playoffs are down to the final two: The No. 1 Michigan Wolverines vs. the No. 2 Washington Huskies. For Michigan sports bettors, this is a special occasion with big bets and a big chance for the Wolverines to make history.

Neither team has won a title since the College Football Playoffs began. In fact, neither team has lifted the trophy in this millennium. Michigan last won the title in 1997 when it was voted to the top of the AP Poll. And Washington hasn’t won since 1991, when they shared the title with Miami.

In the semifinals, both teams put on a show that rivaled some of the best college football we’ve seen all year. The championship should be a good one. Here are the odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.

DraftKings has great odds for the game, with game lines, same-game parlays, game props, quick hits, quarters, halves, team props, and more. Plus, they’re giving new users the chance to pick their favorite welcome bonus when they sign up.

Here’s how the DraftKings promo works: Sign up using our DraftKings promo code link and follow the steps below to create an account. Then, you can navigate to their promotions and select the welcome promo you want to use. There are two options:

The first offer could potentially leverage more in bonuses, depending on how much you’re willing to release for your first cash deposit. It’s straightforward and gives you $150 in bonus bets after your first $5 bet, win or lose.

The second offer could ultimately lead to more bonus bets, with the 20% deposit match. But do be aware that this bonus will be distributed in small increments as you make more wagers – not all at once.

Here’s how to claim either one of the DraftKings welcome promos:

  1. Click our DraftKings promo code link to get started.
  2. Click “Sign up” to start setting up your new account.
  3. DraftKings will guide you through a few simple steps to set up your account info. You’ll create a username and password, confirm your location and give them your personal details for your account.
  4. Select which welcome promo you want to use.
  5. Link a payment method and make your first cash deposit of $5 or more to qualify for the DraftKings sign-up bonus.
  6. Place a wager of $5 or more on any sport.

If you opt for the deposit bonus, you’ll get an instant $50 with your first deposit and then start accruing small amounts of the 20% deposit match as you place more bets on DraftKings.

If you opt for the $150 bonus, you’ll get $150 after you place your first $5+ bet.

You can use the DraftKings bonus to make more wagers. And, for regular customers, DraftKings offers rolling bonuses, perks, and promos each week.

DraftKings is one of the best sportsbooks in the US, with some of the best bonuses. We rate them consistently at the top among Michigan’s best betting sites.

The Wolverines have been oddsmakers favorites through most of their matchups this year – and that hasn’t changed for the championship game. The Wolverines are 4.5-point favorites against the Huskies, and we like the odds here, despite a little bit of a blip in the semifinal game.

Michigan started out strong against the Alabama Crimson Tide last week in the Rose Bowl but almost got swept under in the second half. It was an overtime win to clinch the championship, 27-20, and it was some of the best football we’ve seen in a college game in a while.

The biggest challenge for Michigan will be the indomitable Michael Penix Jr., who looked incredible in the Huskies’ semifinal game against Texas.

But Michigan has its own stellar talent. Blake Corum is the top in the country with 25 rushing touchdowns – which is also a single-season record for the Wolverines. Plus, Michigan leads the head-to-head record with Washington 8-5.

Be sure to head over to the best NCAAF sportsbooks when making your NFL Saturday bets.

The Huskies have surged lately and beaten the odds in three of their last four games. They were 3.5-point underdogs against the Texas Longhorns in the Sugar Bowl and dominated in a fantastic clash between powers.

The Huskies held off the Longhorns in the final seconds and clinched their spot with a 37-31 win. We mentioned Penix Jr. already. He’s the best weapon the Huskies have, but they also have a strong team around him. Penix Jr. had 430 yards and two touchdowns against Texas and helped lead Washington to the top of the nation in passing offense.
