FanDuel Paying New Users 25-1 for Picking Right Winner of Bears-Packers

Published•Updated

The Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers renew their legendary rivalry on Sunday Night Football this week. To commemorate the occasion, our partners at FanDuel are offering a promotion for new users in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Colorado, or West Virginia where you can make a $5 wager on the winner of the game -- if you pick right, you win $125:

Because we are picking money-line and not the spread, the mathematical play here is clearly to bet the money on the Packers to win outright. They are 8.5-point favorites right now, and are -400 on the moneyline. With the Bears at +315, the Packers have implied odds of greater than 75 percent of winning this game. Therefore, unless you have a strong feeling that there will be an upset, Green Bay is the play here. Sign up for FanDuel here.
