Week 5 of the NFL is here, and bettors should be aware of the new batch of sportsbook promos for this weekend’s NFL slate.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are playing overseas in London against the Philadelphia Eagles. After that, fans can look forward to the San Francisco 49ers traveling up the West Coast to take on the Seattle Seahawks at 4:25 p.m. ET, followed by the Los Angeles Rams hosting Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on Monday night to close things out.

NFL betting is great for any football fan. It doesn’t take into account how good or bad an individual’s team is doing, and it can be a nice escape to care about other teams and star players. It’s never too late to start wagering on NFL action either, even with four weeks already in the books. Plus, new users can bet $5 on NFL action and get $150 in Bonus Bets at DraftKings Sportsbook.

The Sporting News has everything you need to know about this week’s best NFL promotions from around the sports betting world. Here’s the rundown on the best offers, boosts and promotions.

Best NFL Week 5 offers for existing sportsbook users

Here are the best NFL offers for existing sportsbook users, including profit boosts, odds boosts, bonus bets, parlay promos and same game parlay promos.

Best NFL profit or odds boost

In most cases, DraftKings leads the pack in terms of profit boosts. While their promo hasn’t been released yet for Week 5, each Thursday and Sunday slate brings a 50% profit boost that users can opt in to for any single wager or same-game parlay on any game that day. Fans should stay tuned for when this eventually releases.

Best NFL parlay promotion

FanDuel has the best parlay promotion for Week 5 of the NFL season. Bettors can cash in on a 50% profit boost for DAL vs. TB on Thursday night and apply it to any SGP that has -200 odds or longer. FanDuel also offers injury insurance on players who get hurt during a game; while this was a free service for September, it costs 3% of a wager for the rest of the season.

Best NFL same game parlay promo

In terms of same-game parlays, BetMGM has a great promotion. Users who craft a same-game parlay can apply a boost token to maximize their profits. Users don’t have to do anything out of the ordinary for this wager; just place a SGP parlay, apply the token, and a win or loss gifts users with a return regardless of the game’s outcome.

How to claim NFL sportsbook promos

How to use a profit boost

1. (if applicable) Create an account on a licensed U.S. sportsbook. There is a plethora of options, but the most notable ones are all previously listed above.
2. Opt in to the promotion. Head over to your app/site’s promotions, rewards, or picks tab. Profit boosts should be listed here. Click the “Opt-In” or “Claim” button.
3. Review profit boost conditions. Each profit boost may have different parameters a bet must fall under, such as minimum odds, maximum wagers, or eligible markets.
4. Build your bet slip. Once the boost is claimed, it’s time to build a bet! Depending on the conditions of the boost, this can be either a single bet, a parlay across multiple games, or a same-game parlay.
5. Apply your profit boost. This step may vary from sportsbook to sportsbook, but users should keep their eyes peeled for a section labeled “Bonus available,” “Apply reward,” or even a checkbox that should be ticked regarding your boost.
6. Enter your wager amount and confirm. After setting up your bet and double-checking the profit boost’s conditions, enter a wager amount and scan over your betslip one final time. Once you click confirm, there’s no going back. When confident that everything is correct and the profit boost is properly enabled, place your bet.

Best sportsbooks for NFL betting

When it comes to which sportsbook to use, not everyone should feel forced into using one over another; everyone’s betting experience is different. Here are the sportsbooks that are best for certain betting situations.

Best sportsbook for NFL odds

One of the best sportsbooks for NFL odds as a whole is bet365. The platform is typically equipped with attractive lines that have more value on spreads or game totals compared to some other major sportsbooks. In addition to having great value odds, bet365 also occasionally offers parlay boosts and early payouts to make winning even more profitable.

Best sportsbook for NFL parlays

The best sportsbook for NFL parlays is DraftKings. DraftKings is known by many for its same-game parlay promotions that may come to fruition later in the season. Their same-game parlay structure leads to higher profit boosts with more legs attached to a slip. Additionally, DraftKings has gifted users no-sweat SGP entries in the past.

Best sportsbook for NFL player props

FanDuel takes the cake for the best NFL player props across U.S. sportsbooks. FanDuel consistently offers the widest selection of passing, rushing, and receiving yards/touchdown props. The platform is also equipped with alternate prop lines, which are useful for more cautious or even more risky bettors.

Best sportsbook for NFL futures

Finally, the best sportsbook for NFL futures is BetMGM. The platform’s lines have stayed relatively steady, which is a big help for experienced sports bettors. Other sportsbooks may have futures lines that are constantly fluctuating when minor news comes out about a team that shouldn’t have that drastic of an impact.
