Just because the NFL scrapped its preseason doesn’t mean that bettors have to sit on the sidelines. Pennsylvania online sportsbooks have hundreds of futures betting markets, game lines, player props, promotions and bet boosts.
The 2020 NFL season kicks off (fingers crossed, because we don’t trust 2020) on Thursday, Sept. 10, with the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Houston Texans.
Pennsylvania’s pair of NFL teams hit the road for Week One.

DraftKings 2020 NFL promos and boosts
No-Brainer Bets:
The king has lost his marbles. In perhaps the most eye-popping of all offers from PA sportsbooks apps, DraftKings has the Kansas City Chiefs at +101 points for their game against the Texans. We had to check to make sure we weren’t crazy, because 2020 has been rough. That’s right, unless the Chiefs lose by 102 points, your bet wins. The max bet is $50 (they’re not THAT crazy).
DraftKings $100M Golden Ticket Giveaway:
Run, Charlie! But instead of running home to your bedridden grandparents, a 21+ Charlie should run to DraftKings online sportsbook. They are hosting a $100M Golden Ticket Giveaway where customers have a chance to win an instant reward claim and chance at $1 million.

Here are the details:
- DraftKings customers sign into the app and opt into the Golden Ticket Giveaway sweepstakes.
- Customers who play in the free-to-enter $1M Survivor Pool before Week One can instantly claim a free reward ranging from $5 to $25K.
