How To Bet Seattle Seahawks vs. Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night

BET 1: $5 on Cowboys -9 to win $150 (via Bet365)

For Week 13's opener, we're looking at the spread to kick things off, as one of one of our best bets of the night.

Our DimersBOT NFL prediction model identifies a 53% probability of Dallas covering the nine points tonight. They've covered the spread eight times this year, tied for the most covers in the league and at a rate of 72.7%. Seattle has just a 50% cover rate. The Cowboys have never trailed at home this season and have made a habit of slamming the door shut on opponents in the fourth quarter.

So, why make this bet on bet365? Because new users can claim $150 in Bonus Bets when they sign up and place a $5 bet on anything.

That's right, anything. 

And even better - your bet doesn't even have to win for you to receive the $150 in site credits, so even if we miss our bet, you can walk away with your $150 bonus.

Bet365 may only be available in limited states at the moment (although, keep an eye out because the world-renowned sportsbook have plans to expand outside of their current OH, CO, IA, KY, VA and NJ bases soon), but they’re offering some of the strongest signup offers and boosts on game lines and prop bets out there right now.

BET 2: Bet $5 on Jake Ferguson to Score First TD to win $150 (via DraftKings Sportsbook)

For this play, we're going to highlight a touchdown prop, specifically in the First TD scorer market.

Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has been a key contributor for the Cowboys at a position they sorely needed after losing Dalton Schultz to free agency. Ferguson has four touchdowns this year, three of them in the last five weeks. All four of his touchdowns were either the first or second TD scored in the game, scoring first twice and first for the Cowboys once. Our model gives him a 7.6% probability to do so tonight, the fourth-highest in the whole game.

At +900 odds, you're not exactly getting the value we look for *and* you can get better odds (+1000) on FanDuel, which is where you should bet it if you already have both these books. But if you don't, this is a prime way to cash in on DraftKings' new customer promo if you haven't already. 

DK has a top-tier new customer offer, turning a $5 bet into $150 in Bonus Bets when you sign up. You can bet that $5 on anything and score win or lose, while on FanDuel, your first bet must be on a moneyline and it has to win to secure your bonus.

Regardless of whether Ferguson strikes first tonight or not, DraftKings Sportsbook will credit your account with the $150 in bonuses as long as this is your first $5 bet.
