MNF Betting Strategy for Raiders vs. Lions

Las Vegas Raiders vs. Detroit Lions 8:15PM ET

BET 1: $5 on Lions -7 to win $150 (via Bet365)

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.

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.

But we still like finding winners here at Dimers, so that's exactly what we're going to do. For the Week 8 finale, we're going with the Lions to cover the spread against the Raiders.

We highlighted this pick in our Sports Equinox Parlay and we love it enough to recommend it here as well. DimersBOT gives the Lions a 52% chance of a cover and they've won by at least 7 in four of their five victories this year, while the Raiders have failed to score more than 20 points in all but one game this season.

But the best thing about this bet with bet365? Even if the Lions fail to cover or even lose, we'll still claim $150 in bonus bets to end Week 8's thrilling action.

BET 2: $5 on Davante Adams to Score a Touchdown to win $200 (via DraftKings Sportsbook)

If you haven't signed up with DraftKings Sportsbook yet, you should change that.

The sportsbook has a great new user offer at the moment, allowing bettors to turn a $5 bet into $200 in Bonus Bets, plus a No Sweat Bet token that you can use on a Same Game Parlay every single day for the rest of the NFL season.

For this play, we're going to highlight a touchdown prop with noticeable value. Raiders WR Davante Adams gets a 47.6% probability to score an anytime touchdown tonight at odds of +150 on DraftKings. Those odds imply just a 40% chance, so we get a 7.6% edge in the odds.

He's got value at his +1100 First TD odds as well, with an 11.1% chance against his implied 8.3% probability so it's a smart play either way!

Regardless of whether Adams scores or not, DraftKings Sportsbook will credit your account with $200 in bonuses as long as Adams to score is your first $5 bet, plus you'll get additional No-Sweat Bet tokens to use for the rest of the season.

BET 3: $5 on Lions ML to win $150 (via FanDuel)

FanDuel's latest offer is quite appealing, with $150 in bonus bets up for grabs, but it comes with one big caveat: your first $5 bet has to be a moneyline bet and it has to win to claim the bonus. However if you win, in addition to the $150 bonus, you'll also receive three months of access to NBA League Pass, so there's an extra incentive!

You can place your $5 bet on any team you choose, but if you want to take advantage of the promo for Monday Night Football, we'd recommend betting on the Lions. If the bet didn't require a win, the Raiders would be the play, as win or lose you would get the $150 and if they pulled the upset, you'd cash a sweet +300 ticket.

Our model gives the Lions a huge 75% probability to win tonight, giving you great odds to cash your win and secure $150 in bonuses for your bankroll. The Lions are looking to avenge a brutal loss to the Ravens last week and the Raiders should get rolled over.
