NFL Sunday Week 5: Caesars Sportsbook Promo Code ACTION4FULL Draws $1,250

Week 5's NFL Sunday storylines usher the Caesars Sportsbook promo code ACTION4FULL, which will get new users $1,250 in first-bet insurance for any matchup.

This means that up to $1,250 can be wagered on any Sunday game. Should that bet lose, users will be refunded whatever amount they waged in "free bets."

I'll elaborate below with some examples.

How to Use First-Bet Insurance and Free Bets

My first suggestion would be to always bet on plus-money wagers with promo codes opportunities (hence +150, +350, etc.). You'll see more expected value over time.

These are the two scenarios that could come with your first-bet insurance:

• If your first bet wins: you keep the winnings and your deposit
• If your first bet loses: you’ll get refunded in free bets equal to your wager.

Let's say you'd like to wager $200.

The Steelers made their awaited quarterback swap in Week 4 when they deployed Kenny Pickett — their 2022 first-round selection from University of Pittsburgh — in the second half against the Jets.

Pickett proceeded to throw three picks despite scoring a pair of rushing touchdowns. Mike Tomlin is sticking with his rookie for an uphill climb against a Bills team that commands on both sides of the ball.

It would be no surprise if Pickett utilizes his mobility to combat the Bills heavy pressure. Our Sean Koerner thinks Pickett can tally enough yards on his legs to eclipse the over:

It was a small sample size, but Pickett scrambled on 17% of his dropbacks last week against the Jets when NOT facing pressure and had a 25% scramble rate when facing pressure.

There is no way he will be able to maintain that going forward, but I do think we see him opt to scramble at a high rate as he adjusts to the NFL.

I’m projecting Pickett closer to 24.5 rushing yards as the Steelers will likely be in a trailing game script that forces him to drop back a ton. Buffalo’s defense will also likely pressure him at a high rate. I would bet this up to 20.5.

Jamaal Williams leads the league with six touchdowns and will be the Lions feature back again with D'Andre Swift still out to a shoulder injury. He's averaged 19.5 carries since Week 3 and is set to have another big outing.

Koerner suggests the over on rush attempts against the Patriots:

Williams has dominated the Lions‘ backfield with D’Andre Swift sidelined, accounting for 76% of the team’s rush attempts.

The Lions rank fourth in early down run rate (in neutral situations) which gives Williams a very high floor in this market. He was able to rack up 19 rush attempts last week despite the Lions trailing by at least 10 points for much of the game.

I expect a tighter game script against the Patriots, and I’m projecting him closer to 17.5 attempts. I would bet this up to -135.

Pick: Kenny Pickett Over 18.5 Rushing Yards + Jamaal Williams Over 15.5 Rushing Attempts (+258)

• If the parlay hits, you'll win $516 ($200 x 2.58) and also keep the $200 you placed the bet with. You have a total of $716.
• If the parlay doesn't hit, you'll get $200 back in free bets.

Free bets cannot be withdrawn — you must wager them. If that wager wins, you'll collect the profits, but you won't keep the free bet money.

Let's go with the parlay doesn't hit scenario. You don't have to wager all of your free bets at once, but we will in this example.

The Ravens are 3.5 point favorites against the Bengals on Sunday Night Football. Koerner believes there's reason to back the Bengals and Joe Burrow:

Cincinnati is a 3-point underdog as it travels to visit the Baltimore Ravens. The 17-place luck differential between these two teams is just one of several reasons to back the Bengals.

Cincinnati also matches up well against Baltimore. Joe Burrow is an elite passer against the blitz. Meanwhile, the Ravens blitzed at the sixth-highest rate in 2021 and have recorded the fourth-most blitzes in 2022.

By backing the Bengals, we are on a team that our luck rankings favor and who benefit from a great matchup.

Pick: Bengals +3.5 + Joe Burrow 250+ Passing Yards (+181)

• If the parlay hits, you win $362, but would not keep your $200 in free bets.
• If the parlay doesn't hit, you end up with $0.
