Saturday marks the start of college bowl season. It also brings us three NFL games and one of the biggest MMA extravaganzas of the year: UFC 296 live in Las Vegas. If you're thinking about placing a bet on any of these events, then you should start a Caesars Sportsbook account with the'Caesars Sportsbook Michigan promo code SBWIRE1000'and seize a first bet up to $1,000 on Caesars.
The first-bet offer with the Caesars Sportsbook Michigan promo code is one of the leading'Michigan sportsbook promos'because you will get a bonus bet back if your opening wager settles as a loss, up to a maximum of $1,000.
Before we get to Saturday's games – which includes the Detroit Lions hosting the Denver Broncos at 8:15 p.m. ET – there is tonight's Thursday Night Football clash between the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders. Both teams are 5-8 with dim playoff hopes. The Raiders are a 3-point favorite.
Prior to the Broncos-Lions on Saturday night, the Minnesota Vikings, who hold the NFC's second wild card, visit the Cincinnati Bengals, who need a win to jump into the AFC wild-card picture. If the Bengals win, that puts extra emphasis on the Pittsburgh Steelers-Indianapolis Colts battle of the AFC's owners of the second and third wild-card spots. Lastly, the Lions can take a giant step toward clinching the NFC North by beating the Broncos. The'Detroit Lions odds'show Detroit as a 5-point favorite.
