Thanksgiving weekend rolls forward Saturday with a busy day of college football rivalry games and NBA action before NFL Week 13 continues Sunday. The FanDuel promo code offer for new players will score access to a bet $5, get $150 bonus on the games, and with "The Game" set for noon Saturday, we'll use that matchup to demonstrate how the bonus works.

FanDuel Promo Code: Bet $5, Get $150 If Your Bet Wins

New FanDuel customers can explore offerings for the NFL slate. Information regarding specific promo code requirements for potential offers is not available. To participate in any potential offerings, new users typically need to sign up, make a deposit, and place a wager.

This offer presents an interesting opportunity for the Ohio State vs. Michigan matchup. A new bettor could place their qualifying $5 wager on the heavily favored Ohio State moneyline (-390). While no bet is ever a sure thing, a wager on a team with such high implied odds of winning gives you a strong chance to not only win your initial bet but also unlock the $150 in bonus bets. Any bonus offered by a platform like FanDuel would typically be conditional on specific wager outcomes.

Michigan vs. Ohio State Odds

Betting odds reflect consensus odds

The visiting Buckeyes enter "The Big House" as heavy favorites, reflected in their -397 moneyline price. Michigan sits as substantial home underdogs at +308. The most telling indicator is the point spread movement—opening at Ohio State -5.5 but climbing to -10 as money poured in on the Buckeyes. This suggests strong market confidence in Ohio State's ability to win by double digits.

Game Information:

The key matchup centers on Ohio State's offense against Michigan's opportunistic defense. The Wolverines have generated 16 takeaways this season (12 interceptions, 4 fumble recoveries), creating the ball-hawking ability that could neutralize the Buckeyes' aerial attack. However, Ohio State protects the football exceptionally well, committing only 7 turnovers all year.

For Michigan's offense, establishing the run game becomes crucial against an aggressive Ohio State front that's recorded 29.0 sacks. Running back J. Marshall enters riding momentum from a stellar three-touchdown performance in his last outing, giving the Wolverines a proven weapon in the backfield.
