FanDuel promo code: Chiefs vs. Saints odds preview and top FanDuel promotions

The reigning Super Bowl champions return to action today against the Saints, who failed to qualify for the playoffs in 2022, the first time since 2008 they had missed the postseason in consecutive years.

Under head coach Andy Reid, one of only two active coaches to lead their teams to multiple Super Bowl wins, the Chiefs remain the team to beat in the AFC West, having won the division in each of the last seven seasons.

NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes will sit out this preseason clash at the Mercedez-Benz Superdome, so veteran backup Blaine Gabbert may get a large piece of the action. The Chiefs will also test out their new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy after his promotion following the 2023 Super Bowl.

Meanwhile, New Orleans has a new man at QB, having added Derek Carr from the Las Vegas Raiders after a 7-10 season. How much Carr plays today, if at all, remains to be seen.

Saints fans may get their first proper look at rookie running back Kendre Miller, who will be looking to impress with Alvin Kamara suspended to start the season, as well as free-agent acquisition Jamaal Williams. Wide receiver Michael Thomas is back fit after a toe injury, while his counterpart Chris Olave had a breakout season as a PFWA All-Rookie selection last year.

As of Thursday, FanDuel listed the Saints as the moneyline favorites at -170 to the Chiefs’ +135, with the total points over/under set at 37.5

Sunday’s game starts at noon CDT and can be watched live on NFL Network.

FanDuel also has extensive wagering options on a variety of football markets including Super Bowl and postseason futures, team win totals, player props and awards, and Week 1 betting lines.

As well as our FanDuel promo code which unlocks a no-sweat first bet for new users, existing players can benefit from numerous ongoing promotions at FanDuel, which include:

• Odds boosts: Receive enhanced odds on select markets.
• Dinger Tuesdays: Bet $25+ on any MLB player to hit a home run on Tuesday and earn an additional $5 bonus for every homer hit by either team in that game.
• Referral bonus: Recruit friends to sign up for a FanDuel account and for each one who joins via your referral link, you’ll both receive $50 in sportsbook bonus bets and $25 in casino credits.
