Matt Nagy Expects To Coach Final Two Games Of Season With Bears

Dec 28, 2021 8:02 AM

Matt Nagy expects to remain head coach of the Chicago Bears for the final two games of the 2021 regular season.

Nagy is widely expected to be fired this offseason. A new rule that allows teams to interview head coaching candidates during the final two weeks of the regular season if the coach is either fired or has been given notice complicates the situation for Nagy to finish out the season.

Asked Monday if he assumed he will coach out the season, Nagy nodded and said: "Yes."

The Bears are 5-10 and coming off a win at the Seattle Seahawks.

Bears' Robert Quinn: Refs 'Controlling The Game A Little Too Much'

Dec 21, 2021 8:55 AM

The Chicago Bears were not happy with the officiating after Monday night's 17-9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

The Bears were called for five personal fouls out of nine total penalties, including a rare flag against Matt Nagy for arguing a call at Soldier Field.

"Some of these calls are starting to get a little crazy," Robert Quinn said. "These refs seem like they're controlling the game a little too much. So, when a play is clean and they're throwing a flag for something that they thought they could change a game [with] just by one flag ... let guys play ball. If this was a couple years ago, half of this stuff wouldn't even be called. But now, they got so many of these stupid rules, they dang near in a ref's hands [and] could change the game in any given moment.

"I think they need to go check the refs they hire and not our coach."

Betway Sportsbook Offer NFL Week 15: $250 Risk Free Bet!

Apr 1, 2022 6:55 AM

There’s no need to worry when you place your first bet at Betway Sportsbook if it isn’t a winner. For new users, the operator is now offering a risk-free bet up to $250.

Betway Sportsbook Welcome Bonus and Promo Code

Betway doesn’t require nearly as extensive of playthrough requirements as some operators do when cashing in on a sign-up bonus, making this a great deal to take advantage of, simply by using our Betway promo code. You must be new to Betway Sports, which currently operates in five U.S. states: Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Betway Sportsbook Bonus Offer

$250 Risk Free Bet! CODE: REALGM
BET NOW
Must be 21+ to participate. Terms and conditions apply

When you head over to the Betway site, you’ll be greeted by a large, green “Join Now” icon on the screen. Click that to begin the simple process of setting up your new account.

By inputting some basic personal information — such as your name, email address, birthdate and home address — you’ll be able to register for a Betway Sports account in a matter of minutes. There’s no promo code required for the first deposit match, but rather each customer will have a choice for whether or not they wish to opt in (if you don’t opt in, you’ll simply have access to the funds you deposit into your account, without any bonus from Betway).

Betway Sportsbook Welcome Bonus and Promo Code

Assuming you do opt in and complete your account registration, you’ll have seven days to place an initial deposit of at least $10 and place your bet, which must also settle during the same period. The wager must be on odds of at least -300 as well and can’t be on an odds boost.

If your bet wins, you won’t collect a free bet. But if it loses, you will get site credit up to $250. This free bet is typically credited to your account within 24 hours of your first bet settling, and you have seven days to use it. You will be able to withdraw any winnings from the risk-free bet, but the bet itself can’t be withdrawn. So, if you bet $250 at +150 odds, you would win $375 in cash winning but the $250 stake goes back to Betway.

There’s no better time than a Sunday full of NFL games to jump on the Betway promo code.

Betway Great for Parlays

If you love parlays, you’ll love Betway.

Not only does Betway feature a same-game parlay builder that allows you to construct your perfect combination bet in the game of your choice, this operator also offers up to a 15% boost on NHL parlays. Each leg must have minimum odds of -500 and it is available on moneyline, main puck line, main totals and win/draw/win lines.

What’s A Free Bet at Betway?

Betway Sportsbook Welcome Bonus and Promo Code

Before you start earning free bets with Betway, you might need a reminder of what exactly a free bet is. In short, a free bet is a form of site credit that you use to place bets — just like you’d use real money.

The difference is that real money can be cashed out, but free bets cannot. They don’t hold any cash value on their own, but if you use them right you can earn real money through wagers.

DraftKings Sportsbook Offer NFL Week 15: Deposit Bonus Up to $1,000!

Apr 1, 2022 6:54 AM

Pretty much every sportsbook has its own version of a welcome deal for new users, but how many of them require just a $1 investment to win big? There’s only one that we know of, and it’s DraftKings Sportsbook.

DraftKings New York Welcome Offer and Promo Code

From now until midnight, new users at DraftKings Sportsbook will win $100 in free bets by placing a $1 moneyline wager on any NFL game before it begins. This “Bet $1, Win $100” offer is applicable for moneyline bets in the NBA, college basketball, college football or boxing.

We say you “will” win, and not just that you “could” win, because the $100 free bet bonus is granted as long as a team scores a point (or a fighter lands a punch) in your moneyline bet. So, yeah, you can bank on this one.

To qualify, you must be a new user signing up for a DraftKings Sportsbook account for the very first time. Additionally, you need to 21 or older and located in either Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, Wyoming or West Virginia.

To score $100 in free bets from a $1 wager, make sure you’ve registered for your new DraftKings Sportsbook account first. On DraftKings Sportsbook’s website, you should see the “Bet $1, Win $100” at the top of your screen. You can click the “Sign Up” panel from there to register for an account.

Deposit at least $5 into your account when you’re signing up because it’s a requirement for the promotion (we’ll explain later why you might want to deposit more).

All that remains is placing your moneyline bet. Again, whether you opt for something in the NFL betting market, an NBA game or something else, it’s going to lead to $100 in free bets. Then again, you’ll want to win your money back (and then some), too, so choose wisely. You only have to bet $1 for this offer, but you can certainly bet more if you like a particular matchup.

DraftKings Welcome Offer and Promo Code

This Sunday’s Cardinals/Lions matchup in the NFL is a perfect example of how you might take advantage of this promotion. The Cardinals are -800 moneyline chalk according to DraftKings’ NFL odds, which means a $1 bet on Arizona would only net 12 cents in potential profits. Of course, with DraftKings, you can tack on $100 in free bets to your winnings and it’ll start to look a lot better.

Shortly after the game you’ve bet on is complete, you’ll receive the $100 free bet bonus as four $25 free bets. Each of those free bets must be used within seven days of when they’re received.

What Is A Free Bet?

A free bet is a form of site credit that doesn’t hold any real cash value. You use free bets the same way you use real-money wager: to place bets, and make money. The only difference is that free bets themselves cannot be cashed out at any time, and they typically have an expiration date.

Taking one of the $25 free bets from the promotion described above, you could pick the favored Vikings to cover a 3.5-point spread against the Bears on Monday night. At -110 odds, that free bet would earn $22.72 in the event of a win.

DraftKings Sportsbook Promo Code Delivers Deposit Bonus

When you make your initial deposit during the “Bet $1, Win $100” promotion, you’ll also receive a 20% deposit bonus with DraftKings Sportsbook.

DraftKings Welcome Offer and Promo Code

Remember, the minimum required deposit is $5. That’s fine, but it only yields a bonus of $1. If you deposit, say, $100, at least you’re getting $20 of bonus funds in return.

Those bonus funds are paid out as cash, but they aren’t paid out all at once. DraftKings deploys a 25X play-through requirement, which means bettors must wager $25 in real money to receive $1 of bonus funds in return. You’ll have 90 days to achieve your full bonus from the day the first deposit is made.

Aaron Rodgers Doesn't Regret Saying 'I Still Own' Bears

Dec 9, 2021 1:14 PM

Eight weeks after telling fans at Solider Field that he still owned the Chicago Bears, Aaron Rodgers said he doesn't regret his declaration.

Rodgers made headlines by yelling "I still own you!" after a touchdown run in Green Bay's victory.

"I don't know that you can question a whole lot of what I said," Rodgers said. "We have gotten the better of them the last, I don't know, 27, 28 times we've played them for the most part ... A lot of times in situations like this, the trash talk is only going to be used if you're getting after that individual that was trash-talking. So in order to trash-talk, you have to have a lot of confidence in what you accomplished and what you're going to accomplish in the future.

"At some point, what I said will be used against me -- that's just part of it. But I have no regrets for saying what I said, and obviously I think the record kinda speaks for itself. But I get it. At some point that will be used against me. It is what it is. I don't regret saying it at all."

Rodgers has won five straight against the Bears and is 22-5 overall as a starter against the Packers' NFC North rival.
