FanDuel has launched a promotional offer targeting fans of the National Football League's Week 2 action, specifically the Thursday Night Football match between the Detroit Lions and the Buffalo Bills. The provider is offering up to $350 in bonus bets to users who place a qualifying wager of $5 or more over a seven-day period.

The match carries significant institutional weight as it marks the opening night for the Bills' new Highmark Stadium. According to CBS Sports, which detailed the promotion and match odds, the Buffalo Bills are listed as 5.5-point home favourites, with the over/under set at 54.5 points.

Buffalo defensive tackle Ed Oliver has been confirmed inactive for the contest due to a hip injury. The absence impacts the Bills' defensive line ahead of a game that features a high-scoring potential, given the offensive capabilities of both squads.

The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, predicts the over on the 54.5-point total will hit in 57 per cent of simulations. The model also assigns a "B" grade to the Detroit Lions money line, with the team winning outright in 42 per cent of simulations.

Context from Week 1 suggests both defences have vulnerabilities. Detroit allowed 24 points in the second half of their overtime victory against the New Orleans Saints, while Buffalo allowed 381 yards in their win in Houston. The Lions' running back Jahmyr Gibbs led the team in Week 1 with 186 yards and two rushing touchdowns.

The promotion is subject to specific terms and conditions, which FanDuel advises users to review on its dedicated promo code page. The betting market remains focused on the high-profile matchup between Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen and Detroit quarterback Jared Goff.
