The Kansas City Chiefs host the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football to conclude the Week 8 NFL schedule. The Commanders will be without quarterback Jayden Daniels, who suffered a knee injury last week against the Cowboys and won’t play on Monday. That has caused significant movement in the Monday Night Football betting lines, with Kansas City favored by 10.5 points following Daniels’ injury. Although Daniels is out, the Commanders will have a lift at receiver with Terry McLaurin (quad) and Deebo Samuel (heel) both set to return to play. Kickoff from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, is set for 8:15 p.m. ET. The over/under for Chiefs vs. Commanders is 48 points.

Here’s a closer look at available sportsbook promos on some of the top NFL betting sites, as well as the best betting apps that are available for Chiefs vs. Commanders on Monday Night Football, with instructions on how to claim each offer and where to bet NFL.

Where to bet on Chiefs vs. Commanders on Monday Night Football

The DraftKings promo code, bet365 bonus code and FanDuel promo code all offer bonus bets after new users place a wager of $5 or more. The bet365 bonus code CBSSPORTS offers new users either $200 in bonus bets with the placement of a $5+ bet, or up to a $1,000 first bet safety net. Users receive the $200 bonus whether the bet wins or loses.

At DraftKings and FanDuel, you need to win your first bet to receive the bonus, but the reward is even greater. FanDuel offers new users $300 in bonus bets if their first bet of at least $5 wins. DraftKings also offers $300 in bonus bets with a winning wager of at least $5, but with the latest DraftKings promo code with the 2025-26 NBA season beginning, new users also receive three months of NBA League Pass free, on top of the $300 in bonus bets.

The latest Fanatics Sportsbook promo code provides new users who place a cash wager of at least $1 on any market with odds of -500 or longer up to $200 in FanCash per day every day for ten (10) consecutive days, if the initial wager settles as a loss. This promotion is available to eligible users in states where Fanatics Sportsbook legally operates (except New York).

The latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS awards new users up to $1,500 back in bonus bets if their first bet loses. BetMGM users in New Jersey, West Virginia, Pennsylvania or Michigan can get a different promotion and receive $150 in bonus bets if you win your first bet of $10 or more.  

The Caesars Sportsbook promo code is different than the aforementioned offers, providing profit boosts instead of bonus bets. At Caesars, new users can get 20 100% sportsbook profit boosts with a $1 bet. 

Bettors can use any of these promotions for Commanders vs. Chiefs for Monday Night Football on Monday, October 27.

Yes, not having Jayden Daniels is far from ideal for the Commanaders, but Marcus Mariota is likely one of the best backup quarterbacks in the NFL, and given how drastically the line shifted from Daniels to Mariota being named the starter, the model projects value in taking the points with Washington. Terry McLaurin takes the field for the first time since Week 3, and that provides a significant offensive lift with the 30-year-old coming off his fifth straight season with at least 1,000 receiving yards while also having a career-high 13 touchdowns. Mariota can make enough plays for Washington to keep pace with Kansas City, as the model projects the Commanders to cover in 55% of simulations.

Over 48 points

Patrick Mahomes has his full complement of playmakers for just the second time this season, and he led Kansas City to 31 points against the Raiders last week with Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce all active. Rice had seven receptions for 42 yards and two touchdowns in his return from suspension, and despite all the new and younger playmakers, the reliable Kelce still led Kansas City with 54 receiving yards. Mahomes is once again playing elite football, entering Week 8 with 1,800 passing yards, which is fourth in the NFL, as Kansas City is sixth in the NFL in scoring offense, averaging 26.6 ppg. Having McLaurin and Deebo Samuel back for Washington will be crucial for Mariota, and the model expects the veteran backup to lead enough scoring drives for this game to hit the Over. The model projects the Over to hit in 52% of simulations.
