As the NFC South and West divisions wrap up Saturday, lock in the latest FanDuel promo code offer by wagering $5 on one or both of those markets. If you win, the sportsbook will unlock a massive $250 bonus your way, one of the largest take-home offers on the market ahead of Bucs-Panthers and Seahawks-49ers.



A qualifying wager can be placed on any market of Panthers-Buccaneers and/or Seahawks-49ers Saturday including the spread, moneyline, game total, a player prop or a parlay. Once that wager settles as a win, FanDuel will credit your account with the bonus bets, which can be used over a period of seven (7) days.

FanDuel Promo Code Deal for NFL Week 18 Saturday Games

The FanDuel promo code offer stands out for two very important reasons; the cash entry is only $5 and the payout is an enormous $250 in bonus bets. Plus, with two of the most impactful games of the weekend kicking off Saturday, there is no excuse to miss this opportunity.

As Carolina heads to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers, the Panthers rushing attack will probably be their focus. Behind Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard, Carolina has averaged 4.6 yards per carry in the second half of the season. Putting your first $5 on Dowdle to rush for something like 80+ yards may be a nice way to lock in the welcome offer.

The Buccaneers, on the other hand, will have to continue to be efficient in the passing game. Carolina has improved defensively in this aspect, but it is clearly where Tampa Bay has an advantage over most teams in the league.

In the NFC West, the stakes aren’t just a playoff spot, it’s the number one overall seed along with the divisional crown. The winner of this match gets a bye in the first round and home field throughout the playoffs.

Seattle must find a way to throw off San Francisco’s efficient offense and get them into less-manageable down and distance. Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffrey keep the 49ers on track in early downs, so if the Seahawks can find ways to make negative plays on defense while keeping up their big play ability on offense, we could see the NFC going through Seattle this winter.

Parlay Options and More for NFL Saturday with FanDuel

FanDuel enhances the Saturday slate with a ton of other betting options available right now. Log into your new account to claim the following deals:

  • Bussin’ With the Boys Parlay: Derrick Henry, Rico Dowdle, Christian McCaffrey and Jaxson Smith-Njigba each to score a touchdown (+1194)

  • Panthers-Buccaneers Parlay: Bucky Irving anytime touchdown, Mike Evans 4+ receptions, Tetairoa McMillan 4+ receptions, Rico Dowdle anytime touchdown (+1071)
  • Directions on Securing New FanDuel Promo Code Offer Saturday

Locking up the latest FanDuel promo code offer is quick and efficient. Follow the instructions to see where you can upload your full name, age, home address along with geolocating your cell phone or home computer.

A $5 minimum cash deposit must also be made before you can place a qualifying bet. Do so using any secure banking option, but ApplePay or a debit card work the quickest.

To use the bonus bets you receive from FanDuel, select the amount you wish to use on a single wager in your betslip. You do not have to use the full $250 amount as a lump sum, so you can spread that bonus around to individual wagers. However, bonuses unused after seven (7) days will expire.

Ryan Fox wins first career major at 2026 Open Championship

CNN
(CNN) — Ryan Fox took home the Claret Jug after draining a birdie putt on the 18th hole to win the 2026 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale on Sunday.The 39-year-old Fox beat out American Cameron Young to win his first career major title, becoming only the third New Zealander to win a men’s major golf championship.Fox came into the final hole tied with Young, after the 29-year-old finished the round at 6-under 64 a few hours before.The Kiwi powered his drive into the middle of the fairway and then set up the biggest putt of his golf career so far with an approach shot that landed about 12 feet from the pin.As the putt fell into the hole, the crowd in Southport, England, gave Fox a rousing ovation as he raised both arms in the air to celebrate the achievement.The putt capped off four birdies in the last six holes for Fox.Fox was at a loss for words while speaking to the NBC Sports broadcast after the win.“I don’t really know what to think at the moment. I’ve got a lot of people to thank. First of all, my family. My wife and kids are in Florida at the moment. I spoke to my kids last night and they said, bring back a trophy. I think that’s a pretty cool one to bring back for them,” Fox said. “My family back in New Zealand and all my supporters back there. I know it’s been a long night for them, but I’m glad it was worthwhile.”Fox finished with a 2-under 68 after trailing Sam Burns, who held a two-stroke lead coming into Sunday’s final round.Fox also becomes the third-oldest major winner in the last 10 years, trailing only Phil Mickelson at the 2021 PGA Championship and Tiger Woods at the 2019 Masters.“Just an unbelievable week. The golf course was fantastic. The English weather was fantastic. You guys out there were fantastic. The support was amazing. This is pretty cool. I’m sorry if I’ve forgotten anyone, but thank you very much,” Fox added.It is another disappointment for Young, who is still looking for his first career major title despite winning The Players earlier this year. Young finished one shot back of the win at the 2022 Open Championship at St. Andrews and held the lead heading into the final round at the Masters back in April.It is also another let down for Burns, another golfer looking for his maiden major win.The Louisiana State University alum came into the round ahead by two strokes but quickly lost it and went birdie-free for the final 12 holes.“(Fox) is a well-earned champion and hats off to him,” Burns said. “He did what he needed to do down the stretch and ultimately just came up a couple short today.”Defending champion Scottie Scheffler stayed within striking range throughout the round, but wound up with a 3-under 67 on Sunday to finish tied for fourth with Tommy Fleetwood.After a drama-filled tournament, Bryson DeChambeau finished tied for 14th while Rory McIlroy, who has been critical of the LIV Golfer all tournament long, ended tied for 40th.Fox’s journey to first major winFox’s road to his first career major title wasn’t the easiest. It came with many bumps and U-turns.While speaking to CNN’s Don Riddell ahead of the Desert Classic in Dubai in early 2025, Fox opened up about his mental health issues, including being an older rookie after spending years on the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour of Australia.“I think being a rookie at 37 years old on the PGA Tour was, I probably wasn’t quite prepared for what that was again,” Fox told CNN.“I knew all the golf courses, knew how to travel work, knew where to stay, and everything was new on the PGA Tour, and that was probably a shock to the system more than anything.”Fox comes from a lineage of athletes within his family tree, including his father, Grant Fox, who was a main kicker for the New Zealand national rugby team and his grandfather, Merv Wallace, a former New Zealand cricketer who later coached the national team.Fox spoke out on the “pressure” a golfer faces, mentioning the 2024 death of former PGA Tour golfer Grayson Murray, whose parents later confirmed it was death by suicide.“It can be a stressful life. It’s all performance-based. There’s a lot of pressure on – Looking after your mental health is really, really important, and having people to talk to and all of that is part of that,” Fox said.“It’s a shame it got to that point with Grayson that, you know, we’ve had to have those, those pretty tough conversations now, but it will help – hopefully it helps someone else in a similar situation going forward because we certainly don’t want to see it again.”CNN’s Kyle Tatelbaum and Don Riddell contributed to this reporting This write has been updated with additional reporting The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.
