Written by Jason Bevilacqua, Head of Content and Communities
The NFL season continues on Thursday night with a heavyweight battle between two exciting teams in the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings. With the season now in full swing, sports betting sites are going nuts with offers and promotions in order to entice you to sign up with them. With a little bit of smarts (plus some help from Dimers, the home of the best NFL predictions and picks around), you can leverage all of these offers to turn a measly $56 outlay into over $715 worth of value to kick off the weekend.
Let us fill you in on three plays that you should be making this Thursday night.

Turn $56 Into $715 on Thursday Night Football
Vikings vs. Eagles 8:20PM ET
BET 1: $1 on Justin Jefferson Anytime Touchdown to win $367.20 (via Bet365)
Bet365 may only be available in limited states at the moment (although, keep an eye out because the world-renowned sportsbook have plans to expand outside of their current OH, CO, IA, VA and NJ bases soon), but they’re offering some of the strongest signup offers and boosts on game lines and prop bets out there right now.
New users can claim $365 in Bonus Bets when they sign up and place a $1 bet on anything.
That's right, anything.
And even better - your bet doesn't even have to win for you to receive the $365 in site credits.
But with that said, it's always nice to see one go through the hoop, right? That's why we're attacking this promo by placing our $1 on Justin Jefferson to score an anytime touchdown at odds of +120. While the wide receiver was in fine form in the Vikings' season opener against the Buccaneers with 150 yards on nine receptions, he was unable to get into the endzone as Minnesota suffered a disappointing loss.
We expect that to change, however, with Jefferson regarded by the DimersBOT NFL player prop predictor as the most likely Viking to score on Thursday night, and thus, one of our best NFL prop bets of the weekend.

Just a single buck here is required to profit big. Once again, even if Jefferson doesn't score, we're making out with huge bank to propel us through the rest of the weekend.

In order to make the most of this, you need to make a bet on anything that has odds of -500 or shorter and we're going with the Over 49.5 Total Points market. The Eagles and Vikings are two high powered offenses that can thrill and that can put up points quickly. In the bright lights on Thursday, expect fireworks.
A $50 bet on the over would return us $95.45, plus it gets us that voucher.
BET 3: $5 on Eagles moneyline to win $206.60 (via DraftKings Sportsbook)
If you haven't signed up with DraftKings Sportsbook yet, you might want to change that.
The sportsbook have a great new user offer at the moment, allowing bettors to turn a $5 moneyline bet into $200 in Bonus Bets.
For this play, it just has to be the reigning NFC champions, the Philadelphia Eagles - whose Super Bowl odds are currently listed at +750 - to get the W in their home opener. Jalen Hurts and his team were able to sneak past the Patriots in Week 1, and they'll be stronger for the run as they head to Thursday night.
