Here's everything you need to know for the Darnold promo, the $150 NFL sign-up bonus, and how to claim both before the 2026 NFL season kicks off on Wednesday night.

NFL Promo Today: Sam Darnold Guarantee Pick for Patriots vs. Seahawks
Darnold's first year in Seattle ended about as well as a season can end — a 4,048-yard, 25-TD campaign in the NFL regular season, capped off by a Super Bowl LX win over these same Patriots.
He heads into 2026 as a defending champ and a two-time Pro Bowler with the respect of the league behind him.
That's exactly the kind of resume that gets a Guarantee Pick treatment in the season opener.
PrizePicks slashed Darnold's passing yards number down to 0.5 for the opener — and the Guarantee Pick is now on the board.

A QB who topped 238 yards a game last season needs just one yard to cash this pick.
Pair the Darnold Guarantee Pick with at least one more player projection to lock in your lineup for Wednesday’s game.
Just know the clock's ticking: Guarantee Picks disappear the moment the game locks, so this one's off the board at 8:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

What is a Guarantee Pick on PrizePicks?
A Guarantee Pick is a limited-time promo on PrizePicks that makes a player projection as close to a W as it can get.
Instead of the usual number, the projection drops all the way down to 0.5 — so the player just needs to hit that stat once for the More to cash.
Just one yard, one point, or one strikeout does it. They don't stick around long, though; once the game kicks, so does the pick. Add it to your lineup before it disappears at lock.
One more thing — Player Picks availability shifts by state, so it's worth a quick check of the full PrizePicks state-by-state breakdown before you get started.
