Californians can still have skin in the game, by way of daily fantasy sports, for the championship on Sunday, despite the fact that traditional sports wagering is not legal yet.
There are multiple operators, including prediction markets, in the Golden State that will have markets for the title game this weekend between the Seattle and New England. There’s going to be plenty of action, since California is hosting the game.
DraftKings products for the big day
DraftKings offers two products in California, which are DraftKings Pick6 and the regular DraftKings DFS.
The Pick6 game is played against other DFS competitors, otherwise known as a peer-to-peer game. You win a share of the prize pool if you have more correct picks than other contest entrants.
The operator is running a special on Seattle’s leading receiver, who’s receiving yards is set at 0.5. He led the NFL in receiving yards during the regular season, which means you should lock in the “over.” His true line is set at 94.5 yards.
New England quarterback has a passing yards line set at 220.5. He’s has thrown for the following number of yards in three playoff games:
- 268 yards vs. Chargers
- 179 yards vs. Texans
- 86 yards vs. Broncos
Despite both the Texans and Broncos games played in tough weather conditions, the Seahawks have one of the most vaunted defenses in the NFL. It might be wise to take the under with Maye, who’s looked a little shaky.
Betr Picks is another product that offers over/under style markets, just like DraftKings Pick6, which is also peer-to-peer.
DraftKings’ regular DFS app prices players out to build a team within the salary cap. Smith-Njigba is the highest-priced player at $17,400.

Kalshi is a prediction market that has tons of available contracts sports fans can make for the Big Game. It has a prop market, which gives Smith-Njigba a 57% chance to reach 90 or more receiving yards.
