FanDuel promo code for Texas-Washington: Bet $5 on CFP semifinal, get $150 bonus

The second game of Monday's CFP doubleheader features No. 3 Texas (12-1) and No. 2 Washington (13-0). The Huskies have the better record and arguably the better resume, yet FanDuel pegs the Longhorns as a 3.5-point favorite. Neither program has won a semifinal game in the College Football Playoff era, with Texas making its first CFP appearance in program history and Washington reaching its second Playoff (2016).

First-time FanDuel customers can tackle Texas-Washington with as little as $5 to earn $150 in bonus bets. After that, opt into more in-app promos before kickoff, including a bowl game profit boost for qualifying Same Game Parlays.

The Huskies were underdogs more than you'd expect from a 13-0 conference champ. Washington was nearly a 10-point dog against Oregon in the Pac-12 title game and is once again overlooked tonight. With Heisman finalist Michael Penix Jr. leading the way, Washington defeated Oregon twice, and other ranked teams like Utah and Oregon State to punch its CFP ticket.

Conversely, this is the first time in a long time that we can say Texas is back. The Longhorns have arguably the best regular-season victory on their resume, a 34-24 win at Alabama in Week 2. Despite losing to Oklahoma, Texas did enough to earn a spot in the Playoff for the first time. Now, it's up to QB Quinn Ewers and the rest to advance to a National Championship in their home state.

Although Texas is the favorite, I'm comfortable with Washington +3.5. Even if they don't win, the Huskies have shown weekly resilience and won their fair share of close games. Their defense has question marks, but the Longhorns struggle to convert in the red zone. As long as the defense doesn't break, Penix and the offense will keep the game close from start to finish.
