Since the launch of sports betting in May, it’s been a year of firsts.
The ride continues with NFL wild card weekend set to begin on Saturday. This is the first time the Colorado sports betting market gets to wager on the NFL playoffs.
In terms of football, the wild card and divisional rounds of the NFL playoffs are the best of the season. Both days are packed with football.
Now that the NFL has added one more team to each conference, wild card weekend jumps from two games each day to three.
By now, you know that the Denver Broncos were not granted an invite to the festivities.
However, those with the itch for NFL betting will get it scratched this weekend. As you would expect, the various sportsbooks are trying to lure bettors to use their apps.
With that in mind, here’s a round-up of the various wild card weekend promos.

You could get a re-do if you bet which player in any game will score the first touchdown.
