How to Use Prediction Markets to Trade on NFL Playoffs in Texas

Sports betting in Texas is not legal in the traditional sense, as sportsbooks are not available. But prediction markets allow you to trade contracts and win real money picking the winners or NFL Playoff games, as well as most other sports.

At Kalshi, you can purchase yes or no contracts on either Houston or New England to win the game. You can also purchase yes or non contracts on various spreads and totals, with New England -3.5 and over/under 41.5 being the defaults. Kalshi is also listing anytime TD props.

Prices are set on yes or no outcomes, and every share you buy turns into a $1 return if you win. You can also sell your shares, essentially a cash out option, at any time.

How to Register With a Prediction Market in Texas

Registering for a prediction market app or site and claiming a welcome bonus is simple and very similar to signing up at an online sportsbook.

  • Click through any of our prediction market links
  • Create an account using personal information like your date of birth, phone number, social security number and home address
  • Confirm your account

Best DFS Apps in Texas for Texans vs. Patriots

There are several DFS options available for Texans to make picks and plays during the NFL Playoffs.

DFS players in Texas can use Underdog, DraftKings Pick6, FanDuel Fantasy, PrizePicks, Sleeper, Betr Picks, Dabble Fantasy, Chalkboard Fantasy or Boom Sports to add to their enjoyment of Texans vs. Patriots.

With DFS apps, you can participate in drafts and pick’em contests. Drafts are the oldest types of fantasy contests as you put together a team, either through a live draft with other players, or a salary cap, with the goal of creating the highest-scoring team for that game, day or week.

Pick’em contests allow Texans to pick whether a player will be higher or lower in specific stat categories, like CJ Stroud’s passing yards or Woody Marks rushing yards.

How to Register at Texas DFS Apps

Like prediction markets, registering a new DFS account in Texas is an easy process:

  • Use the links on this page to get started
  • Provide your personal information like first/last name, username/password, email address, phone number, residential address, and last four digits of your SSN
  • Verify your identity
  • Deposit funds to your account, which will automatically unlock the best new player promo code

Now you’re ready to play and leave Divisional Round weekend with some extra cash.
