B/R Drop Zone: DraftKings Big Game Prop Reveal will premiere Tuesday, Feb. 8, at 6 p.m. ET, as a live reveal show giving fans their first look at the most talked-about and intriguing prop bets associated with the Big Game including: No Score First Drive (NSFD), Anytime TD and Dark Horse Over/Under. Featuring Super Bowl Champion and five-time Pro Bowler Aqib Talib, alongside Bleacher Report hosts Connor Rogers and Greg Ivory, and DraftKings Director of Sportsbook Operations, Johnny Avello, the show will include interactive segments and fan giveaways ranging from DraftKings dollars to B/R Betting merchandise. Last year’s debut of B/R Drop Zone: DraftKings Big Game Prop Reveal generated more than 1.1 million video views and was the second most commented live show in the B/R app at that time.

Squad Ride: Big Game Edition will complement the prop reveal show on the day of the Big Game, Sunday, Feb. 13, at 11 a.m. ET. The live show promises an interactive experience full of expert picks, custom DraftKings odds boosts, fan videos and the reveal of a new, quick-resolution bet just in time for the game. Both shows will air on the B/R mobile app, B/R YouTube and Twitter channels. Viewers on the B/R app will be able to follow along and participate with their own takes to win special giveaways.

Bleacher Report will cover all the NFL action with wall-to-wall social content via its B/R Betting handle, which was the most engaged and most viewed social media account devoted to sports betting in 2021. Some of the programming will include Big Bet Ride Along, which will follow whale bettors as they take in the action with millions on the line, and My First Bet, following new bettors and all of the smart and funny ways they place their first-ever wagers.

In the lead up to the event, B/R Betting will showcase high stakes football gaming with special guest, former Cincinnati Bengal -- Chad Ochocinco. Fans can follow all betting action on B/R Betting’s Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and stream in the B/R app.
