OF vs FOR / WITH vs TO

Could you tell me which word you'd choose please?

FOR vs OF

Their million-pound bid for the company was trumped at the last moment by an offer for/of almost twice as much from their main competitor.

WITH vs TO

They have no connection with/to terrorists.

Can you tell me what you think about these 2?

- I'm not as fast as him at tracking calls. He's the expert.
- He came out from the highway underpass in a car they switched into to lose the police.

Thank you
