- BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS gives new users $150 in bonus bets if their first wager wins, or up to $1,500 if the qualifying bet loses, with availability varying by location.
- Ole Miss enters Sunday's Music City Kickoff at Nashville's Nissan Stadium (7:30 p.m. ET) as 7-point favorites over No. 24 Louisville in the first head-to-head matchup of top-25 teams this season.
- SportsLine's Zack Cimini is backing Louisville to cover the 7-point spread, noting the Cardinals under Jeff Brohm have lost by a touchdown or less in 8 of 10 regular-season defeats since 2023, with just one September loss under Brohm.
- Washington State (+23.5) vs. Washington is the SportsLine Projection Model's pick, with the model projecting the Cougars to cover in 63% of simulations and Washington having covered the spread just once against Washington State in the past four years.
- Matt Severance is backing Wisconsin (+21) against Notre Dame, citing the Badgers' ability to play a "slugfest" despite Notre Dame's roster led by Heisman Trophy favorite QB CJ Carr and what Severance called "maybe the best defensive talent in the FBS."
- A three-leg Sunday parlay of Louisville +7, Washington State +23.5, and Wisconsin +21 at BetMGM would pay +590 (risk $100 to profit $590), per the article.
- The SportsLine Projection Model is on a 32-19 run on top-rated college football money-line picks since the 2024 season and has been upgraded for 2026 to factor in transfer portal movement.
- Responsible gaming resources listed include BetMGM's live chat, gaming limits, timeout options, and the 1-800-MY-RESET helpline available 24/7.
Why it matters: The Promo is structured as a loss-back, so first-time bettors can wager risk-free up to $1,500 — a meaningful cushion given that all three SportsLine-flagged underdogs (Louisville +7, Washington State +23.5, Wisconsin +21) are double-digit or near-double-digit 'dogs, and the model enters the 2026 season on a profitable college football money-line run (32-19 since 2024).
