- BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS gives new users $150 in bonus bets if their first bet wins or up to $1,500 in bonus bets if their qualifying wager loses, with the offer varying by location.
- Ole Miss is favored by 7 points over No. 24 Louisville in the Music City Kickoff at Nissan Stadium in Nashville at 7:30 p.m. ET, the first head-to-head matchup of top-25 teams this season.
- SportsLine expert Zack Cimini is backing Louisville (+7), noting that under coach Jeff Brohm, 8 of Louisville's 10 regular-season losses since 2023 have been by a touchdown or less, and the Cardinals have suffered just one September loss under Brohm.
- SportsLine expert Matt Severance is backing Wisconsin (+21) vs. Notre Dame, projecting a "slugfest-type slow-it-down game" like 31-13, despite calling Notre Dame's club — led by QB and Heisman Trophy favorite CJ Carr — Marcus Freeman's most talented yet.
- SportsLine Projection Model sees value in Washington State (+23.5) vs. Washington, projecting the Cougars to cover in 63% of 10,000 simulations; Washington has covered the spread against Washington State just once in the past four years.
- Combining the three picks (Louisville +7, Wisconsin +21, Washington State +23.5) into a BetMGM parlay results in +590 odds (risk $100 to profit $590), with the model running 32-19 on top-rated CFB money-line picks since the 2024 season after a 2026 upgrade to factor in the transfer portal.
Why it matters: For bettors using the CBSSPORTS code, the three SportsLine-backed underdog picks carry specific data points — Louisville's 8-of-10 close losses under Brohm, Washington's 1-in-4 ATS mark vs. Washington State, and a 32-19 model run on CFB moneylines — that move the three legs beyond hunches into quantified edges, and a +590 parlay payout amplifies the bonus-bet structure BetMGM is offering for Sunday's slate.
