- BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS offers new users $150 in bonus bets if their first wager wins, or up to $1,500 if it loses, with terms varying by location.
- SportsLine expert Mike Tierney is backing Under 51.5 in No. 2 Georgia vs. No. 6 Alabama at 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday, noting the total has dropped more than four points amid a hurricane-like forecast with winds in the mid-20s.
- SportsLine expert Eric Cohen has Texas (-7.5) vs. Oklahoma at 3:30 p.m. ET, citing Texas's 49-, 31-, and 17-point wins over the Sooners in three of the last four years while Oklahoma managed just 37 total points across losses to Michigan, New Mexico, and Georgia.
- The SportsLine Projection Model has Kentucky (+8.5) covering against No. 10 LSU at 7 p.m. ET in 62% of simulations; the Wildcats are 4-1 overall and 2-1 in the SEC heading into the game.
- All three picks combined into a BetMGM parlay pay +612 (risk $100 to win $612, odds subject to change), with the model entering Week 6 on a profitable 40-35 run on top-rated college football picks after simulating every FBS game 10,000 times.
Why it matters: New users get insurance on their first wager — $150 if it wins, up to $1,500 if it loses — effectively lowering the entry cost to BetMGM during a loaded SEC Saturday. Bettors backing the Georgia-Alabama under face concentrated risk on the hurricane forecast, which Tierney himself flagged has driven the line down four points; if the storm underperforms, that leg collapses.
