- BetMGM is offering new users a split bonus — $150 in bonus bets if the first wager wins, or up to $1,500 in bonus bets if it loses — tied to bonus code CBSSPORTS and available depending on location.
- Saturday's Week 4 college football slate features six ranked-vs-ranked matchups, with the SportsLine Projection Model flagging three best bets: Ole Miss (+4) vs. Florida, the over 61.5 on Oregon-USC, and Texas A&M (+8) vs. LSU.
- SportsLine Projection Model is 22-19 on top-rated college football picks at betting sites this season and has been upgraded for 2026 to better factor in the transfer portal, simulating every FBS game 10,000 times.
- Micah Roberts is backing Ole Miss (+4) at Florida, arguing the Gators return only three starters per side of the ball and went 4-8 last year, while Ole Miss has already beaten ranked LSU and Louisville.
- Eric Cohen is playing the over 61.5 in Oregon-USC, noting Lincoln Riley vs. Dan Lanning prior meetings finished 36-27 and 42-27 (both Oregon wins) and that Oregon gave up 66 combined points in Weeks 1-2.
- Marcel Reed torched LSU for 202 passing yards, 108 rushing yards, and four touchdowns in Texas A&M's 49-25 win last year, and the model projects Texas A&M to cover the 8-point spread in 63% of simulations.
- A three-leg parlay of the model's picks at BetMGM Sportsbook would return +602 (a $602 profit on a $100 risk), per the article.
- LSU enters the Texas A&M matchup coming off a 32-24 loss to Lane Kiffin's Ole Miss, per the article.
Why it matters: The promo converts BetMGM's Saturday slate into a concrete value proposition: a $1,500 backstop on a first bet that doubles as a low-risk trial for new users, with three model-backed picks offering a +602 parlay payout. For bettors, the leverage is the SportsLine model's 22-19 track record and 63% simulation confidence on Texas A&M covering, while LSU — fresh off a loss — faces an Aggies squad whose QB Marcel Reed has a documented history of dismantling the Tigers.
