- SportsLine experts released Week 4 college football best bets across five marquee games: Baylor -9.5 vs Colorado, Texas-Tennessee Under 54.5, Georgia -13.5 vs Oklahoma, Michigan-Iowa Under 38.5, and Oregon -170 on the moneyline vs USC.
- DraftKings is offering new users $150 in bonus bets after a $5 wager, distributed as six $25 tokens via click-to-claim over 14 days, with no promo code required.
- FanDuel's promo awards new users $250 in bonus bets ($50/day) after placing a daily $5+ wager for their first five days, with each batch expiring seven days after receipt.
- BetMGM promo code "CBSSPORTS" unlocks up to $1,500 in bonus bets if the first qualifying wager loses, or $150 if it wins — the offer depends on the user's state.
- Colorado faces depth concerns after coach Deion Sanders dismissed several Buffaloes players on Tuesday, while Baylor expects QB DJ Lagway back from an injury sustained in the opener.
- Michigan vs Iowa is projected as a grind-it-out Big Ten game — expert Eric Cohen predicted a 17-14 Michigan win and said he'd be "borderline shocked" if either team scored more than 21.
- USC has allowed 65 points across its last two games against Rutgers and Louisiana plus an average of 157 rushing yards, per expert Thomas Casale, who called Oregon a "buy-low spot" on the moneyline.
Why it matters: New users in legal-betting states can claim nearly $2,000 in combined bonus bets across DraftKings, FanDuel, and BetMGM before locking in SportsLine's Week 4 picks. The promo structures — particularly DraftKings' $5-to-$150 and FanDuel's $5-daily-to-$250 — lower the cost of testing expert leans like Baylor -9.5, Georgia -13.5, and Oregon's moneyline, though bonuses expire within 7-14 days and require repeat engagement to fully collect.
