- BetMGM promo code CBSSPORTS gives new users $150 in bonus bets if their first bet wins and up to $1,500 in bonus bets if the qualifying wager loses, with the offer varying by location.
- SportsLine Projection Model entered Week 10 with an 80-77 record on its top-rated college football picks at betting sites and simulates every FBS game 10,000 times; it projects Alabama to cover 53% of the time against LSU.
- Alabama is backed to cover as a 6.5-point favorite over LSU, a matchup in which the Crimson Tide are 13-2 over the last 15 years and have covered the number in 19 straight meetings; LSU is 1-4 against the spread coming off a 38-17 win over Auburn.
- Georgia is an Eric Cohen pick to cover as a 3.5-point favorite over Ole Miss, which ended Georgia's season with a Sugar Bowl upset; Cohen cited Georgia's response against Florida after a mid-October home loss to Auburn.
- Micah Roberts is taking Miami +7 against Notre Dame, pointing to the Hurricanes' No. 2-ranked offense (534 yards per game, 7.7 yards per play) against the No. 1-ranked defense (236 yards per game allowed) and noting Notre Dame covered only two of its last six games and lost at BYU.
- Darian Mensah has thrown 25 touchdown passes with one interception for Miami, the quarterback Roberts identifies as the Hurricanes' best chance of winning.
- SportsLine's three selections — Alabama, Georgia and Miami — combine into a Saturday BetMGM parlay paying +617, risking $100 to profit $617, with odds subject to change.
Why it matters: New bettors get the offer's biggest payout only when the qualifying wager loses — up to $1,500 versus $150 for a winning first bet. The recommended slate carries its own risk: two small favorites (Alabama -6.5, Georgia -3.5) and Miami +7 combine into a +617 parlay, and the model gives Alabama only a 53% cover probability.
