- BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS gives new users $150 in bonus bets on a winning first wager or up to $1,500 if the qualifying first bet loses, with availability varying by location.
- SportsLine Projection Model enters Week 25 of the MLB season on a 26-20 run on top-rated money-line picks, having returned more than $700 for $100 players, and simulates every MLB game 10,000 times.
- Seahawks are 3.5-point home favorites against the Patriots in Wednesday's game that kicks off the 2026 NFL season, with SportsLine's R.J. White backing Drake Maye Over 1.5 interceptions after noting Seattle picked him off twice in the Super Bowl.
- Cubs (+180) are Tuesday's pick against the Brewers, with the model projecting Chicago to win in 42% of simulations versus 35.7% implied odds; Chicago has baseball's top-scoring offense at 5.32 runs per game and scored five runs in four innings against Jacob Misiorowski earlier this season.
- Texas (-1.5) is the pick against Ohio State on Saturday, with expert Jeff Hochman citing Arch Manning completing all three pressured throws for 57 yards and a touchdown, and Texas seeking revenge for last year's 14-7 loss despite outgaining the Buckeyes 336-203.
- Combining all three picks — Cubs moneyline, Maye Over 1.5 interceptions, and Texas -1.5 — into a BetMGM parlay would yield a payout of +903, risking $100 to profit $903, with odds subject to change.
Why it matters: New BetMGM users can effectively hedge their first wager — earning $150 on a win or up to $1,500 on a loss — while the +903 three-leg parlay offers outsized return if the Cubs, Maye's interception prop, and Texas all hit between Tuesday and Saturday.
