- Ohio State opened as a 14.5-point road favorite at No. 14 Iowa for Saturday's 3:30 p.m. ET CBS kickoff, with the over/under at 45.5
- Florida is a 5.5-point road favorite at No. 25 Missouri and USC is a 7.5-point home favorite against Washington — down two from the opening line — with both over/unders at 57.5
- BetMGM offers up to $1,500 in bonus bets if a new user's first wager loses, unlocked with promo code CBSSPORTS and a $10 minimum deposit
- FanDuel pays new users $250 in bonus bets as $50 daily payouts for seven days after placing a $5+ wager, with bonus bets expiring seven days after receipt
- DraftKings delivers $150 in bonus bets to new users as two $25 click-to-claim payouts every seven days for 14 days after a first $5+ wager
- Fanatics Sportsbook credits $350 in non-withdrawable FanCash over seven days ($50/day, opt-in required days 2-7) to new users placing a $20+ first bet at minimum odds of -500
- bet365 issues $200 in bonus bets immediately on a $10+ first wager, Caesars offers up to $250 across five $50 bet resets, and Hard Rock Bet pays $100 in bonus bets (five $20 slips over five weeks) in nine states
Why it matters: New bettors can chase nearly $3,000 in headline bonus value across seven sportsbooks tied to a marquee Week 5 slate, but the offers carry material friction: Fanatics' FanCash is non-withdrawable and can't be redeemed for cash, BetMGM's $1,500 requires the first bet to lose, and several bonuses expire within seven days — so the advertised total overstates what a typical new user can actually convert to withdrawable money.
