- FanDuel promo code gives new users up to $350 in bonus bets when they wager $5+ over seven days
- SMU visits Florida State on Monday, Sept. 7 to close Week 1 of the 2026 college football season in an ACC clash, with the Mustangs entering ranked in the top 25
- SportsLine Projection Model has simulated every FBS game 10,000 times and is on a 33-20 run on top-rated CFB money line picks since 2024, upgraded for 2026 to better factor in the transfer portal
- Florida State +2.5 (-105) is the top spread pick, with the Seminoles covering in 59% of model simulations
- Under 54.5 (-110) is the total pick, hitting in 52% of simulations
- SMU QB Kevin Jennings returns after a 9-4 2025 campaign that included early-season losses to Baylor and TCU, but the Mustangs revamped their defensive line through the transfer portal after poor 2025 defense
- Florida State QB Ashton Daniels debuted solidly in Week 0, with the home crowd and Seminoles defense expected to challenge the reckless Jennings
Why it matters: New FanDuel users can secure up to $350 in bonus bets at the cost of just $5 in initial wagering risk, timed to a nationally televised ACC game where the SportsLine model sees clear value on both Florida State +2.5 (59% cover rate) and the under 54.5 (52% hit rate). SMU's 2025 stumble against Baylor and TCU early in the season, combined with a transfer-portal-rebuilt defensive line facing an ACC-tested Florida State attack, gives bettors concrete reasoning for why a ranked SMU could struggle to pull away in Tallahassee.
