- BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS gives new users $150 in bonus bets if their first wager wins or up to $1,500 if it loses, with availability varying by location.
- SportsLine expert Tom Fornelli locked in Under 48 total points for Miami-Clemson, citing Miami receiver Malachi Toney playing at "less than 100%" and the Hurricanes facing their first real defense of the year; Miami is favored by 14.5 points at Clemson.
- USC is a 7.5-point home favorite against Washington, with the SportsLine Projection Model backing Under 58.5 total points after six of the last seven head-to-head meetings finished under that total.
- Iowa is a 14-point home underdog against Ohio State, and expert Mike Tierney pointed to Iowa's FBS-low 8 points per game allowed and a 7-of-8 ATS cover rate when getting points at home against ranked opponents.
- Combining the three picks (Iowa +14, Miami-Clemson Under 48, Washington-USC Under 58.5) into a BetMGM parlay pays +611 (risk $100 to profit $611), with the SportsLine model entering Week 5 on a 32-24 run and returning nearly $600 for $100 players over that span.
Why it matters: New bettors can pair a $1,500 downside hedge (the CBSSPORTS bonus) with a +611 three-leg parlay, and the picks carry stated quantitative backing: the SportsLine model has returned nearly $600 per $100 wagered over a 32-24 run, while Iowa's pick rests on an FBS-low 8 PPG defense allowed and a documented 7-of-8 home ATS record against ranked visitors — concrete numbers that separate this from generic promo copy.
