- BetMGM is offering new users $150 in bonus bets if their first wager wins, escalating to $1,500 in bonus bets if the qualifying bet loses, depending on location.
- SportsLine's Projection Model backs the Bills to cover as 7-point favorites over the Chargers, projecting a cover in 54% of 10,000 simulations; Buffalo has scored 41 and 36 points in its first two games behind Josh Allen's nine total touchdowns.
- SportsLine's David Bearman is targeting Lamar Jackson's Over 38.5 rushing yards against the Cowboys, citing Dallas's NFL-high 126 rushing yards allowed to quarterbacks on 19 carries (6.6 YPC); Jackson is averaging 6.7 yards per rush this season.
- SportsLine's Mike Tierney is picking the Rams to cover as 2.5-point road favorites over Denver on Sunday Night Football, noting three of Denver's four rostered running backs are ailing and Aaron Donald logged only 33 snaps in his "un-retirement game" last week.
- The SportsLine model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since inception and entered Week 3 on a 53-41 run dating back to the 2024 season.
- Combining all three picks into a BetMGM parlay yields +564 odds, risking $100 to profit $264, though the Bills' 54% cover projection hovers near a coin flip.
- The CBS Sports sweep: parallel promos from FanDuel ($250 bonus), DraftKings ($150), and Kalshi ($55) are all targeting the same Ravens-Cowboys, Rams-Broncos, and Bills-Chargers Week 3 slate — every sportsbook chasing the same Sunday betting menu.
Why it matters: New bettors can effectively double their first BetMGM deposit on Sunday NFL action, while the SportsLine picks — particularly the Bills at a 54% projected cover rate — show that even "model-best" plays hover barely above a coin flip, meaning the real edge here is the bonus-bet insurance rather than the handicapping.
