- BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS offers new users $150 in bonus bets if their first bet wins or up to $1,500 if it loses, with availability depending on location.
- SportsLine expert Emory Hunt is backing Miami as 24.5-point favorites over Stanford, pointing to transfer QB Darian Mensah and saying the Hurricanes 'have shown the ability to reload the last three seasons.'
- The SportsLine Projection Model is taking the Under 48.5 in Michigan State vs. Toledo, projecting it to hit in 65% of its 10,000 simulations per game.
- Hunt is also picking Fresno State (+21.5) vs. USC, noting Fresno State is a stiffer trench matchup than San Jose State was in USC's previous game.
- Combining Miami, Fresno State, and the Toledo-Michigan State Under into one BetMGM parlay pays +624, meaning a $100 bet profits $624.
- Toledo enters with a rebuilt offense under first-year head coach Mike Jacobs, as nearly the entire starting unit came through the transfer portal, including QB John Alan Richter, who threw just 25 passes last season.
- Michigan State has allowed 7.7 points per game across its last three season openers, with all three games finishing under 40 total points.
- The SportsLine Projection Model is on a 32-19 run on top-rated college football money-line picks since 2024 and has been upgraded for the 2026 season to better weigh transfer-portal impact.
Why it matters: The promo effectively hedges a new user's first wager — winning nets $150 in bonus bets, losing nets up to $1,500 — giving college football bettors a low-cost entry into a Friday parlay paying +624 that pairs an expert's Miami and Fresno State picks with a model-driven Under in Toledo-Michigan State.
