- BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS gives new users $150 in bonus bets if their first bet wins or up to $1,500 in bonus bets if the qualifying wager loses, with the offer varying by location
- Seattle hosts New England at 8:20 p.m. ET Wednesday in the 2026 NFL Kickoff Game — a Super Bowl rematch with the Seahawks installed as 3.5-point home favorites at BetMGM
- The SportsLine projection model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, projects Seattle covers in 65% of simulations and enters the 2026 season on a 53-37 run on top-rated picks since 2024
- SportsLine expert Larry Hartstein is backing Seahawks rookie Jadarian Price Over 63.5 total rushing + receiving yards in his NFL debut after sitting out the entire preseason, noting Seattle returns its entire offensive line
- Alex Selesnick (PropStarz) is backing AJ Barner Over 23.5 receiving yards, citing new Seahawks OC Brian Fleury's tendency to feature tight ends after serving as San Francisco's TE coach for four seasons
- Combining all three picks into a BetMGM same-game parlay would payout +400 (risk $100 to profit $400), with the source noting the Patriots lost nose tackle Khyiris Tonga to the Chiefs this offseason
Why it matters: The CBSSPORTS code functions as a first-bet insurance product up to $1,500, with a smaller $150 win-side bonus — a structure that materially reduces downside for new BetMGM users wagering on the opener. The model's 65% Seattle cover projection rests on concrete facts: Seattle was last season's No. 3 scoring offense (28.4 ppg) and No. 1 scoring defense (17.2 ppg allowed), while the Patriots' 28.8 ppg came against one of the league's easiest schedules — a gap that closes immediately against the defending champs.
