BetMGM is offering new users a promotional package worth up to $1,500 in bonus bets for the college football games scheduled for Saturday, October 31. The offer requires the use of the code CBSSPORTS. If a qualifying initial wager wins, the user receives $150 in bonus bets. If the wager loses, the payout scales up to the maximum $1,500, depending on the user's location.
The promotion coincides with Week 9 of the FBS season. SportsLine, a data analytics provider, has released its weekly projections for the slate. Their model simulates each game 10,000 times to determine probability. The model entered this week with a 68-59 record on top-rated college football picks at betting sites. That performance returned nearly $400 for every $100 wagered by followers.
Two specific matchups drive the current betting focus. Miami hosts North Carolina. Miami enters the game with a 7-0 record. Their offense ranks first in the nation, averaging 44.3 points per game. The Hurricanes have won five of their seven games by at least 28 points. Quarterback Darian Mensah has passed for 2,151 yards and 21 touchdowns. Wide receiver Malachi Toney has 952 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. North Carolina is 4-3 in its second year under Bill Belichick. The Tar Heels are 1-2 against the spread at home. The SportsLine model projects Miami to cover their 14-point favorite status in 58% of simulations.
Oklahoma State hosts Iowa State. Oklahoma State is a 9.5-point favorite. Coach Eric Morris, who moved from North Texas, brings a fast-paced offense that leads the Big 12 in scoring. The Cowboys average 40 points per game and have covered the spread in six straight games while winning five of them. Quarterback Drew Mestemaker has drawn attention from NFL scouts. Iowa State is 3-4 on the season. The Cyclones lost head coach Matt Campbell and quarterback Rocco Becht to Penn State during the offseason.
Micah Roberts, a SportsLine expert, supports the Oklahoma State pick. Roberts noted that Mestemaker runs the second-best offense in the country. He stated that the Cowboys' offense is fast and exciting. Roberts said he is backing Oklahoma State against Iowa State.
The SportsLine team suggests combining the Miami and Oklahoma State picks into a single wager. A combined bet at BetMGM Sportsbook carries odds of +284. This means a $100 stake would yield a $284 profit if both teams cover their spreads. Odds are subject to change before the games begin.
BetMGM lists responsible gaming tools for users, including live chat, gaming limits, and timeout options. The sportsbook provides contact information for the 1-800-MY-RESET helpline, which is available 24/7 for calls and texts.
