BetMGM has launched a promotional offer for new users using the bonus code CBSSPORTS. The promotion provides $150 in bonus bets if the initial wager wins, or up to $1,500 in bonus bets if the qualifying wager loses. The specific terms depend on the user's location. This offer coincides with a busy sports schedule on Wednesday, featuring events across basketball, football, and ice hockey.
One of the most prominent matchups on the slate involves the Golden State Warriors visiting the Houston Rockets. The Warriors currently hold an eight-game winning streak. However, the SportsLine Projection Model predicts this streak will end. The model favors the Rockets to cover the spread as 5.5-point favorites. The total points line for the game is set at 220.5.
In college football, the Buffalo Bulls are recommended to defeat Ball State in MACtion. Buffalo has won four consecutive games and stands 4-1 in conference play, with an overall record of 6-3. Ball State holds a 3-6 overall record and is 2-3 in the MAC. The Bulls recently upset Miami (Ohio) 34-31 in overtime on the road. Quarterback Chance Morrow recorded 12 receptions for 199 yards and two touchdowns in that victory. The model projects Buffalo to cover in 64% of simulations.
The Houston Rockets host the Warriors on Wednesday. Houston improved to 5-1 at home and 8-3 overall after a 110-100 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Monday. While the Warriors are on an eight-game tear, only two of those wins have come on the road. The Rockets possess the fifth-ranked scoring defense in the league, allowing 106.4 points per game. The projection model favors Houston to cover in 56% of simulations.
For NFL betting, SportsLine expert Larry Hartstein has selected the San Francisco 49ers to defeat the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The Cowboys have lost their last two home games to the Arizona Cardinals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Hartstein notes that Dallas ranks 29th in defensive EPA. The Cowboys are also missing tight end Jake Ferguson, running back Ty Goodson, and safety P.J. Locke, all of whom are out for the game. The 49ers feature the NFL's top passing offense, which may welcome back Deebo Samuel.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NBA game 10,000 times. Since 2018, the model has generated nearly $19,000 in profit for $100 players on its top-rated NBA picks. It has achieved four-digit profits in five consecutive seasons. Currently, the model is on a 28-12 record on top-rated spread picks at NBA betting sites, dating back to the previous season.
A combined wager on the three recommended picks yields odds of +550. This means a $100 bet would result in a $550 profit, though odds are subject to change. Bettors can utilize the CBSSPORTS code to access these opportunities. The SportsLine team offers picks against the spread, totals, and money lines for various sports, including the NBA, NFL, college football, college basketball, UFC, and NHL.
