BetMGM is offering new users up to $1,500 in bonus bets ahead of Saturday’s Week 11 college football clash between No. 6 Texas and No. 21 LSU. The sportsbook’s latest bonus code, CBSSPORTS, grants $150 in bonus bets if a user’s first wager wins or up to $1,500 if the qualifying bet loses, with availability depending on location.
The primetime game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET and features two offenses ranked among the nation’s best. LSU averages 33.9 points per game, 22nd nationally, while Texas scores 33.1 points per game, ranking 32nd. Quarterbacks Arch Manning for Texas and Sam Leavitt for LSU are central figures. Manning has gained more name recognition, but Leavitt has delivered strong performances with back-to-back games throwing for at least 380 yards. LSU has scored over 30 points in five of its last six contests. Texas, meanwhile, has recorded three straight games with more than 30 points.
The SportsLine Projection Model has simulated every FBS game 10,000 times and finds value in the total points market for this matchup, backing the Over 46.5 points with a 66.4% chance of success. The model also includes picks for other Saturday games, such as the Under 50.5 total points in No. 18 USC vs. No. 9 Indiana, selected by SportsLine expert Eric Cohen, and a pick on No. 2 Utah vs. No. 23 Arizona from Jeff Hochman.
Hochman offered insight into the Utah-Arizona game, noting Utah’s 28-20 win over BYU in the “Holy War” was aided by turnovers and penalties despite BYU outgaining them. Utah’s defense allows 16.6 points per game but struggles against explosive pass plays, ranking 132nd nationally in that category. Arizona’s quarterback, Noah Fifita, ranks among national leaders in completion rate, yards, and big plays. Hochman pointed out that Utah relies on QB Devon Dampier’s running ability but has red-zone challenges, ranking 85th nationally, while Arizona’s defense ranks seventh in red-zone stops.
Combining the three picks into a Saturday parlay at BetMGM Sportsbook would yield a payout of +556, meaning a $100 wager could profit $556, though odds are subject to change.
