BetMGM is rolling out a new promotion for first‑time bettors. By entering the bonus code FOXNEWS, new users can have their initial wager covered up to $1,500. If the bet loses, BetMGM refunds the stake in the form of bonus bets.
Key College Football Showdowns
The promotion highlights two marquee Saturday games. At 3:30 p.m. ET, Alabama travels to LSU, with both programs holding 6‑2 records. A third loss would push either team to the edge of the College Football Playoff picture. LSU has won four of its last five contests, including a 38‑17 victory at Auburn and a 31‑0 shutout of Mississippi State. Alabama rebounded from consecutive defeats to Georgia and Tennessee with a 31‑20 win over Texas A&M.
Historical data favors Alabama, which has won 15 of the 23 meetings since 2004 and posted a 20‑9 record against LSU last season. This year’s quarterback duel features Alabama’s Keelon Russell against LSU’s Sam Leavitt.
Undefeated Miami Takes on Notre Dame
Unbeaten No. 1 Miami heads to South Bend for a primetime clash with Notre Dame. The Hurricanes, led by quarterback Darian Mensah, have displayed one of the nation’s most explosive offenses, scoring 52 points against Pittsburgh, 43 versus Florida State, and 41 at Clemson. Miami also defeated Notre Dame 27‑24 in last season’s opener.
Notre Dame enters the game with a 7‑1 record and is perfect at home, the lone loss coming at BYU. The contest carries significant playoff implications for both programs.
How the BetMGM Promotion Works
BetMGM’s First Bet Cover is designed for high‑risk matchups. For example, a $100 wager on Miami to win outright would return $275 if the Hurricanes remain unbeaten. If Notre Dame wins, BetMGM refunds the $100 stake as bonus bets.
Similarly, Alabama at +154 is presented as a plus‑money play. The Tide’s historical dominance in the series makes an underdog position a rare opportunity for bettors.
