Cardinals vs. Giants: Over 7.5 total runs (-110)

Anyone claiming sportsbook promos should know the Cardinals' offense has been rolling lately. St. Louis is averaging 7.8 runs over its last six games, including eight runs per game over its last three contests. The Giants are averaging 5.7 runs over their last three contests. The Over is an astonishing 14-1-2 in the last 17 Cardinals games, and 5-2-1 in the last eight Giants contests. The Giants are starting three-time All-Star Logan Webb, but the 29-year-old allowed nine runs in two innings against the Pirates on Tuesday. The model projects the Over to hit in 58.3% of simulations. Back the Over by claiming the latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS here:

SMU (-2.5) vs. Florida State (-125)

"Florida State was only up 17-10 at the break over a bad New Mexico State team, ranked 123rd in SP+ last season," SportsLine expert David Bearman said. "The Aggies started an FCS transfer, who threw all over FSU's secondary. The SMU Mustangs are ranked top 25 in returning production, including QB Kevin Jennings, who is going to love this FSU defense. And they bring back 3/5ths of the OL. The SMU defense is strong against the rush (12th in EPA per rush), which is what the Noles like to do." Back SMU by claiming the latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS here:

AJ Barner, Seahawks, Over 24.5 receiving yards (-110) on Wednesday

"In the Super Bowl, Seahawks tight end A.J. Barner caught four passes for 54 yards and a touchdown as New England's secondary successfully shut down Jaxon Smith-Njigba," SportsLine expert Eric Cohen said. "Look for a similar outcome in Week 1, with Christian Gonzalez and New England's defense scheming to slow the Seahawks' star wide receiver. That should leave Barner some room to operate in the intermediate area of the field. He was over this line in seven of the Seahawks' last 11 games in 2025-26 and should be able to once again find success on Wednesday night in the 2026-27 opener." Back this player prop by claiming the latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS here:
