BetMGM bonus code for college football, MLB and more on Friday, August 29

The first full week of the college football season continues with 11 FBS games on Friday, Aug. 29, including Colorado hosting Georgia Tech and Auburn visiting Baylor. There's also a loaded MLB slate in addition to two WNBA contests.

If you want to place bets on Friday's top games, sign up with the BetMGM bonus code SPORTSLINE, which gives new users up to $1,500 in bonus bets if their first bet loses.

The BetMGM bonus code SPORTSLINE is only available to new users who are 21 or older in a state where the sportsbook operates. Follow these steps to claim the offer:

If your first bet at BetMGM wins, you get the winnings and stake back like normal. If it loses, you get your stake back in bonus bets up to $1,500. If you bet under $50 and lose, you will receive one single bonus bet slip equal to your first bet's stake. If you bet $50 or more and lose, you get five bonus bet slips each worth 20% of your stake. So if you bet $1,000 on one of Friday's top games and that bet loses, you'd get five $200 bonus bet slips. Bonus bets expire after seven days and can't be withdrawn, as they hold no cash value. If you win a wager using bonus bets, you get the winnings but not the stake.

Two non-conference clashes highlight Friday's college football slate. Auburn faces off with Baylor at 8 p.m. in a noteworthy matchup. Auburn went 5-7 under head coach Hugh Freeze and are looking for a big step forward in Freeze's third year in this post. The Tigers have a new quarterback in Jackson Arnold, who transferred to Auburn from Oklahoma. Baylor won eight games last year after consecutive losing seasons, and Dave Aranda's program returns plenty of firepower on offense, such as quarterback Sawyer Robertson and 1,000-yard rusher Bryson Washington. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every college football game 10,000 times, is taking Under 58.5 points, as that side of the total hits in 60% of simulations.

Another top game sees Deion Sanders' Colorado squad host Georgia Tech. Dynamic dual-threat quarterback Haynes King is back for Georgia Tech, which is aiming to emerge as an ACC contender in 2025. As for the Buffaloes, Sanders' team replaces a lot of top players, such as his son Shedeur, the team's quarterback the last two years, and two-way Heisman winner Travis Hunter. Kaidon Salter comes to Colorado from Liberty, where he was conference player of the year in 2023. The model likes the Buffs as Colorado wins in just under 50% of simulations as +160 underdogs.

And on the diamond, a big AL Central clash between the Tigers and Royals is one of the highlights of Friday's sports schedule. Detroit is up 8.5 games over Kansas City in the division, and the Royals trail the Mariners by three games for the third and final AL Wild Card spot. Chris Paddack (5-11, 4.98 ERA) starts for Detroit while Kansas City hands the ball to Seth Lugo (8-6, 3.99 ERA). The model has issued an 'A' grade for Tigers -1.5 as that side of the spread hits in 76% of simulations, returning value at -207 odds.
