Get winnings at halftime if Carolina or Houston is up by 10+ points on Thursday night
BetMGM continues to offer the Thursday Night Halftime Payout special for the opening Week 3 contest between the Panthers and Texans. Bettors select who they like on the moneyline for the game. If that team is up by 10 or more points at halftime, then the bet pays out in full regardless of what happens in the second half!
As of Tuesday, Carolina is a heavy favorite at the moneyline at -375 while Houston is +300 underdogs. A maximum bet of $250 is allowed for the promotion. This means if Carolina is up by 10 or more points at half, and a bettor put in $250 on the moneyline, they would receive their payout of $316.67 at the break.

$25 risk-free bet for first touchdown scorer of the game
If you’re feeling lucky, BetMGM offers a recurring bonus for the first touchdown scorer of an NFL game. Simply place a bet of up to $25 on the player who will score first. These will generally feature high odds and major payouts. Bettors can also opt into the risk-free bet on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday to take advantage of the deal on three different days.
How good can these odds be? Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is listed with -225 odds to score at anytime during TNF, but that is boosted to +375 for the first touchdown score. Odds frequently jump into four figures, making the payout very large if it lands.

NFL One Game Parlay insurance for any Week 3 game
For most of the season, BetMGM is offering insurance for all of its NFL games. Contests identified with a One Game Parlay logo give bettors the ability to select multiple legs within a game instead of one per contest. If one leg falters, up to $25 is returned as a free bet.
In order to be eligible for the insurance, the OGP must have four or more legs selected. Bettors must use money from their cash account as free bets are not able to be used. This parlay option is only available prior to the game kickoff.

Bet $100 to get a jersey at NFLShop.com in September
One of the more unique deals among sportsbooks is the ability to get a $150 gift card at NFLShop.com towards an authentic jersey. Bettors must place $100 more in NFL bets across the month of September to be eligible.
While many jerseys are available in this price range, the credit can be used to lower the cost of more expensive options. If you haven’t taken advantage of this deal yet, Week 3 is the last opportunity to do so.
