3:30 p.m. | Ole Miss at Georgia | ABC
The Ole Miss Rebels barely got past a bad Washington State team last week. As Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin said, his team was as focused and ready as the student section at Vaught-Hemmingway Stadium, which was masquerading as empty seats. All told, it was a leading indicator that the team and its fans were peaking ahead of Saturday’s showdown on the road against the Georgia Bulldogs. Georgia is not as dominant as its previous, recent editions and lacks the dynamic offense that the Rebels will bring to the field.

7:30 p.m. | Tennessee at Alabama | ABC
The Alabama Crimson Tide is catching plenty of attention from gamblers after ripping off five consecutive wins. Now, Alabama’s Week 1 loss at Florida State is a fading memory. However, the Crimson Tide must focus better this week for a home game against the Tennessee Volunteers. Tennessee brings plenty of offense, but its defense ranks among the worst in college football. Alabama QB Ty Simpson could have a big night in this one but the Alabama price is not cheap.
7:30 p.m. | USC at Notre Dame | NBC/Peacock
Last week, the USC Trojans demonstrated maturity in an impressive home win over the Michigan Wolverines, re-entering the Big Ten race. This week, USC must man up again with a road matchup against its ancient rivals, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Gamblers should take note that Notre Dame’s defense is a potential liability against USC’s prolific attack. USC is a team to watch in the weeks ahead.

Betting Rules & Policies
Free Play Rules
- Free plays cannot be used on proposition bets.
- Free Plays do not earn any BetPoints™
- Bets made using Free Plays do not count towards completing any rollovers. (Free Plays are always subject to a rollover of their own. You must complete the required rollover prior to making a withdrawal).
- The maximum payout for any Free Play is $5,000.
- Free Plays that are left unused for 180 days will be removed from your account.
ROLLOVER
- Did you know that on all deposits made at BookMaker, there is a rollover requirement: an amount of betting action you must fulfill before you are eligible to make a withdrawal.
- Did you know that rollovers are calculated by multiplying the amount initially credited to your account a certain number of times? Yes! If you deposit without claiming any bonus, the rollover will always be 1x (one-time) your deposit amount. If you do claim a deposit bonus, the rollover will be higher and is based on the deposit plus bonus amount.
Wager disputes (claims)
If you disagree with any aspect of a wager you’ve placed, you are welcome to log an official dispute (commonly known as a “claim”). Claims must be reported no later than 15 (fifteen) calendar days following the settlement of the wager.
If following an initial review of the case there remains any doubt regarding the wager type, line, market, amount, or any other detail, the claim will be escalated to the BookMaker management team. All decisions made by them are final.
Wager Cash Out - How it works
With the Cash Out feature you can choose to eliminate a wager that's already been placed, and receive back either a portion, or your full stake amount.
Cash Out is selectively available on certain events, fixtures, and markets.
In order to see if a wager is eligible to be cashed out, simply navigate to your Bet Slip and check the 'My Open Bets' tab. If eligible, the Cash Out button will be displayed.
It’s also important to note that Cash Out is not contributing to any bonus or promotion including Bet Point accumulation and Rollover for releasing bonus cash.
