Kentucky BetMGM bonus code ALBONUS: Louisville vs. USC Holiday Bowl preview, best BetMGM promotions

Since opening as an eight-point favorite, Louisville finds itself now favored by a touchdown on most Kentucky sportsbooks.

The Cardinals will be without two of their top offensive threats in lead running back Jawhar Jordan and top wide receiver Jamari Thrash, who are each forgoing the Holiday Bowl to prep for the NFL Draft. Starting quarterback Jack Plummer will play after throwing for over 3,000 yards and 21 touchdowns in 2023.

2022 Heisman Trophy-winning QB Caleb Williams won’t play for USC, nor will back-up quarterback Malachi Nelson, who entered the transfer portal.

Kickoff at PetCo Park is set for 7 p.m. CT Wednesday on ESPN.

Once you’ve claimed your $1,500 bonus with the BetMGM bonus code ALBONUS, you can take advantage of these ongoing BetMGM promotions.
