Kentuckians are patiently awaiting the launch of online sports betting on Sept. 28, and BetMGM Kentucky is offering a bonus code ahead of this week's Eagles vs. Vikings Thursday Night Football game to get them started on the right foot. 

The BetMGM Kentucky bonus code PRESPORTSPICK offers $100 in bonus bets for new users, and Kentucky sports bettors can get started now by signing up and securing the bonus bets. 

The Thursday Night Football game between Philadelphia and Minnesota pits two quality NFC teams in a crucial matchup. The Vikings are looking to right the ship after a Week 1 loss, and the Eagles narrowly escaped with a victory on opening weekend. 

With online sports betting launching soon in Kentucky, here's how to secure the BetMGM Kentucky bonus PRESPORTSPICK ahead of Thursday Night Football. We also have a dedicated page for all Kentucky sportsbook promo codes.

How To Sign Up for BetMGM Kentucky Bonus Code

With the launch of Kentucky sports betting, bettors will finally get to enjoy the protections of the legal sports betting market. One of the leading names in the space is BetMGM, the online front of the famous MGM brand and hotel and casino in Vegas.

To procure the BetMGM Kentucky bonus code, just click on one of our BetMGM Kentucky bonus code links and get started. Just by using BetMGM Kentucky promo code PRESPORTSPICK, bettors will get $100 in bonus bets when sports betting in Kentucky officially launches. The BetMGM Sportsbook app is simple to use and makes the process easy to navigate.

New users must fill in all required information to create an account. This will include: 

  • Email address
  • Home address
  • Date of birth
  • ID verification
  • Last four digits of SSN

Once you sign up, sit back and wait until Sept. 28, when your $100 in bonus bets will arrive in your account. Be aware that bonus bets are different from cash — with a winning cash bet, you get the profit from your win and the original stake back. With a bonus bet, you only get the profit returned to you.

Vikings vs. Eagles Thursday Night Football Odds & Picks

Week 2 Thursday Night Football is shaping up to be a good one, with the Vikings needing a win after one of the bigger upsets of Week 1. Philly are 7-point favorites in their home opener, with a total of 48.5 at BetMGM.

With the way the Eagles stumbled offensively against the Patriots, this one is a get-right spot for both teams, even though Philly did win. The Eagles are trying to stave off a Super Bowl hangover, while the Vikings trying to stave off regression from last year’s 13-4 record.

The Eagles should be concerned with Jalen Hurts’ unexpectedly mediocre performance in Week 1. Hurts wasn't himself, coming in 21st among Week 1 QBs in dropback EPA and 24th in success rate. If the Eagles are going to bounce back this week in more dominant fashion as touchdown favorites, they’ll need Hurts to play better.

On the other side of the field, Kirk Cousins was 12th in EPA and 17th in success rate, but his boneheaded turnovers meant that a mostly good performance didn’t score a lot of points. If he can cut down on the errors, then Minnesota can have a chance at the upset. That said, the Eagles’ defense is incredibly good at exploiting mistakes, so if Cousins keeps making these mistakes, the Eagles will make them pay.

Best Bets for Eagles vs. Vikings Thursday Night Football

There are plenty of stars worth considering player prop bets on Thursday Night Football in a matchup that should have plenty of offense. Still, sticking with the most explosive offense is a solid play. 

  • Eagles (-7)
  • Over 48.5
