Jo Madden⁠ is drawing a line in the sand: she isn't putting her money on Deshaun Watson.

In this ⁠Madden On The Line⁠ short, Jo Madden, Vice President of Sports Gaming Media at ⁠CrossCheck Media Inc.⁠, breaks down Cleveland Browns vs. New York Jets and explains why she's staying away from Cleveland despite the Browns getting only 2.5 points.

Jo's message is unmistakable: she doesn't trust Watson enough to bet the Browns.

So where does she see value?

Her favorite player-prop angle is Garrett Wilson anytime touchdown at +140. With the Jets at home and their defense playing well, Jo believes Wilson has a legitimate opportunity to find the end zone even in a game carrying one of the week's lowest totals.

She's more cautious about laying Jets -2.5, however, and sees another potential angle in the under 39.5—or waiting for an opportunity to attack the total live.

Browns or Jets? Jo has made her choice. But her favorite bet might not be the spread at all.

Jacksonville favored by 7.5 points over Philadelphia? Jo Madden never expected to see this line.

In this ⁠Madden On The Line⁠ short, ⁠Jo Madden⁠, Vice President of Sports Gaming Media at ⁠CrossCheck Media Inc.⁠, breaks down the surprising Eagles-Jaguars London matchup and explains why Philadelphia's injuries, late travel and early-season struggles have dramatically changed the betting market.

Jacksonville has been the more reliable team against the spread, while Philadelphia enters London with major questions surrounding its roster. But Jo isn't automatically laying more than a touchdown with the Jaguars.

Instead, she's targeting Jalen Hurts under 6.5 rushing attempts.

Hurts remains dangerous whenever he takes off, but Jo points to the reduced number of designed runs and explains why she's targeting his attempts rather than rushing yards.

And if Philadelphia gets healthier before kickoff? Jo says Eagles +7.5 could become very interesting—if bettors can still get the number.

Jaguars -7.5 against the Eagles sounds crazy. But is the market actually telling us something?

The Cowboys are favored by 8.5 points against Tampa Bay—but Jo Madden wants nothing to do with that spread. In this ⁠Madden On The Line⁠ short, ⁠Jo Madden⁠, Vice President of Sports Gaming Media at ⁠CrossCheck Media Inc.⁠, breaks down Buccaneers vs. Cowboys on Thursday Night Football and explains why she believes there are much better ways to attack the matchup. Instead of laying the points with Dallas, Jo targets the player-prop market. She likes Daniels over 46.5 rushing yards, believes Bucky Irving can clear 68.5 rushing and receiving yards, and sees opportunities on the Cowboys side with Dak Prescott over 263.5 passing yards and 2.5 passing touchdowns. And what about CeeDee Lamb? Jo warns that sportsbooks have already inflated some of his numbers after his huge performance—but she still sees an opportunity for a 30+ yard reception against Tampa Bay's defense. Jo also explains why she likes Tampa Bay's first-half team total over 9.5 and why waiting to live-bet Dallas could produce a much better number than simply laying 8.5 before kickoff. Dallas may win big. But that doesn't mean Cowboys -8.5 is the bet. 🔗 Website: https://biztalktodaytv.com 📧 Contact on Email: support@biztalktodaytv.com 📢 Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed on this program are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of CrossCheck Media Inc., Biz Talk Today TV (BTT), or their affiliated entities and distribution partners.
