Episode Details

Two weeks of NFL preseason football are in the books, and it’s time to separate real warning signs from August noise.

On this episode of ⁠Madden On The Line⁠, host ⁠Jo Madden⁠, Vice President of Sports Gaming Media at ⁠CrossCheck Media Inc.⁠, is joined by sports betting expert and Pushing The Odds host ⁠Matt Perrault⁠ for a wide-ranging look at the NFL as Week 1 rapidly approaches.

The biggest debate starts in Cleveland. Deshaun Watson has been named the Browns’ Week 1 starter, but Matt explains why that may not end the quarterback controversy—and why a rough opening stretch could quickly put Shedeur Sanders into the conversation.

Matt also delivers some potentially profitable—and controversial—NFL futures calls. He likes the Arizona Cardinals under, sees value in the New England Patriots over 9.5 wins, and makes one of his boldest predictions by taking the Buffalo Bills under 11.5 wins.

Then comes an even bigger fade: Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Matt explains why he believes Kansas City is being overvalued, why he likes the Chiefs under 10.5 wins, and why he isn't buying another immediate Super Bowl run.

And when Jo asks him to make his Super Bowl prediction, Matt doesn't hesitate: Cincinnati Bengals vs. Los Angeles Rams—with the Rams winning it all.

Jo and Matt also tackle Cam Ward and Tennessee’s struggling offense, George Kittle’s return, preseason injuries, roster cuts, the dangers of betting NFL preseason Week 3, international expansion and whether preseason football itself could eventually disappear. Matt argues that joint practices are becoming increasingly important and believes preseason could be gone within the next decade as the NFL expands its regular season and international footprint.

Which NFL teams are being overrated? Which futures are worth targeting? And who actually has a path to the Super Bowl? Madden On The Line is putting the preseason hype on trial.
