Brandon Marshall won his ring at Super Bowl 50 as a linebacker playing for the Denver Broncos when they defeated the New England Patriots.
FOX5 KVVU-TV will partner with Emmy Award-winning production company Tupelo Media Group (formerly known as Tupelo Honey) to produce the weekly program. Gray owns both FOX5 KVVU and Tupelo Media Group. The show’s executive producers are FOX5 Vice President and General Manager, Michael Korr; Tupelo Media Group CEO, Cary Glotzer; and Tupelo Media Group CTO John Servizzi.
“BEAT THE ODDS showcases two of the most popular aspects of sports for the public: betting analysis and compelling storytelling,” said Korr.
“BEAT THE ODDS is a different type of sports betting show,” added Glotzer. “It will give sports bettors top-notch analysis and information, and it’ll be very entertaining, with features on sports history and how sports influence culture. It’s why we developed the show – to create a format that really engages sports and betting fans.”
