New Jersey has 7 licensed online operators (DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, Fanatics, ESPN BET and bet365), which means the same prop is priced differently depending on which book you open.
That spread is the whole game. A line that sits at -120 on one book and -110 on another is a real difference in value, and the only way to catch it is to compare across books in real time.

How to compare odds in a live for both online and retail betting state
Line shopping works the same in New Jersey as anywhere: pull up the same player prop on each licensed book and take the best number. New Jersey's setup (New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement) determines which books are even in play, so start with the licensed roster: DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, Fanatics, ESPN BET and bet365.
The catch is speed. Lines move fast, and by the time you have tabbed through four apps the number you wanted is gone. A live comparison board that shows every book's current price in one view closes that gap.
