Thursday Night Football has been an up-and-down adventure ride since its debut in 2006. Its novelty wore off quickly, as the schedule bounced around between broadcast outlets. There was a few-years stretch in which the matchups always seemed to be ugly football.
Sometimes, late-season matchups that looked great on paper – when the schedule first came out – ended up with two terrible teams.
At the moment, in late May, the quality of the 2025 Thursday Night Football schedule looks great. That are quite a few good divisional matchups, and others such as Commanders vs. Packers that will surely attract a lot of attention.
The season-opening contest in Thursday Night Football odds, between the Eagles and Cowboys, airs on NBC. Every other week, the matchup is on Amazon's Prime Video.
One thing for certain: With TNF on the schedule, Thursday mornings are a little better for sports bettors. It heralds the arrival of the NFL week, another chance to beat the house with all the sports betting tips you find on VegasInsider. No matter what matchups the schedule provides, there’s an angle you can find to cash some tickets.
Other Ways to Bet on Thursday Night Football
One wager that’s always exciting is which player will score the first touchdown of the game. There's usually only one contest on the schedule, though there are a few doubleheaders this season.
Still, there's not a bunch of games to bounce around to, which makes playing that first TD proposition more fun, especially when you cash.
Single-game parlays make up more of the action when there's only one game on TV. Props that correlate together, including who will score, number of receptions and yards rushing, can all be combined on one ticket, dramatically increasing the odds payoff if the parlay hits.
Of course, as with all parlays, if even one play loses, the entire ticket is trashed. Make sure to use our parlay calculator before placing your bets.
TNF Betting Tips
How many times have you seen someone lose their weekly contest because they never entered their pick for Thursday Night Football? Whether it’s a fantasy lineup, an ATS contest or just a pick 'em pool, sometimes life gets in the way of sports betting. Always get your plays locked and loaded early to begin the week.
Going blank on Thursday, the start of that week’s journey towards profitability, can blow up your entire weekend.
That said, you shouldn't let TNF – or any standalone game – make you feel as if you must make a bet. As with Monday Night Football odds, just because there’s a game on doesn’t mean you have to bet it. And if a good spot becomes available in-game, most books have enough live-action options that you can hop on then.
We’ve all seen a tale of two halves. These are games where each half has a completely different outcome. Maybe it’s 6-3 at the break, and both teams combine for 31 points in the second half. Or a team down double digits at halftime ends up winning the game by that much. Betting only the first or second half is a great way to minimize your investment and risk, in any Thursday Night Football game.
