If you’re looking for an edge in your NFL betting, don’t shy away from betting on Thursday night games. The data suggests that these games are just as likely to produce winners and losers as games played on other nights of the week. People bet on Thursday Night Football Games because they are televised games. The NFL Network has made them a “must watch” event. But the games are not must wins or losses.

The numbers for Thursday night games in week 1 are pretty compelling: Home teams are a massive 15-3 SU and an impressive 11-3-4 ATS. Favorites are 13-5 SU/10-4-4 ATS...
Who the hell likes football on Thursday nights? Not coaches or players, who must fear that turnovers and injuries on a shortened week of practice. Not fans who are just as often treated to a mistake-ridden slogfest or a blowout as a watchable game. NFLbets dares say that perhaps not even the paraphernalia creators dig on the NFL Network’s TNF games as much as previously, because clearly NFL Marketing is taking a bath on the exclusive “Color Rush” jerseys. Seriously, who like those things?
The Thursday Night Football games – broadcasts, beginning in 2018, on Fox! – also have a bad reputation among NFL bettors as tough to call. One would expect more variance in these games, of course, given the aforementioned short week and the amplified issues with East Coasts-to-West Coast travel.
But is there really more variance in Thursday Night Football games? In theory, there should be – but is that reflected in the betting markets?
To answer that question, we took a look at the results of all games played on Thursday nights since the NFL started airing them on its own network in 2006. We then compared the results to all games played on Sunday and Monday nights during the same period.
The results of our analysis were surprising. We found that there was no statistically significant difference in the results of games played on Thursday, Sunday and Monday nights.
This means that, on average, there is no greater chance of a team winning or losing a game on Thursday night than there is on Sunday or Monday night.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that every game is a toss-up. There is still likely to be more variance in games played on Thursday night, due to the shortened week of preparation. But overall, the results of our analysis suggest that betting on Thursday night games is no more risky than betting on games played on other nights of the week.
So if you’re looking for an edge in your NFL betting, don’t shy away from betting on Thursday night games. The data suggests that these games are just as likely to produce winners and losers as games played on other nights of the week.
Now that you know that Thursday night games are just as risky as other NFL games, it’s time to start looking at the betting odds and betting trends for the upcoming slate of games.
