Thursday Night Football the new Monday Night Football…Sort of
It used to be that NFL football action meant Sunday afternoons. And the games strayed into Monday Nights as well. And then into Sunday nights. But the evolution of the league hasn’t stopped there and now we have games on Saturday nights late in the season and there’s now even multiple options for week night NFL action thanks to the Thursday games.
No longer does Monday Night football betting dominate the week night wagering line up. In fact, the Monday Night football odds have been gradually losing their hold over the football betting public over the past few years and it’s no longer the grand event it once was.
Sunday night football has taken a big chunk of wind out Monday Night football betting’s steam. The reason being that the League now gives the marquee match ups that used to go to Monday night to Sunday night instead due to better viewership. And as if that weren’t enough the second half of the NFL season now features games on Thursday nights.
For Monday Night football it’s not all that great, but for football fans it couldn’t be any sweater. No more is NFL football relegated to one single day of the calendar. Instead of gorging ourselves to crazy levels of depravity one day a week, we can now savor the football betting action spread across three days a week, instead of one glutinous feast.
Plus, Monday Night football will always hold a special place in the hearts and minds of football fans. As awful as Monday’s are, the only redeeming quality is that there is a football game at the end of the day.
