Best MNF Matchups Based On Betting Odds
Week 2 Atlanta Falcons @ Philadelphia Eagles (-3.5)
The Eagles started strong last season, led by Jalen Hurts, and raced out to a 10-1 record ... only to fall apart down the stretch and lose in the wild-card game. The Falcons went 7-10 last season with terrible QB play and both signed Kirk Cousins and drafted Michael Penix Jr. to shore up the position. This will be a good early-season test for them.
Week 15: Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings (-1)
At this point in the season, it's likely that Vikings first-round pick J.J. McCarthy will be starting. Will he be attempting to make a playoff push, or gain valuable experience for a bad Minnesota team? Caleb Williams should be exciting to watch every game he's in.
Week 11 Houston Texans at Dallas Cowboys (-3)
These two Texas teams don't get to play very often and the little brother in the matchup may even have the better team this season. C.J. Stroud (Texans) looks to lay claim as the better quarterback against Cowboys QB Dak Prescott.
Worst MNF Matchups Based On Betting Odds
Week 3: Tennessee Titans at Miami Dolphins (-6.5)
With one of the highest spreads among all Monday Night Football games this season, nothing screams excitement about this matchup except maybe Tyreek Hill going back up against L'Jarius Sneed.
Week 10: New Orleans Saints at Kansas City Chiefs (-8)
The Saints aren't a very exciting team, and the Chiefs don't lose many games at home. This is still early enough in the season that Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City team will likely need a win, so it has blowout written all over it.
Week 16: Atlanta Falcons (-1) at Las Vegas Raiders
The Falcons haven't been a very interesting team, although that could change with the offseason addition of Kirk Cousins. And the Raiders? Well, they play in Las Vegas, but that's about all this team may have going for it at this point in the season. It would be surprising if this is a great game.
How To Bet On Monday Night Football Odds
There are a variety of different types of bets that bettors can make on Monday Night Football, from moneyline wagers to prop bets to spread to over/unders.

Monday Night Football Live Betting
The great thing about live betting a Monday Night Football game is that there is always an opportunity to get in on the action. The more time that passes in a MNF game, the more information you have as a bettor about how the rest of the game could potentially play out. While you may pay more of a vig with an in-game wager, it's well worth it to make those wagers -- especially if there are weather concerns or a player gets injured that isn't fully reflected in the odds.
Bet the MNF Moneyline
The moneyline wager is the simplest wager that you can make on a Monday Night Football game when betting, as you're simply picking the team to win the game. For the team that is favored, you'll win less money (because they're expected to win), but there can be good money to be made on betting a underdog to win outright at a plus-money price.
Bet the MNF Spread
Oddsmakers assign point spreads to each team in a game, which allows bettors the ability to wager on the final outcome -- not just which team wins or loses, but by how much. For example, if the Chiefs are 8-point favorites against the Saints, Kansas City needs to win by 9 points or more to cover the spread. If the Chiefs won 27-20, they would have won on the moneyline, but not covered the spread in that game.

Historical MNF Betting Trends
Just like Thursday Night Football is unique, Monday Night Football is a different handicapping process for bettors. The players will have an extra day of rest and preparation heading into the game, and that can mitigate the impact of travel as well.
MNF Betting Tips
There are a lot of important betting tips to remember before wagering on a MNF game, and it's vital to remember that it's different than a normal game. Some players or coaches are better in primetime than others, there is more time to recover from injuries and always consider what point during the season the game is being played.
Do research
Monday Night Football is a different handicap from the rest of the week's games. Bettors need to know when/where teams played the prior week, if there are injuries, the team is coming off a bye, etc.
Check the injury report
Unlike Thursday Night Football where an injury to a player the previous Sunday may result in him not playing, players have extra time to recover for a MNF game. Be sure to check the injury report consistently to see how important players are progressing throughout the week.
Consider when the game is being played
Late in the season, some teams have more motivation to win than others. And in regards to betting, teams are certainly not going to care about covering the spread. A Week 16 matchup between the Saints and Packers (-5) may not matter if Green Bay is running away with the division or vice-versa if the Saints have clinched the NFC South and can't improve seeding. Always be sure to know what's at stake for both teams later in the season.
