Best SNF Matchups Based On Betting Odds
Week 13 49ers (-2) @ Bills
This game is a potential Super Bowl preview, and it's very rare to see Buffalo as a home underdog. Josh Allen will want to prove his doubters wrong, while Brock Purdy and the 49ers know that every game counts on the road to getting the NFC's No. 1 seed. Should be a great one.
Week 4 Bills @ Ravens (-3)
Two of the best quarterbacks in the league square off here, and you know Lamar Jackson loves to play in prime time. This game could go a long ways towards determining AFC playoff seeding, so it's vital for both teams.
Week 10 Lions @ Texans (-1)
With a spread of only a point, oddsmakers are expecting a close game. This one should also be high-scoring, as the Detroit Lions and Houston Texans will have their offenses ready to go against overmatched defenses.

Worst SNF Matchups Based On Betting Odds
Week 6 Bengals (-4.5) @ Giants
Sorry New York Giants, fans. New York is a massive media market, but the Giants just haven't been interesting to watch in recent years. If their defense can't slow down Joe Burrow & Co., it could be a long evening.
Week 14 Chargers @ Chiefs (-6.5)
These teams usually play close games, and Justin Herbert has always played well against Patrick Mahomes, but Los Angeles could be outmatched this season -- especially if Herbert isn't fully healthy.
Week 15 Packers (-1) @ Seahawks
This could be a good matchup based on the spread, but there aren't the big-name players on these teams that other Sunday Night Football matchups enjoy.

Sunday Night Football Live Betting
The fun thing about live betting a Sunday Night Football game is that there is always an opportunity to get in on the action. The more time that passes in a SNF game, the more information you have as a bettor about how the rest of the game may finish. While you may pay more of a price with an in-game wager, it's well worth it to make those wagers -- especially if there are weather concerns or an important player is injured.
Bet the SNF Moneyline
The nice thing about live betting a Sunday Night Football game is that there is always an opportunity to get in on the action, and it's the only game going on so bettors can focus. The more time that passes in a SNF 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 SNF 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 49ers are 5.5-point favorites against the Cowboys, San Francisco needs to win by 6 points or more to cover the spread. If the 49ers won 24-20, they would have won on the moneyline, but not covered the spread in that game.

Historical Sunday Night Football Trends
Sunday night games have their own complexities similar to Thursday and Monday Night Games. The biggest difference is games being played under the bright lights instead of a 1:00 PM start time.
SNF Betting Tips
Just like Monday Night Football is unique in its status as an island game, Sunday Night Football is a different handicapping process for bettors. The players will be playing later than they are used to and will potentially have different travel than usual.
There are a lot of important betting tips to remember before wagering on a SNF 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, and it's always important to consider what point during the season the game is being played.
Always 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 a little extra time to recover for a SNF game. Be sure to check the injury report consistently to see how important players are progressing throughout the week, as the extra few hours can be the difference between starting and being out.
Do your research
Sunday Night Football is a little 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, how well the coach/QB play in primetime, etc.
Consider the motivation of the teams
With most of the Sunday night matchups between two good teams, motivation likely won't be as big a factor as on Monday Night Football late in the season, but it can still have an impact.
How To Watch Sunday Night Football in 2024
Most Sunday Night Football games this season will be played at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. You can watch from any streaming device or a TV that has NBC in its cable bundle. Mike Tirico and Chris Collinsworth will be announcing most games.
