Sunday Night Football - The Big Picture!

Since NBC took over SNF in 2006, 13 of 14 AFC Super Bowl representatives played a SNF game by November. All 14 AFC Super Bowl representatives have played a SNF game by Nov 20th.

This was quite the historical Sunday night football angle and one that's going to be extremely tough to keep up. There are only four AFC teams involved in SNF games before November 1st, and six involved before November 20th.

New England plays two SNF games before November 20th, visiting Seattle in Week 2 and hosting Baltimore on November 15th. The Patriots are expected to take a major step back now that Tom Brady's gone, and very well could. The AFC East is still rather soft as a whole – even the entire betting world suggests Buffalo to win that division in 2020.

Teams to Watch on Sunday Night Football

Houston and Kansas City open up the season as two AFC teams playing here prior to the end of October. One is the defending champ, and the other is a playoff team that has the potential to make a lot of noise.

Futures plays on Kansas City, Baltimore, Houston or New England aren't exactly out of left field for this year. But the final team that qualifies here would probably be considered to be the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Raiders host Brady and Tampa Bay in a non-conference SNF game on October 25th. The Raiders making a run to the Super Bowl would be quite surprising, but historically they qualify in this trend. Las Vegas saw their hockey team make the Final in their first year, can the Raiders duplicate that feat?

The first two months of SNF are heavily skewed towards NFC teams being involved. However, NFC squads playing Sunday Night pre-November 1st and making the Super Bowl isn't nearly as good (about 50%). Stick to AFC-type futures if putting sizable weight to this past.

Sunday Night Divisional Games - Inside the Numbers

2020 SNF Divisional Matchups
WeekMatchupLine/Total
6L.A. Rams at San Francisco49ers -6
8Dallas at PhiladelphiaEagles -3
9New Orleans at Tampa BayBuccaneers -1
11Kansas City at Las VegasChiefs -7.5
12Chicago at Green BayPackers -3
13Denver at Kansas CityChiefs -10.5

The 2020 season gives us six different divisional matchups, and all should be good ones, at least on paper. The first isn't until Rams/49ers on October 18th. But that game and the rest of the Sunday Night divisional contests are done by December 6th if nothing gets moved. Those are a lot of betting opportunities to potentially take advantage of with historical trends like...

Road favorites in SNF divisional games are 10-5 ATS overall the past seven years, and are 6-1 ATS when laying -5 or more

Of the seven division SNF games, only a couple can project to see a road favorite of -5. Kansas City visiting Las Vegas on November 22 has that potential, as does the Thanksgiving nightcap between Baltimore and Pittsburgh.

Road favorites could be had in games like Saints/Buccaneers, and Cowboys/Eagles, but more information and results are likely needed there. If games are played without fans this season, home field edge has to be decreased, meaning we may see runs like this continue for visiting squads.

For totals bettors, road favorites in SNF divisional games have gone 9-6 O/U these past seven years.

SNF divisional games with a total set below 44 have seen the road team go 11-3 ATS with a 9-5 O/U record

Totals under 44 are less and less common these days. There wasn't even a SNF game from the 2019 season that qualified in this subset of games. However, there are at least some potential division games this year where this may come into play.

Non-Conference Action on Sunday Night Football

2020 SNF Non-Conference Matchups
WeekMatchupLine
2New England at SeattleSeahawks -3.5
7Tampa Bay at Las VegasBuccaneers -2
16Tennessee at Green BayPackers -2.5

SNF games between non-conference teams is becoming more and more rare these days. Three games are scheduled, although the last is Titans/Packers in Week 16 that will likely get flexed out. The other two non-conference games will be played before November and can have the following applied to them if applicable.

SNF non-conference games over the past seven years that have closed with a total between 44.5 and 47.5 are 0-7 O/U

This was quite the specific rarity when going through Sunday night football angles. Conventional wisdom is these totals in this “general” range would have coin flip-like results where they would nearly be even. That just hasn't been the case though these past handful of seasons. It's not like the Patriots/Seahawks and Buccaneers/Raiders games don't have a good chance to see totals somewhere near this range.

SNF non-conference games over the past seven years that have closed with a total in the 50's are 1-4 O/U overall

This is like the complete flip of this role when it's on Monday Night Football as non-conference games are a perfect 6-0 O/U. Put these projected high scoring matchups on SNF though and the scoring seemingly dries up. Only one of those five games saw both teams score more than 17 points.

If Patriots/Seahawks and Buccaneers/Raiders games don't have totals in the 44.5 to 47.5 range for a perfect system on the 'under,' and close much higher as in the 50's, the 'under' angle appears to be just as strong. And speaking of totals in the 50's for SNF non-conference games, it brings me to this last point that...

SNF non-conference games over the past seven years that have closed with a total in the 50's have seen the home team go a perfect 5-0 ATS

It hasn't mattered what role these home sides have had regarding underdog or favorite. It is 3-2 in terms of underdog to favorite split in those games, but the key is with the side.

Those five home teams have all won the game outright. That's three underdog outright wins – and the average margin of victory has been 14 points per game. All five wins have been by at least a touchdown, and chances are the books will need at least one of the two teams this year to stay on this course.

Given all the hype Tampa's got for signing a 43-year old QB, the visiting Buccaneers are likely to be the highly public side for that October trip to Las Vegas.

The weekly NFL schedule is filled with appealing matchups, but fans know where to look for the marquee game of the week: Sunday Night Football.

Sunday Night Football is reserved for teams poised to make some noise in the coming (or ongoing) NFL season. Later in the year, the flex policy to move big games in or out of the Sunday Night line-up helps to insure that’s still the case.

Who’s Playing Sunday Night Football this week?

When the NFL works on putting together the massive schedule each year, particular care is given to the Sunday Night Football time slot. SNF is filled with playoff teams from the prior season and those who look to be on the rise for the coming year.

Later in the year, matchups that suddenly aren’t so intriguing can be swapped out via the flex policy. A more appealing game is moved in its place, while the original contest goes to the Sunday afternoon window.

Here’s what the 2020 Sunday Night Football schedule looks like.

Week 1: Sept. 13

Los Angeles Rams 20 Dallas Cowboys 17

The SNF slate kicked off with an entertaining game between a pair of top NFC teams. The Cowboys looked poised for a potential Super Bowl run to begin the year but were surprised by the Rams, who look good to return to the postseason after missing out last year.

Week 2: Sept. 20

Seattle Seahawks 35 New England Patriots 30

CenturyLink Field lit up for this primetime affair between two top squads. Week 2 of the post-Brady era in New England looked promising with Cam Newton throwing for 297 yards but Russell Wilson continued to put his stamp on the 2020 season with 5 TD passes.

Week 3: Sept. 27

Green Bay Packers 37 New Orleans Saints 30

The NFC is shaping up to be super-competitive this season, so this one will have big ramifications down the road. The latest duel between Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees went to Rodgers in a back-and-forth battle. The Packers remain undefeated so far in 2020 while the Saints dropped to 1-2.

Week 4: Oct. 4

Philadelphia Eagles 25 San Francisco 49ers 20

Another pivotal NFC matchup took center stage as the first month of the regular season wrapped. The Eagles surprised the 49ers, looking to make it back to the Super Bowl for the second year in a row, with their first win of the season. Struggling QB Carson Wentz threw a key 4th quarter TD and Alex Singleton returned an INT for a TD to make the difference.

Week 5: Oct. 11

Seattle Seahawks 27 Minnesota Vikings 26

The talented Vikings seemed primed to turn their season around with an early advantage against the Seahawks but Russell Wilson led an inspired comeback capped by a last-second TD throw to escape with the win. An entertaining game was expected and the two squads delivered in spades.

Week 6: Oct. 18

San Francisco 49ers 24 Los Angeles Rams 16

The NFC West has evolved into one of the toughest divisions in the NFL and took center stage with this primetime tilt from the West Coast. The meeting of the last two NFC teams to reach the Super Bowl surprised as Jimmy Garopp0lo got the Niners off to a 21-6 halftime lead and the 49ers bounced back to .500 with a solid win over Jared Goff and the Rams.

Week 7: Oct. 25

Arizona Cardinals 37 Seattle Seahawks 34

The previously undefeated Seahawks rolled into Arizona high on confidence and with a well-earned reputation for pulling out strange games in the 4th quarter but Kyler Murray and the Cards turned the tables. MVP favorite Russell Wilson threw three picks and Murray rallied the Cards in the 4th and OT with three scoring drives.

Week 8: Nov. 1

Philadelphia Eagles 23 Dallas Cowboys 9

However uninspiring both teams have been this year, the NFC East will likely come down to these two clubs. So even with their poor records and Dak Prescott‘s injury, this matchup between Cowboys and Eagles had lots at stake. In the end the Eagles and Carson Wentz did just enough in the second half to secure the big win and move 1.5 games ahead of Dallas in the NFC East.

Week 9: Nov. 8

New Orleans Saints 38 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3

Odds

Hoo boy. Brady and Brees don’t cross paths too often, so this one had the potential to be special. It was a blowout by halftime (31-0!) and ended up as the worst loss (points-wise) of Tom Brady’s career. Eep. Drew Brees and the Saints made it clear they’re still the big dog in the NFC South with 5 straight wins against the Bucs.

Week 10: Nov. 15

New England Patriots 23 Baltimore Ravens 17

Surprise, surprise. The 6-2 Ravens came in the decided favorite versus the middling Pats but the defence locked down Lamar Jackson and Cam Newton delivered a couple of timely scores to pull out the victory. At 4-5 the Pats are suddenly back in the AFC playoff race.

Week 11: Nov. 22

Kansas City Chiefs 35 Las Vegas Raiders 31

The defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs got their revenge on the AFC West rival Raiders, who earlier in the season handed the Chiefs their only loss so far. Patrick Mahomes delivered again under the primetime lights, hitting Travis Kelce with a TD pass with under 30 seconds left to clinch the win.

Week 12: Nov. 29

Green Bay Packers 41 Chicago Bears 25

On the Sunday Night after Thanksgiving, the NFL’s most historic rivalry took center stage and … it wasn’t close. The Bears and Packers have hooked up for many memorable affairs through the years but this wasn’t one of them. QB Mitch Trubisky returned for his first action since Week 3 and turned the ball over three times. Aaron Rodgers and the Pack are now 8-3 and headed to the playoffs; the Bears have lost five straight since a 5-1 start.

Week 13: Dec. 6

Kansas City Chiefs 22 Denver Broncos 16

The Chiefs are well on their way to another AFC West crown, but the Broncos held their own in a matchup that ended up much closer than expected. After losing to the Chiefs by 27 in Week 7 the Broncos redeemed themselves somewhat with a better effort but still couldn’t overcome the combined power of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce once again.

Week 14: Dec. 13

Buffalo Bills 25 Pittsburgh Steelers 16

The AFC Playoff race has been intriguing this season with these two teams right in the thick of it. The Steelers stormed out to a perfect 11-0 start only to hit the skids the past two weeks, including against the Bills on Sunday night. The Bills have shown that they’ve officially arrived as contenders all season and did so convincingly again against the Steelers.

Week 15: Dec. 20

Dallas Cowboys 41 San Francisco 49ers 33

These long-time rivals have many NFC crowns between them, and both hoped to add to the resume in 2020 before stumbling. The 49ers and Cowboys still locked horns at Jerry World for what was a heated test for both sides with the Cowboys prevailing.

Week 16: Dec. 27

Vegas Football Odds

Green Bay Packers 40 Tennessee Titans 17

An interesting inter-conference affair got the spotlight as a lengthy holiday weekend wrapped up but the game wasn’t much of a contest. The Titans and Packers both reached the title game in their respective conferences last season but it looks like the Packers are the only team with a chance to repeat the feat in 2020.

Week 17: Jan. 3

Washington Football Team 20 Philadelphia Eagles 14

The NFL always makes sure that the last game of the season has some kind of bearing on the playoff picture, so it was the deciding game of the NFC East that aired to end the 2020 regular season. In a down year for the NFC East the Washington Football Team needed a win to clinch the division and they got it over the struggling Eagles.

Sunday Night Football Betting

Sunday Night Football is a featured attraction at online and mobile sportsbooks. You’ll have a full range of wagering opportunities to consider, including:

  • Moneyline bets: Pick the winner.

  • Totals (over/under) bets: Make your Over/Under call on the total points scored.
  • Prop Bets: Side bets on the game, many of which involve player performance.

Keep your eyes peeled for promotions surrounding SNF, such as special prop bet offers or odds boosts on the outcome.

Here’s an interesting way to get some extra bang for the buck: You can place a bet on the side and total at the same time, usually at positive odds. Known as a double or same-game parlay depending on the operator, you can find it among the “more wagers” option.

Sunday Night Football Betting Trends & Tips

Historically, home favorites have been the safer bet in NFL primetime games, but this can vary on a season-to-season basis. This is especially true when we’re talking about moneyline versus point spread, so there’s unfortunately no hard and fast rule to lean on.

However, that doesn’t mean we’re completely out of luck when hunting for an edge. Here’s a handful of factors that could impact the proceedings.

  • Home/Road Splits: Teams that crush it at home should do the same when the lights are the brightest, while it’s unlikely that those that don’t travel well will turn it around all of a sudden.
  • Travel: Speaking of travel, know what’s what for both sides. Has either side been logging a lot of air miles lately? Teams wrapping up a lengthy road trip with a late game may have their eyes on the exits.
  • Primetime Performance: Some players and teams love the spotlight and don’t let it impact performance, while others can be thrown off kilter by games that deviate from the norm. Spend some time reviewing team performance in night games.

Sunday Night Football All-Time Records

Since 2006, SNF has made its home on NBC. A featured attraction of the NFL week, we have seen dozens of great games and impressive individual performances underneath the bright primetime lights. Here are some notable facts and figures to consider.

  • Team with most appearances: Dallas Cowboys, 45
  • Team with fewest appearances: Jacksonville Jaguars, 1
  • Highest scoring game: 83 points – twice: Eagles at Giants in 2009 and Chiefs at Patriots in 2018.
  • Lowest scoring game: 12 points – Seahawks at Cardinals in 2016
  • Inter-conference matchups: AFC leads NFC 18-14

How to Watch Sunday Night Football

NBC is the exclusive broadcast home for NFL Sunday Night Football. The primetime game has been in the network family since 2006 when NBC took over its coverage from ESPN.

SNF is generally viewed as the marquee game of the NFL week, and league schedule makers do their best to ensure that’s the case. Upon the initial release of the schedule, the Sunday Night Football slot is filled with appealing matchups.

As the season moves along, games that looked great in advance of the season may suddenly not be so appealing. However, there’s an escape hatch for NBC in the form of flex scheduling.

This means that a game can be bumped up from the afternoon slate while the originally scheduled contest swaps places. It’s done to make sure that there’s a compelling game in the premiere broadcast window for the league.

The flex policy becomes all the more important when Week 17 rolls around. SNF serves as the final game of the regular season, so the NFL does its best to make sure the game has playoff implications.

How to Stream Sunday Night Football Live

NBC is one of the big four broadcast networks. As a result, it’s a staple of various cable, satellite, and cord cutting packages. The network has a vast reach and affiliates in multiple states, so the feed can be picked up with an HD antenna in multiple areas as well.

Streaming coverage is provided by the network for both online and mobile consumers. The former can visit NBCSports.com, while the NBC Sports App is where you can find coverage of the game on the go. The Yahoo Sports app also has a feed for NFL primetime games.
