Sunday Night Football Preview: Wildcard Weekend
The Chargers enter this game as a slight underdog. Justin Herbert has never won a playoff game. On the other side, Drake Maye has taken the Patriots to the playoffs in his second season in the NFL. Herbert will be under immense pressure to change that narrative on the road in one of the league’s toughest environments. Meanwhile, Maye has quickly built a reputation for poise beyond his years, guiding New England through the regular season with confidence. The contrast between Herbert’s urgency and Maye’s rapid rise adds another compelling layer to this postseason matchup.

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 2025
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.
