SNF betting tips
From Jason Logan, Covers Senior Industry Analyst
Experience matters
Considered the marquee matchup on Sunday, being the only true standalone game, sometimes the bright lines can be overwhelming for young players an coaches. Give the benefit of the doubt to veteran coaches and staff/players with experience, who are grounded in their game prep and are less likely to get caught up in the hoopla on Sunday night.
Home-field frenzy
Any NFL Sunday leads to raucous home crowds, but home-field advantage gets an extra boost for the prime-time affair. The home crowd has been tailgating all day, rather than the usual (a.k.a. shorter) partying that comes with a 1 p.m. or 4 p.m. ET kickoff. That ravenous crowd is then released into the stadium, giving the home hospitality a little extra bite.
The temperature drops quick
Sunday night games can also be an advantage for cold-weather teams once the calendar hits December and January. Temperatures dip when the sun goes down and places like Green Bay and Buffalo can turn into frozen wastelands. And yes, the chilly temps impact both sides, but visitors from warmer cities or indoor stadiums may struggle to adapt when the mercury drops.
