Other ways to bet on Monday Night Football
Beyond the options we went over above, here are some of the other top ways of how to bet on football and MNF:
- Single-game parlays: This type of bet has exploded in popularity recently. With SGPs, you can put together multi-leg wagers for a single contest. As an example, you could pick the outright winner of Monday Night Football, and then tie it together with some props. To win, you have to get all of your picks right.
- Live football betting: This is real-time football odds based on what’s happening in the game. As Monday Night Football plays out, you’ll see a host of different options, such as new props, odds on halves and quarters, and spreads or totals based on the current situation on the field.
- Alternate lines: Thanks to alternate lines, you can go beyond the main spreads and totals to find the numbers that you like best. The odds will shift based on how far away from the main lines you go, so these are options for when you’re looking for a little more safety or to take on some extra risk.
Outside of the doubleheader in Week 2 this season, MNF is a standalone game. However, you can also still use the game as part of a parlay for that week’s NFL games if you wish.
