Week 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19, Dallas Cowboys 3
It was expected to be a shootout in Dallas, but the game went in an entirely different direction. Tampa Bay easily covered as 2.5-point favorites, while the total went well under the 49.5-point bar. Tom Brady threw for a single score in the game, while Dak Prescott exited in the fourth quarter with a hand injury.
Week 2: Green Bay Packers 27, Chicago Bears 10
After a disappointing opening-week loss, the Packers got it together on SNF. The club pulled out to a 24-7 lead at the half and didn’t look back. Green Bay won by a score of 27-10 behind a pair of TD passes from Aaron Rodgers, easily covering as 10.5-point favorites with the total sailing under the 42-point bar.
Week 3: Denver Broncos 11, San Francisco 49ers 10
Jimmy Garoppolo led a 75-yard scoring drive to give the 49ers a 7-0 lead. That would prove to be one of the biggest highlights of a defensive-minded affair, with the Broncos pulling out a late win on a Melvin Gordon one-yard score. San Francisco failed to cover as a 1.5-point favorite, while the total went very far under the 45-point bar.
Week 4: Kansas City Chiefs 41, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31
In a meeting of two expected Super Bowl contenders, the Chiefs were the ones that looked the part. Kansas City shined against the normally stout Tampa Bay defense, as the Chiefs cruised to a 10-point win. Patrick Mahomes threw for 349 yards, three TDs and one pick. The Chiefs covered as two-point favorites, with the total going over the 47-point line.
Week 5: Baltimore Ravens 19, Cincinnati Bengals 17
It was expected to be a tight battle between the AFC North rivals, and that’s exactly what developed. Justin Tucker closed things out with a 43-yard game-winning field goal as time expired. Baltimore failed to cover as a three-point home favorite, while the under was the correct call on the 47.5-point total.
Week 6: Philadelphia Eagles 26, Dallas Cowboys 17
It was a heavyweight showdown between two NFC East powers. The Eagles raced out to a 20-3 lead at the half, but the Cowboys made things interesting from there before coming up short as Jalen Hurts sealed the deal by leading a late TD drive. Philadelphia covered as a seven-point home favorite, with the total just creeping over the 42.5-point line.
Week 7: Miami Dolphins 16, Pittsburgh Steelers 10
For the first half, the Dolphins completely controlled the action to get out to a 13-0 halftime lead.

Pittsburgh got the cover as a seven-point road dog, with the total going under the 44.5-point bar.
Week 8: Buffalo Bills 27, Green Bay Packers 17
The Bills walked onto the home field and dominated the action while getting out to a 24-7 halftime lead. However, the Packers put some garbage-time points on the board to cover the 10.5-point spread in a 27-17 defeat. The under was the correct call on the game-time line of 47 points.
Week 9: Kansas City Chiefs 20, Tennessee Titans 17 (OT)
The Chiefs walked onto the field as huge favorites, but the Titans took control of the game and went into the fourth quarter with a 17-9 lead. Patrick Mahomes and the offense came to life and worked their magic to escape with a field-goal victory. Tennessee covered as a 14-point dog, while under was the correct call on the 45-point total.
Week 10: San Francisco 49ers 22, Los Angeles Chargers 16
The Chargers were eight-point underdogs heading into San Francisco. They managed to take control of the game early and entered halftime with a 16-10 lead.

Week 11: Kansas City Chiefs 30, Los Angeles Chargers 27

Week 12: Philadelphia Eagles 40, Green Bay Packers 33
The Packers visited Philadelphia as pretty sizable underdogs, but they quickly demonstrated that they would be anything but pushovers while battling to a 14-13 lead at the end of the first quarter. The clubs went back and forth the rest of the way, but the Eagles would prove to be too much for Green Bay to handle. Philadelphia just hit the cover as 6.5-point favorites, while the total was well over the 46-point benchmark.
Week 13: Dallas Cowboys 54, Indianapolis Colts 19
Through three quarters of play, this was actually a competitive game. Dallas held a 21-19 lead heading into the fourth quarter. For the final frame, however, the Cowboys exploded for 33 points to exit with a convincing 35-point victory, easily covering as 11-point home favorites. The over/under for the game was 44.5 points. Dallas managed to clear the bar on its own.
Week 14: Los Angeles Chargers 23, Miami Dolphins 17
The Chargers held a 17-7 halftime lead for this highly anticipated AFC battle. The Dolphins battled back after the break to make it interesting, but Los Angeles managed to hang on for a six-point home win. Miami failed to cover as a field goal favorite. The scoring was much lighter than expected, as the game time over/under was a whopping 55 points.
Week 15: New York Giants 20, Washington Commanders 12
The Giants traveled to take on the Commanders in a meeting of two NFC East clubs that are in the thick of the wild card hunt. New York got out to a 14-3 halftime lead and was able to hang on after the break for an eight-point victory. Saquon Barkley rushed for 87 yards and a score in the win. The Giants covered as a four-point road dog with the total going under the 40-point line.
Week 16: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19, Arizona Cardinals 16 (OT)
The Buccaneers were 7.5-point favorites for the trip to Arizona to face a team that was on its third starting QB of the season, but the hosts had other ideas. The Cardinals held a late lead before the Bucs tied it up to head to overtime, where a 40-yard field goal served as the game-winner. Arizona got the cover as home dogs and under was the right call on the 41.5-point total.
Week 17: Pittsburgh Steelers 16, Baltimore Ravens 13
At kickoff, the Ravens were one-point favorites. Baltimore held a 13-3 lead in the third quarter, but Pittsburgh managed to take control of the game from there. A pair of Chris Boswell field goals closed the gap, and Kenny Pickett hit Najee Harris for a game-winning score with less than a minute to go for a three-point Steelers victory. Pittsburgh got the cover with the total ending up under the 35.5-point bar.
Week 18: Detroit Lions 20, Green Bay Packers 16
The Packers were at home with a chance to lock up the NFC’s final playoff spot with a victory. Green Bay held a 16-13 lead heading into the final frame, but Detroit engineered a lengthy 13-play, 75-yard drive, capped off with a one-yard Jamaal Williams TD for the game-winning touchdown. The Lions got the cover as a four-point underdog, while under was the right call on the 48-point game-time line.
Other ways to bet on Sunday Night Football
In addition to the above, there are other ways to get in on the Sunday Night Football action throughout the season. Here are some popular options:
- Same-game parlays: These bets let you take your chances at even greater returns. For same-game parlays, you add multiple picks to the same slip, such as a spread plus a total and a prop, with the odds based on your choices. If all of your picks are correct, you win, but a single wrong pick means the whole parlay loses.
- In-play betting: Once Sunday Night Football kicks off, the betting doesn’t have to stop. Live betting means you can bet right along as the action plays out on the field. The odds and lines will shift frequently and quickly, with plenty of options throughout the game. This includes new spreads, totals, props and more.
- Alternate lines: You can go beyond the main spreads and totals to find numbers that you’re more comfortable with. There will be a host of alternate lines, ranging from an extra half-point to 10+, all of which will influence the odds based on how much risk or safety you’re adding by moving the line.
In addition to betting on SNF by itself, you can also use the game as part of your multi-leg parlays for the NFL week. For example, you could use SNF as the capper for the full Sunday slate of games, or try your luck with tying together the results of Thursday Night Football and Monday Night Football.
