TNF, SNF, and MNF Team Trends and Systems for the NFL
The following NFL betting trends and systems come from a log of all the Thursday night (TNF), Sunday night (SNF), and Monday night (MNF) games since the start of the 2019 season. Only Thursday night games were included in the TNF study, not the day games played on Thanksgiving. The Sunday night games only included those games played on Sunday night, not all of the games covered by the NBC SNF crew, which also included some Wednesday and Saturday contests. The games analyzed were only regular-season games.
THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
· There has been some interesting data regarding the first and second halves of the season in terms of Thursday night games. In the first half of the season, or Weeks 1-8, home teams have gone 30-24 SU but 19-33-2 ATS (36.5%) in the last 54. Going back even further, since 2016, TNF home teams in Weeks 9 and later are 44-27 SU and 42-26-3 ATS (61.8%). There seems to be a fundamental edge to playing at home with less rest late in the season.
System Match (PLAY): MIAMI (+7.5 vs BAL)
· Home underdogs on TNF have really struggled of late, going 8-22 SU and 12-18 ATS (40%) in their last 30, scoring just 16.5 PPG. In terms of totals, 18 of the last 28 (64.3%) TNF games featuring a home dog went Under.
System Match (FADE): MIAMI (+7.5 vs BAL)
System Match (PLAY UNDER): BAL-MIA (o/u at 51.5)

System Match (PLAY): WASHINGTON (+3 vs SEA)
· SNF teams coming off losses have proven not ready for the big time, as they have gone just 14-27 SU and 15-26 ATS (36.6%) in their last 41 tries against teams off a win.
System Match (FADE): WASHINGTON (+3 vs SEA)
· Momentum has been big for hosts overall, as home teams on SNF coming off a loss in their last games are just 16-23-1 SU and 17-22-1 ATS (43.6%) in their last 40, but those coming off a win are on a current 28-10 SU and 22-16 ATS (57.9%) surge.
System Match (FADE): WASHINGTON (+3 vs SEA)
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
· In non-divisional conference matchups on MNF, hosts are on a 23-21 SU and 27-17 ATS (61.4%) surge since 2019.
System Match (PLAY): DALLAS (-2.5 vs ARI)
· Won/lost records have mattered on MNF, as teams with the better record are 46-40 SU but just 33-51-2 ATS (39.3%) in the last 86 MNF games not matching teams with identical records.
System Match (FADE): DALLAS (-2.5 vs ARI)

NFL Rookie/Retread Coaching Systems
This material is from the VSiN piece entitled Analyzing the New NFL Head Coaches for 2025 detailing systems that apply to rookie coaches Ben Johnson (Chicago), Brian Schottenheimer (Dallas), Liam Coen (Jacksonville), Kellen Moore (New Orleans), and Aaron Glenn (NY Jets) as well as retread coaches Pete Carroll (Las Vegas) and Mike Vrabel (New England).
Rookie Coach Systems
(Games this week: CHI(-3)-CIN, JAX(-3.5)-LVR, NO(+14)-LAR), ARI-DAL(-2.5))
– Rookie head coaches haven’t been good at covering point spreads at home over the last decade – 155-182-10 ATS (46%).
System Match (FADE): DALLAS
– Since 2015, in games #1-#4 of their first seasons, they’ve combined to go 87-89-4 ATS, good for 49.4%. In games #5-#12, they’ve gone 156-171-11 ATS (47.7%). To close the season in games #13-#17, the record has been 89-89-1 ATS (50%). Again, not awe-inspiring patterns, but there is some foundation to this.
System Match (FADE): CHICAGO, JACKSONVILLE, NEW ORLEANS, DALLAS
Retread Coach Systems
(Games this week: ATL-NE(-5.5), JAX-LVR(+3.5))
– Retread head coaches have been brutal bets as favorites. As favorites since 2015, they’ve gone 96-68 SU but just 63-90-11 ATS, for 41.2%!
System Match (FADE): NEW ENGLAND
– In non-conference games, they have really struggled, going 44-60 ATS (42.3%) over the last decade, including 17-30 ATS (36.2%) over the last three seasons.
System Match (FADE): NEW ENGLAND
– Retread head coaches have shown a tendency to start very slow at their new franchises and finish their first seasons more successfully when it comes to covering point spreads. Since 2015, in Weeks #1-#10 of their first seasons, they’ve combined to go 106-138 ATS (43.4%), while in weeks #11 and later, they’ve gone 81-74 ATS (52.3%).
System Match (FADE): NEW ENGLAND, LAS VEGAS
– There seems to be a noteworthy trend of momentum that comes with these re-tread head coaches. Since 2015, when coming off a win or tie, these coaches have posted a modest 83-78 ATS (51.6%) record in their first seasons, including 33-25 ATS (56.9%) since mid-2022. When coming off a loss, the record has been an ugly 138-176 ATS (43.9%) in that same time span.
System Match (PLAY): NEW ENGLAND
System Match (FADE): LAS VEGAS
NFL Rookie Quarterback Systems
These systems take into account rookie quarterback records in their first seasons. They include game logs of any rookie that started seven or more games in that first season.

NFL Rookie Quarterbacks Stats Betting System #5 – Rookie quarterbacks have struggled on the road, particularly late in the season
The results of rookie quarterbacks on the road lately are startling. Since the start of the 2013 season, rookie starters have combined for a record of 140-127 ATS (52.4%) in home games but just 123-149 ATS (45.2%) in road/neutral games.
System Matches (FADE ALL): MINNESOTA, NEW ORLEANS
NFL Rookie Quarterbacks Stats Betting System #6 – Don’t fall for the big underdog point spreads with rookie quarterbacks
Since 2015, rookie starting quarterbacks facing underdog lines of 6.5 points or more have won just 23 games, going 23-128 SU and 60-87-4 ATS (40.8%).
System Matches (FADE ALL): TENNESSEE, MINNESOTA, NEW ORLEANS
NFL Rookie Quarterbacks Stats Betting System #10 – By type of opponent, divisional matchups have been toughest for rookie starting quarterbacks
Since 2015, rookie QBs are just 50-110 SU and 66-89-4 ATS (42.6%) versus divisional opponents.
System Match (FADE): MINNESOTA
Since 2018, rookie QBs have fared well against non-divisional conference opponents, going 55-69 SU but 69-54 ATS (56.1%).
System Matches (PLAY ALL): TENNESSEE, NEW ORLEANS, NY GIANTS
NFL Rookie Quarterbacks Stats Betting System #11 – Losses have tended to snowball for rookie QBs
In their last 172 starts with their teams coming off outright losses, rookie QBs have gone just 57-121 SU and 79-96-2 ATS (45.1%). This trend dates back to 2018.
System Matches (FADE ALL): TENNESSEE, NEW ORLEANS, MINNESOTA, NY GIANTS
NFL Veteran Quarterback Leading New Team Systems
These systems take into account veteran quarterback records in their first season with a new team. They include game logs of 32 different veteran QBs since 2004 who have played at least eight years in the NFL and started extensively on a previous team. This week, there are three different QBs finding themselves in a new place: Aaron Rodgers (Pittsburgh), Joe Flacco (Cincinnati), and Geno Smith (Las Vegas).
(Games this week: IND-PIT(+3), CHI-CIN(+3), JAX-LVR(+3.5))
NFL Veteran Quarterbacks Stats Betting System #5 – Veteran quarterbacks thrive with their new teams at home
The results since 2005 of veteran quarterbacks playing with their new teams at home are quite impressive, as they have gone 129-85 SU and 111-92-11 ATS (54.7%).
System Matches (PLAY ALL): PITTSBURGH, CINCINNATI, LAS VEGAS
NFL Veteran Quarterbacks Stats Betting System #6 – By type of opponent, non-divisional conference matchups have been best for veteran starting quarterbacks in their first season with new teams
Since 2005, veteran QBs in their first season with new teams have fared well against non-divisional conference opponents, going 87-74 SU and 86-73-2 ATS (54.1%).
System Matches (PLAY ALL): PITTSBURGH, LAS VEGAS

Strategies Using NFL DraftKings Betting Splits Data
One of the most touted features on the VSiN.com website, and a feature that we believe to be a fantastic resource for bettors, is the betting splits pages. These are the pages that we have built utilizing the data that DraftKings so graciously provides to us, detailing the breakdowns of the money and ticket splits for point spreads, money lines, and totals. In an article published in the 2025 NFL Betting Guide, Steve Makinen outlined 12 different systematic strategies for successfully using the DK Betting Splits Data that were developed in the last three seasons. Here are the systems and qualifying plays for this week’s games as of Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. ET. These can and will change, so continue to track and qualify the systems up until kickoff for best usage.
Here is a quick tabulation on how DK bettors performed in the 2024 season:
– Majority handle on point spreads: 141-131 ATS (51.8%)
– Majority number of bets on point spreads: 140-130 ATS (51.9%)
– Majority handle on totals: 143-133 (51.8%)
– Majority number of bets on totals: 147-131 (52.9%)
These are very good wrap-up numbers by the standards that have been established in most of the similar reports I have done for other sports. Considering NFL betting is king, it’s nice to see recreational bettors like those at DraftKings holding their own. With that in mind, here are the systems with updated language and records heading into the ’25 season.
NFL DK Betting Splits system #1: Over the past two seasons, when more than 68% of the handle has been on a particular side of an ATS wager, this majority group is just 71-81 ATS (46.7%). The number for this “super-majority” in college football was closer to 75%. In other words, if you see over 2/3 of the handle backing one side in an NFL game this season, it’s consistently profitable to fade it.
System Matches (FADE ALL): BALTIMORE, CHICAGO, SAN FRANCISCO, NEW ENGLAND, INDIANAPOLIS, GREEN BAY, DETROIT, LA CHARGERS, JACKSONVILLE, LA RAMS, SEATTLE, DALLAS
NFL DK Betting Splits system #2: In NFL divisional games of 2022-24, DK majority handle bettors have been awful, as this majority group is just 117-148 ATS (44.2%). With the obvious generality that public bettors love favorites, it’s clear that they don’t value the stakes of these rivalry games and what they mean for the competitors.
System Match (FADE): DETROIT
NFL DK Betting Splits system #3: Similarly to #2 above, in that same time span, when the majority number of bets staked its side in an NFL divisional game, this majority group is just 118-150 ATS (44%).
System Match (FADE): DETROIT
NFL DK Betting Splits system #4: In NFL non-conference games of 2023 and 2024, DK majority number of bets groups were actually quite sharp, going 79-64 ATS (55.2%). This is obviously quite the opposite performance level of #3 above, and unfortunately for bettors, there are two fewer non-conference tilts than divisional contests for each team on the schedule every year. Of course, if strategically playing both spots according to these systems, every game in either situation is an opportunity.
System Matches (SLIGHT PLAY ALL): CHICAGO, NEW ENGLAND
NFL DK Betting Splits system #5: Since the start of the 2023 season, when the majority number of bets have backed road favorites for an ATS wager, these majority groups are actually 100-87 ATS (53.5%). I will tell you that there are only 15 games or fewer each year when this group will actually back the home dog. Watch this one closely, as backing road favorites in the NFL has never been a consistent winning strategy.
System Matches (SLIGHT PLAY ALL): BALTIMORE, CHICAGO, SAN FRANCISCO, INDIANAPOLIS, LA CHARGERS, JACKSONVILLE, SEATTLE
NFL DK Betting Splits system #6: When the majority handle was on road underdogs for an ATS wager over the last two years, these majority groups have surprisingly struggled, 27-36 ATS (42.9%). This goes against the logic I have discovered in other sports, which says that when the public goes “against the grain,” they can do well. Quite the opposite here. As you can see, it is rare, just 63 games in two full seasons.
System Match (FADE): DENVER
NFL DK Betting Splits system #7: When the majority handle and number of bets have backed a team in an ATS wager in the higher-profile, non-Sunday afternoon games over the last two seasons, these majority groups are just 100-114 ATS (46.7%) and 101-111 ATS (47.6%), respectively. This set of games includes all the Thursday, Saturday, Sunday night (SNF), and Monday night contests. These numbers were improved along with the overall majority figures last year, but I wouldn’t expect that to continue.
System Matches (FADE ALL): BALTIMORE, SEATTLE, DALLAS
DK Betting Splits system #9: The average NFL total in 2023 was 43.0. Last year, it ballooned back up to 44.6. In games where the totals reached 46.5 or higher and odds makers thus expected them to be a little more explosive, majority number of bettors have gauged these games incredibly well the last two years, going 96-72 ATS (60.8%)! We’ll see how that trend holds in 2025.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): OVER – CHI-CIN, SF-NYG, IND-PIT, MIN-DET, KC-BUF, SEA-WAS, ARI-DAL
UNDER – BAL-MIA
DK Betting Splits system #10: When 56% or more of the number of bets have been on the Under in an NFL game total over the last 2-1/2 seasons, this majority group has been quite sharp, 56-45 ATS (55.4%). This number for a “super-majority” inthe NFL is quite low, evidence of how rarely the betting public bets the low side of a total. Incidentally, the same majority figure for handle has also produced a 74-62 (54.4%) record.
System Matches (SLIGHT PLAY UNDER ALL): BAL-MIA, CAR-GB
DK Betting Splits system #11: The magic mark for super majority on handle for betting Overs was 74% or higher, and this group performed miserably in 2023 and 2024 with a record of 46-69 (42.6%). To me, this has been a long-standing belief, but when the Over looks too obvious, it usually loses. On the number of bets, this same super majority percentage produced a slightly improved 30-37 (44.8%) record, still poor though.
System Matches (PLAY UNDER ALL INSTEAD): CHI-CIN, SF-NYG, MIN-DET, LAC-TEN, KC-BUF
DK Betting Splits system #12: Call this one the Over trap, but when a super-majority (>=64%) of handle has been on the Over, but DraftKings moved the opening total lower throughout the week, this majority group has lost big, going just 70-92 (43.2%) over the past three seasons. Almost as if they were trying to bait more people into taking the Over. This is a classic example of where those behind the counter are smarter than those trying to cash the tickets.
System Match (PLAY UNDER INSTEAD): ATL-NE
