2024-2025 College Football Thursday Night Betting Online
It would surprise many fans and gamblers to discover that College football is the second most popular sport in the United States, behind the NFL. A big reason for that is the massive increase in live TV content. Once upon a time, Thursday night football college football would feature one weekly game. These days, Thursday night football serves as a celebration to kick off a long weekend of action.
However, college football was so successful with its Thursday night package that it paid the ultimate price. The NFL cut into college football’s success with its Thursday night package. As a result, college football still offers Thursday night TV action. However, most of the games are with lesser-known teams and conferences.
Despite the lack of marquee brands for college football’s Thursday night schedule, gamblers don’t care. They love the betting action that is offered. Furthermore, many sharps believe you can get weaker lines and superior betting value opportunities with these lesser brands.
As usual, the first week offers the most Thursday night action and several power brands. This year, the top matchup is the North Carolina Tar Heels at Minnesota Golden Gophers. Under head coach Mack Brown, North Carolina perennially has one of the top offenses in college football. By contrast, the Golden Gophers are coming off a terrible season on both sides of the line.
Prime Time for Coach Prime will take place in Week 1 when head coach Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes host the North Dakota State Bison, one of the top FCS programs in the country.
