NFL Monday Night Football Betting Online
In 2025, Monday Night Football gets an extra four games compared to the 2024 season, which is a testament to its success. Since its debut in 1970, Monday Night Football has been the founder and lead example of weeknight sports television. When the series began, the American Football League and National Football League had just merged into one. Monday Night Football captured the excitement and momentum of that historic year and became an instant sensation. Now, sports on prime time network television is a regular occurrence. But back in 1970, ABC TV and the NFL were really rolling the dice.
However, when the novelty wore off, there was a period of bad matchups and low ratings. But Monday Night Football has enjoyed a renaissance with the broadcast tandem of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman over the past few seasons. Now, there is a sense that the franchise has been reborn and has a bright future. An expanded and quality 2025 Monday Night Football Schedule certainly adds to that perception.

Monday Night Football Betting Schedule
The 2025 Monday Night Football schedule opens with an NFC North rivalry matchup of the Minnesota Vikings at the Chicago Bears. Gamblers are asking which Viking team they will get in 2025? Will it be the impressive playoff teams from 2022 and 2024 or the miserable failure of 2023?
Despite going 14-3 last year, the Vikings tried to trade QB Sam Darnold during the season, but never finished a deal. After flopping in the NFC wild card round against the Los Angeles Rams, the Vikings and Darnold parted ways. JJ McCarthy, who was the Vikings’ first-round draft pick in 2024, takes over as QB. McCarthy is best known as the QB of the 2023 national champion Michigan Wolverines.
The Bears have an interesting QB situation as well. After taking Justin Fields 11th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Bears gave up on him after the 2023 season. In 2024, Chicago took Caleb Williams first overall in the draft. In order to try and prevent another first-round bust at QB, Chicago hired the former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator. Ben Johnson is the new head coach. Johnson worked wonders with Jared Goff and the Lions offense under head coach Dan Campbell. Thus, there is hope that Johnson can engineer a transformation of what has been a dysfunctional franchise, just as Campbell did at Detroit.
The Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders have shared the same division since their founding in 1960 as charter members of the American Football League. This ancient rivalry has produced great football over the years.
Jim Harbaugh had a successful first season in LA, taking the Chargers to the playoffs. Harbaugh is the quarterback whisperer that Justin Herbert has always needed since his arrival.
The Raiders have a new coach and quarterback. Pete Carroll continues to drink from the fountain of youth and is refreshed after taking a year off from coaching. Carroll is the most successful coach in the history of the Seattle Seahawks, having made two Super Bowls and winning one. Geno Smith, Carroll’s QB at Seattle, is coming along with him.
