Many sports bettors avoid betting on primetime games. They’d rather bet the 1:00 pm ET games and call it a day. It’s because there’s funky stuff that happens in the other games. So far, there have been 42 evening games in the NFL. Most teams have forgotten how to score in these matchups. The Under in primetime games has earned a 13.64% ROI this season. I’ll share the premium betting system that links to these findings.

Performance Of Primetime Unders
There have been 194 games this season as of December 2. Overall, 96 of those have gone over the total, with 98 going under.
But let’s take a closer look at primetime games, specifically.
These primetime games draw an enormous betting volume. Of course, casual bettors love to bet the overs in the big matchups, and sportsbooks know it. This season, Primetime Unders have been one of the most profitable trends in the NFL. In 42 primetime games this season, the unders in primetime have hit 25-17. That’s 59% and a profit of more than 5 units at -110 odds.
On primetime, in front of the entire world, coaches and players approach the game differently. Ultimately, coaches don’t want to lose big on national TV. They’ll play field-position football and won’t take risks early in the game. That results in slower starters, nervous drives, and a sold-out, into-it crowd that helps the home team’s defense.
In addition, a Thursday night game is a short week. That typically helps the defense when legs are tired and there’s less time to study a team.

Total Points Unders (Evening Games)
As of December 2, the “Total Points Under (Evening Games)” has won over 59% of the time and has added a 13.64% ROI this season. To qualify for this system, a game must start between 7 pm and 9 pm ET during the regular season. If you took the under on all of these games, you’d be up more than 13% this season on your money.
The best situations to take this bet include divisional primetime games and when the total is 44.5 or higher. You’ll also want to look out for the under when a team is favored by more than a six points. If either team is on short rest, it’s also an ideal spot. For example, it’s not just about a team playing on Thursday. It’s also if a team played on Monday and then has to play on Sunday Night Football the following week. That’s a legitimate short week and a good time to take the under.
There are situations I’d avoid using this system for. If two elite offenses are playing against one another, it’s harder to grab the Under. If the game is in a dome and there’s no wind to factor into the game, it’s probably best to stay away. But clearly, if you stay consistent with this betting system, you’ll come out on top in terms of profit, based on this betting system’s data.
