Thursday Night Football Thanksgiving Betting

Although the NFL had experimented with games on Thursday night in the late 1970s, Thursday Night Football as we know it now began on Thanksgiving evening in 2006 on the NFL Network.

What was first a late-season feature that was promoted as the “run to the playoffs” is now a staple of every week’s NFL broadcast schedule. Betting on Thanksgiving Night NFL games has been a tradition for over a decade and has become a staple of the fall holiday.
