Monday Night Football has been a United States institution since 1970 and it has been a betting bonanza for the last 20+ years. If you are having a very difficult week with your betting, never fear, Monday Night Football can bail you out of the whole week. If you had a great week, it is the icing on the cake. There is nothing like it in all of gambling.

Sportsbooks can live or die on two key games each weekend, the Sunday night NFL game and Monday Night Football.monday-night-football-schedule

It used to be that the Sunday night game was the most important game of the week. Yes, even more important than Monday night. The reason for this change is that many people want to bail out of their bad Sundays on the evening Sunday night game.see

Starting in 2009, ESPN will begin airing the Monday night games and NBC will get ESPN's Sunday night package.

The NFL's decision to swap the nights games are on cable and network TV is because Sunday nights now have the highest viewership of any night of the week. ABC decided to stay with its successful prime time package of shows, headlined by Desperate Housewives, leaving NBC with the Sunday night package. The Sunday night game now will be the "showcase" game of the week on the NFL schedule.

While the ESPN broadcasts will have the MNF name and heritage, NBC (like ABC) is a broadcast network, whereas ESPN is a cable service not freely available to all Americans, though any ESPN games will still air on free broadcast TV in the home markets of each team. For that reason, NBC, not ESPN, will gain rights to the wild card doubleheader that has traditionally aired on ABC, as well as a share of the rotating rights to the Super Bowl (with CBS and Fox also in the mix).

Also, John Madden, key MNF production personnel, and most recently Al Michaels have all elected to join NBC for its broadcasts.
