From a point-spread perspective, that is.
As highlighted in one of the chapters of my book - Taylor's Pro Football Gambling Annual 2025 - this season will see six teams return from bye weeks to play in a Monday Night Football fixture.
Last night's games saw the first eligible selections for '25 in the form of the Atlanta Falcons and Chicago Bears.
In the case of Atlanta, their last week and a day was spent preparing for a visit from the Buffalo Bills. The Falcons were priced up as underdogs for their home game. They did more than cover the spread. They won outright with a score of 24-14.
The second MNF offering of the night saw the Bears as road dogs for their trip to Washington. A game-winning field goal ended the meeting with a 25-24 score for the visitors.
I played both selections in a betting contest. At the time the entry was placed, the Falcons were +4 and Chicago were +4.5. However, by game time, the Bears had risen to +5.5.
The other selections I had in the contest went 2-1 with winning plays on Pittsburgh -5.5, who won 23-9 against the Browns, and Miami managing to cover the four-point spread despite losing 27-29 at home against the Chargers.
The one in the week's 4-1 result was thanks, or rather no thanks!, to the Detroit Lions. I had them at +2.5 against Kansas City.
The Chiefs won 30-17 as home faves.
