Who’s playing Thursday Night Football this week?
Thursday Night Football has grown from a half-season highlight to a staple of the weekly NFL schedule. It’s not uncommon to see each of the NFL’s 32 teams in this broadcast window, and you’ll often see plenty of divisional rivalry games. All games start at 8:20 p.m. ET.
Once the 2023 schedule is released for the primetime games, we’ll list it right here.
Buccaneers Thursday Night Football schedule for 2023
Once the newest TNF schedule is released for the 2023 season, it will be updated and listed right here.
Since Thursday Night Football became a regular feature in 2006, the Buccaneers have made 12 appearances. They haven’t exactly been ready for primetime in this slot, going just 3-9 along the way. The Buccaneers will have big targets on their backs all season long, so each game they play under the primetime lights should be interesting.

Dolphins Thursday Night football schedule for 2023
The Dolphin’s Thursday Night Football schedule for 2023 hasn’t been released yet, but once it is it will be updated right here.
Miami has played on TNF 11 times going back to 2006, going 6-5. The team has one other primetime game in 2021 for now, a Monday Night Football road date with the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. The Dolphins have another standalone game earlier in the season: a Week 6 game with a 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff against the Jaguars in London.

Best ways to bet on Thursday Night Football
The full selection of NFL betting odds is open for Thursday Night Football games. Here’s a quick run-through of the main options:
TNF moneyline betting
If you think you know who is going to win, you can place a moneyline bet on one team or the other to do so. Odds are negative for favorites and positive for underdogs. At DraftKings Sportsbook the moneyline listing might look like this:
- Philadelphia Eagles +125
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers -175
The schedule got a little shuffled around in 2020, but there were ultimately 15 games under the TNF banner. Moneyline favorites went 10-5 for the season.
TNF spread betting
The spread adds more strategy to the equation. You can choose the favorite minus the spread number or the underdog plus the same number. The side you pick has to cover by doing better than what the point spread is predicting will happen. This is what a spread bet at FanDuel sportsbook might look like this:
- New York Giants +3.5 (-110)
- Miami Dolphins -3.5 (-110)
Betting results were mixed on Thursday Night Football in 2020. Favorites wound up with a mark of 7-8 against the spread, with the lone double-digit favorite failing to cover.
TNF total betting
Sportsbooks set an estimated total combined score for each NFL game. Bettors can wager on whether the game’s total points will be over or under the sportsbook’s line. This is how a totals bet may be formatted at BetMGM Sportsbook:
- Over 46.5 (-110)
- Under 46.5 (-110)
It was the same story with totals betting on Thursday Night Football in 2020. The over went 7-8 overall, but had a strong start of 3-1 through the first four weeks.
TNF alternate lines
When you click on the main game listing, you’ll open a selection of other available wagers on the game. Included on the list will be alternate lines.
- A 2.5-point spread could appear as 2 or less or 3 or more.
- A 45-point total will have other options above and below that mark.
The TNF betting lines will shift accordingly for these wagers. They make for an additional interesting strategy component on games you feel strongly about.
Prop bets
When there’s a primetime game on tap, props are very popular. You’ll find a wide assortment of team, game and player props for Thursday Night Football at top sportsbooks, such as Hard Rock FL and the PointsBet Sportsbook Florida app:
- How many total passing yards will Tom Brady have — over/under 279.5?
- Which side will have more rushing yards in the game — Dolphins or Jaguars?
For player props, those with daily fantasy sports experience will find themselves on relatively familiar ground.
Single-game parlays
The single-game parlay option continues to rise in popularity. These are bets where you make multiple calls on the same ticket.
- Buccaneers -175 moneyline/over 51.5 points/Mike Evans to score a TD.
- Dolphins -3.5 points/under 47.5 points/Dolphins to score defense or special teams TD.
You have to be right on all of your choices to win a parlay. A single wrong choice means that you lose, so parlays are high-risk, high-reward.
Thursday Night Football promos and odds boosts
Legal sportsbooks will provide a mix of bonuses, promos, and bonus bets for primetime NFL games. Here are some examples of the specific offers you should watch for:
- Odds boosts: Certain bets will have the potential for extra profits.

- New odds for moneyline, spread and total bets.
- Player props based on the current situation.

Live betting is a featured offering at all of the top FL sportsbooks. You can follow along via their apps when TNF is on, and you’ll even get real-time updates right there. When you see something you like, you’re just clicks and swipes away from getting in on the action.
