Fans of the National Football League know that football games happening at the same time is nothing new, as it happens every Sunday with a handful of games that start at 1 p.m. ET and a handful of games that start at 4 p.m. ET.
On Monday, a first-time duo of Monday Night Football games will happen, which could benefit one of the company's media partners.
How to Watch Monday Night Football: The rights for "Monday Night Football" games belong to Walt Disney Company DIS, which could get a lift with two primetime games happening on Dec. 11, an item that sports bettors will also likely love.
For the first time in NHL history, two Monday Night Football games will be happening at the same time.
A game featuring the Tennessee Titans at the Miami Dolphins will air on ESPN. A second game featuring the Green Bay Packers at the New York Giants will air on ABC. Both games will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET.
For those looking to closely follow both games, a special broadcast featuring Eli Manning and Peyton Manning will air on ESPN2 and stream on ESPN+. Called "Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli," the broadcast will show both games on the same screen and feature analysis by the brothers at the same time.
Titans vs. Dolphins Betting Odds: The Dolphins are favored in the contest by 13.5 points at sportsbook DraftKings Inc DKNG, marking one of the largest betting spreads of Week 14.
