NFL Betting Tips For Christmas Day 2025

This year the NFL has prepared an ultimate Christmas gift for all Football fans with an epic NFL tripleheader coming our way!

First up it is a NFC East showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders, followed by the Detroit Lions facing off against the Minnesota Vikings in a thrilling NFC North clash. The night wraps up in the AFC West where we have the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Denver Broncos.

We bring you predictions for all 3 games, with the action starting as early as 6 pm UK Time!

Cowboys -6.5

Despite getting eliminated from playoff contention in Week 16, motivation levels will be high for Dallas to win this game on Christmas day. Against the 4-11 Commanders they’ve won 9 times in 12 road games, plus they’ve covered the spread in 5 meetings in a row while winning 4 of them.

Lions -6

Detroit’s playoff lives are hanging by a thread, they cannot allow a loss to happen on Thursday. JJ McCarthy injured his hand last weekend, he is doubtful to play on Thursday. The Lions have covered the spread in 9 of 10 meetings, I like them on the road here as they’ve won 11 times in their last 15 way games.

Broncos -12.5

Although Denver’s win streak was snapped in Week 16, I fancy them getting back on track against a seemingly unmotivated Kansas City team. The Chiefs season is pretty much a wrap, their quarterback situation is really tough at the moment. The Broncos are still very much in play for the #1 seed, they’ve covered in 7 of 8 meetings with the Chiefs.

Jalen Nailor Over 16.5 Receiving Yards

Jalen Nailor has 395 receiving yards this season, that’s an average of 26.3 per game.

Justin Jefferson has made 72 receptions this season, which is an average of 4.8 per game. He’s cleared this line in 8 of 15 games played, the Lions allow the 9th most Receptions to opposing WR this season.
