Week 17 of the NFL season kicks off Thursday with a Christmas Day tripleheader.
While our friends down south will have to flock over to Netflix to watch the games, we’ve got you covered all day on TSN with coverage starting at 11 am EST on TSN1/3.
This slate is, well, a tad underwhelming.
The Denver Broncos are the only playoff team of the six in action Thursday, and four others have already been eliminated. The Detroit Lions are hanging on at +1500 odds to reach the postseason.
We also have at least one starting quarterback sidelined in all three matchups:
The Washington Commanders are missing Jayden Daniels.
The Minnesota Vikings are missing J.J. McCarthy
The Kansas City Chiefs are missing Patrick Mahomes.
Each game features a favourite of at least seven points, and a moneyline parlay of Dallas, Detroit, and Denver is -134 on FanDuel.
But if you don’t trust any underdogs and don’t want to play three big favourites, perhaps this is a good time to check out some specials on FanDuel to sweat with your family while your niece is unboxing her new Ms. Rachel toy.
FanDuel NFL Christmas Specials
Every team to score a touchdown -140
There have been 32 games played on Christmas in the NFL, with 30 of those featuring at least one touchdown for both teams.
However, you don’t have to look too far back in history to find the last time a team failed to score a touchdown on Christmas, as it happened last season.
The Chiefs appear to be the biggest threat in this market, entering Thursday with a point total of just 10.5. Kansas City was held without a touchdown last week for the first time all season.
Here is a look at some other specials on FanDuel for the Christmas Day tripleheader.
