Summary

The NFL has a trio of games on their Christmas Day slate and we start with the Detroit Lions taking on the Minnesota Vikings in a game that represents the last shot for the Lions to save their season in what can only be described as a disappointing season in Mo Town. That game will impact the NFC playoff picture as the Green Bay Packers can clinch if the Lions lose again. The Packers, though, will need to beat the desperate Baltimore Ravens, who must get a win to stay alive, could be without their top two quarterbacks. The Denver Broncos take on a beaten down Kansas City Chiefs team as they look to bounce back and keep a hold on the AFC's top seed. that game will impact the Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans as those teams fighting for seeding and matchups. Finally, in the NFC, the Dallas Cowboys look to finish strong against the Washington Commanders, but there are plenty of concerns about the status of defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. We also look at the Seattle Seahawks against the Carolina Panthers as that game will help sort the NFC playoff picture.
