The penultimate week of the NFL’s regular season begins with an underwhelming Christmas Day tripleheader.
The latest: Every Christmas game has at least one team eliminated from the playoffs, and that includes the Patrick Mahomes-less Kansas City Chiefs. Not very festive, is it? The weekend’s action is much better, headlined by a huge game between the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers.

NFL Week 17 odds: Betting insights
- The Chicago Bears picked up their first signature win in the Ben Johnson era, dispaching the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Now, they take on a red-hot 49ers team in Santa Clara. Chicago can clinch the NFC North with a win in primetime.
- The Christmas slate isn’t fully irrelevant. The Denver Broncos are hunting for the AFC’s top seed and take on KC. Elsewhere, the Detroit Lions are in the midst of a heated battle to get into the playoffs. J.J. McCarthy’s Minnesota Vikings are heating up and would love to play spoiler to their divisional rival.
- Two playoff hopefuls in the AFC, the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers, do battle on Saturday. Both teams currently sit in a wild-card spot and are walking on a tight rope with two games to play.
