Betting Insights

  • This will be Kansas City’s second consecutive Christmas Day game. The Chiefs shockingly lost to the Las Vegas Raiders, 20-14, last year where opposing quarterback Aidan O’Connell only completed nine passes. They’ll be on the road this year, however.
  • Pittsburgh is reeling, and its grip on first in the AFC North is slipping. A loss on Christmas Day could drop it into a wild-card spot. The Steelers have lost back-to-back games and are in tough for a third consecutive week.
  • Baltimore is the team gaining fast on Pittsburgh. The two are tied atop the division, but the Ravens bested the Steelers on Saturday and have won three of their last four. Lamar Jackson is killing teams through the air, totalling eight passing touchdowns in his last two games.
  • The Texans have locked up the AFC South, but that has more to do with the division than they’re own play. Houston is a good-not-great 9-6 but has lost four of its last seven outings. C.J. Stroud isn’t protecting the football, posting three multi-pick performances in his last six games.
