Marcus Mariota suffered a hand injury in Week 16, putting his status in question on a short week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That leaves the door open for a potential Josh Johnson start, making it hard to pencil Washington down for many points if that&#8217;s the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Bet on the NFL Christmas Day schedule at NorthStar Bets<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Closs<\/strong>: After going for 100-plus yards with six or more catches in three straight, CeeDee Lamb hauled in six catches for 51 yards in Week 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this matchup is a holiday gift for the Cowboys&#8217; receivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Commanders give up the seventh-most passing yards per game. Dallas has the best passing offence in the NFL, so there should be more than enough room for both Lamb and George Pickens to cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cowboys vs. Commanders predictions<\/strong><br><strong>Psihogios<\/strong>: Cowboys -6.5 (-108)<strong><br>Closs<\/strong>: Lamb over 78.5 receiving yards (-106)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NFL Christmas Day picks: Lions vs. Vikings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:122350\">Embed: #122350<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Detroit&#8217;s playoff chances took a massive blow with its loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now the Lions need to win out and have the Green Bay Packers lose out. I&#8217;m picking Detroit to beat the Vikings, who are rolling with Max Brosmer at quarterback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brosmer threw four interceptions (including a pick-six) in his lone start this year, a 26-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>Lions vs. Vikings prediction <br>Psihogios<\/strong>: Lions -6 (-107)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Bet on the NFL props<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NFL Christmas Thursday nighter: Broncos vs. Chiefs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:122351\">Embed: #122351<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Psihogios:<\/strong> Denver is coming off its worst result of the season, a 34-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, which snapped its 11-game winning streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But now it faces a Kansas City squad that wants to be anywhere but Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Day. Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew are out, leaving Chris Oladokun as the only healthy QB on the roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Broncos&#8217; defence should stifle what&#8217;s left of this offence and secure a comfortable win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Closs<\/strong>: Rookie RJ Harvey was a highly-touted receiving back in this year&#8217;s NFL draft.
