NFL Christmas Games 2024: Where To Watch & Betting Tips 

Many sources of entertainment ramp up over the Christmas period, with the world of sports being no different. When it comes to the NFL, unlike many other leagues such as the Premier League and the Rugby League, action is live on Christmas day itself, giving fans a special duo of games to enjoy.  

Of course, as we’re heading towards the end of the NFL season for 2024/25, these games are not only festive but more important than ever. All four of the teams involved in a game on Xmas day are within the top 2 of their respective divisions, meaning that fans are treated to some high-quality American football on the big day. In addition to this, a win could help to solidify the top spot for any of the four NFL teams, allowing them to potentially claim the division title on Christmas day itself.  

On this page, you can find everything related to the games on 25th December 2024, including the teams involved, how to watch both fixtures and other key details. We also share our NFL betting tips for the two match-ups!  

How To Watch NFL Christmas Games 2024

As mentioned earlier, there are two NFL games for fans to look out for on Christmas Day 2024: 

• Kansas City Chiefs @ Pittsburgh Steelers: 6:00 pm BST  

• Baltimore Ravens @ Houston Texans: 9:30 pm BST  

Both of these games are available to watch on Netflix across the UK, without the need to pay extra. Anyone who has an active Netflix subscription can enjoy both games through the app!  

Christmas NFL Games: Betting Tips and Predictions 

Here at BetVictor, we have a huge range of markets for both of the Christmas NFL games. However, there are a few that stand out from the crowd. Below you can find a betting tip for each game, alongside an overview of the reasoning behind each pick:  

Game 1: Kansas City Chiefs @ Pittsburgh Steelers

First up is the encounter between the Chiefs and the Steelers, with the team from Kansas City having a much better record overall this season. The Chiefs have already claimed victory over the AFC West division and could clinch first place overall in the American Football Conference with a win here against the Steelers.  

With Patrick Mahomes being monitored on a week-to-week after limping off the pitch against the Browns, the plan for the Steelers is a rather obvious one: Heavily target Carson Wentz. While Carson is a highly experienced player, a lot of success for the Kansas City Chiefs has come through Mahomes, who is ranked 9th in the entire NFL for passing touchdowns this season (with 22), and 10th for total passing yards (3,348).  

If his injury is more severe than first anticipated, this game could be a lot closer than it looks on paper; however, should he make an appearance on Christmas day, as many experts think he will, the Chiefs should be able to get the job done in a convincing fashion and cover the spread.  

Our NFL Betting pick for the Kansas City Chiefs @ Pittsburgh Steelers: Kansas City Chiefs -2.5  

Game 2: Baltimore Ravens @ Houston Texans

The second game, which gets underway at 9:30 pm BST, features the Ravens travelling to Houston to take on the Texans. This game is packed with potential, with both teams being heavily offensive, which could lead to a fast-paced encounter to close out the Christmas action.  

Both of these teams have a similar record across the board, however, the standout statistic is the 5-2 home record for the Texans, who have held firm inside of the NRG Stadium this season. With that being said, the last five meetings between these have all ended in favour of the team from Baltimore.   

There’s a lot to play for in this game, which could go either way, but we think it’s time for the Texans to start clawing back some dignity from the abysmal head-to-head record they have against the Ravens. Many eyes will be on Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz as they look to expose the Baltimore defence, with this likely being one of the main keys to the game.
