NFL Week 17 Christmas Day Picks And Props

The NFL Week 17 Christmas Day football features a pair of games betwen upcoming AFC playoff teams. Fans can watch and wager with the games streamed on Netflix, who joins in the profitable partnership with the National Football League paying $75 million per contest to stream the games on Christmas Day. Game odds, picks and props below and in other links and sites I contribute to as the Kansas City Chiefs (14-1) tackle the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-5) and Baltimore Ravens (10-5) hit the Houston Texans (9-6).

Beyonce is singing during the halftime show in her hometown Houston, and I’ve chipped in more NFL Christmas Day coverage in Forbes, including picks, props and (hopefully) profits on our NFL picks and props.

That’s because our NFL underdog picks have suffered it’s worst run in 8-years posting with an 0-fer showing in Week 15 as betting favorites went 12-4 SU and 11-5 ATS. Following a 10-3 ATS start to the season posting underdog picks, and 20-15 ATS into Week 11, we’ve gone Raiders and Bears-like losing streaks and will suffer our worst season in 8 years posting only NFL underdog picks.

Christmas Day Odds

• Kansas City (-3) at Pittsburgh, 44
• Baltimore (-5.5) at Houston, 47

Dec. 26

• Seattle (-3.5) at Chicago, 43.5

Despite that, our 8-year run of NFL-only underdog picks are 55% ATS. Recall in 2003-2010 I posted 8-straight winning years of NFL winning with better than 57% ATS overall on all selections independently documented by third party for professional handicappers.

I no longer tout, and it’s been more than a decade since I sold selections for companies, but there has still been more winning than losing as I chip-in football picks, insight and information you can bet on.

Now three road favorites are taking the bulk of the betting again with the Chiefs, Ravens and Seattle Seahawks, who visit Chicago to tackle the Bears on Dec. 26 after the Christmas Day feature games.

NFL Week 17 Odds

I’m not in the big NFL contests this year at SuperBook or Circa Sports, which I featured in Forbes for it’s Circa Million NFL contest. But I’ve had top-5% finishes in the big NFL contests in seasons past.

Plenty to follow in contests the final weeks including Circa Millions and Circa Survivor, which has just 45 players remaining from 14,266 entries and a 1st place prize (winner take all) of $14.2 million.

Odds are always subject to change, and the Chiefs are a 3-point favorite at seom select online sportsbooks for NFL Week 17 Christmas Day games.

I’m adding the Steelers to my Week 17 underdog picks, and the rest of the picks will be added later this week. Any additions updated here or on X, as I’m still considering the Texans and perhaps moreso the Bears.

Additional player props from post in OSGA and Forbes include Patrick Mahomes under 255.5 passing yards. Recall Mahomes had just 191 passing yards in their only loss of the season at Buffalo in Week 11. At that time, our NFL underdog picks were 20-15 ATS for the season. Now our worst finish, but let’s hit this one against Mahomes, whose passing yards prop has risen with his 260 passing yards last week at Houston. But the Steelers pass defense (220/game) and strength up front is stronger that the Bills. The Texans pass defense (200/game) is stronger statistically, and Mahomes passed for 260 yards against Houston last wee
