The NFL isn’t known for making the holidays merry and bright for fans, but this year they chose to try and steal some of the NBA’s thunder. With an exceptional lineup of three exciting games, the league is offering the perfect holiday gift to football addicts like myself (and probably yourself if you’re reading this). As if the festive spirit weren’t enough, these games are packed with high stakes, former MVPs, the defending Super Bowl Champions, as well as the Super Bowl runner-ups, and of course the potential to significantly impact the playoff race.
The first game of the day will feature the Las Vegas Raiders (6-8) taking on the Kansas City Chiefs (9-5) at 1 p.
