NFL Christmas Day Games and Favorite Bet
NFL fans will have three games to watch on Christmas Day this year, although only one will carry much fanfare.
- Green Bay Packers at Miami Dolphins
- Denver Broncos at Los Angeles Rams
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Arizona Cardinals
Seeing as BetMGM is offering a risk-free bet for Christmas Day, my go-to strategy is to place a parlay bet. I don’t go overboard but rather a small parlay with longer odds that I feel confident at least has a chance of hitting. If it wins I’m off to a great start. If not, I’ll be able to wager that bet again with another parlay.
Parlay: Broncos-Rams Under 36.5 + Buccaneers-Cardinals Under 40.5
With the Broncos at the Rams, the Under is simple. We have two of the worst offenses going up against solid defenses and in Denver’s case, one of the better defenses in the league. Both teams are the bottom two scoring offenses in the league and in the bottom six in terms of yards per play. Defensively, Denver is fourth in overall DVOA and is allowing the third-fewest points per game and fourth-lowest yards per play.
This certainly isn’t the year Tom Brady had in mind, as the Bucs are averaging the fifth-fewest points per game and just 5.0 yards per play which is tied for the sixth-fewest in the league. Luckily for them, they have a matchup with the Cardinals who will be starting their third-string quarterback. On the year, Arizona is averaging 20.9 points per game, which is middle of the road. Over the last two weeks, however, that has dropped to 14.5 points per game in Kyler Murray’s absence.
For the cherry on this Under sundae, these four teams have combined to go 19-35-2 in favor of the Over this year. This means nearly 65% of their games have failed to hit the over.
At the time of this article, these two selections come to odds of +264. A $20 wager would result in a potential payout of $72.89.
