2024 NFL GW17 Christmas Picks

Jan Keys was hoping that the Saints were going to put up a bit more of a fight in Green Bay but they did the opposite and folded like a wet paper towel. We go again, check out Jan’s 2024 NFL GW17 Christmas preview and picks below.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (14-1)  @ PITTSBURGH STEELERS (10-5) 18:00 DEC 25

VEGAS LINE: KANSAS CITY -3; TOTAL POINTS 43

JAN KEYS RATINGS: PITTSBURGH -1.3; TOTAL POINTS 45.5

LAST WEEK

Kansas 27 Houston 19

Baltimore 34 Pittsburgh 17

Kansas City need just one more win to guarantee Number One seed in the Playoffs. Having a 14-1 record for the season sounds impressive but they have not been convincing at times, they just know how to get the job done.

Pittsburgh were thrashed by Divisional rivals Baltimore last week and they both have 10-5 Records. This match means more to the Steelers than the Chiefs and if anything, the Chiefs would prefer Pittsburgh winning the AFC North to Baltimore.

2024 NFL REGULAR SEASON GW17 CHRISTMAS Pick: PITTSBURGH +3 POINTS

BALTIMORE RAVENS (10-5) @ HOUSTON TEXANS (9-6) 21:30 Dec 25

VEGAS LINE: BALTIMORE -5; TOTAL POINTS 46.5

JAN KEYS RATINGS: BALTIMORE -5.5; TOTAL POINTS 48

This match follows the Pittsburgh vs Kansas match and Baltimore will be hoping Kansas win. Houston would also like a Kansas win as that would give them a chance of moving from 4 to 3 in the playoffs. So, this match has similar motivational value for both teams.

Baltimore continue with the inspiring Jackson – Henry set up and are an exceptional team on their day. As a Baltimore fan (this season), I’m not sure I like the 5 point spread as Houston are another playoff team.

Houston would have been disappointed to lose in Kansas, but they live to fight another day and this should be a good contest.

For me, Houston are in the top 6-10 best teams in the NFL and just a bit behind tonight’s opponents. In my view, the line is correct and I’m not sure where I would like to be. I would possibly take Baltimore if Kansas win the early game and Houston if Pittsburgh win the early game. But for now, it’s a no bet.

2024 NFL REGULAR SEASON GW17 CHRISTMAS Pick: No Bet

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (8-7) @ CHICAGO BEARS (4-11) 01:15 Dec 27

VEGAS LINE: SEATTLE -3.5; TOTAL POINTS 43

JAN KEYS RATINGS: SEATTLE -1.7; TOTAL POINTS 43.9

LAST WEEK

CHICAGO 17 DETROIT 34

SEATTLE 24 MINNESOTA 27

Chicago’s pass offense is improving but their rush offense remains poor and overall, defensively they are poor. QB Caleb Williams has little choice but to throw the Football.

Seattle were unlucky not to beat Minnesota last week and will be hoping for a win to keep their playoff hope alive. Seattle, like Chicago, have very little rush offense to talk about. QB Geno Smith will be throwing the ball and I am hoping his passing numbers are high. I believe this will be a passing shootout and I expect the points to flow.
