Latest News Involving NFL Christmas Odds
Green Bay Packers at Miami Dolphins
Reasons The Packers Can Cover The Spread
The Packers have been better in recent weeks, including in their victory on Monday night against the Rams. With their offense starting to get on track – up to 7th overall by DVOA – and against a passing defense that’s 27th by PFF grades and 26th by DVOA – the Packers are definitely live to win, let alone cover. If their pass defense can hold up – 8th by both PFF and DVOA, and with the 9th best Pressure Rate against a bottom 10 team in Pressure Allowed – then they can get the Dolphins off track and force Tua into plays he isn’t comfortable making
Reasons The Dolphins Can Cover The Spread
The Dolphins, even with their running game struggles, should be able to run all over the Packers’ porous rush defense. 32nd by DVOA, the Packers rush defense should enable the Dolphins to stay in 3rd and short most of the game, keeping the pressure off Tua.
If they can do that, then they just need the Dolphins’ rush Defense, which is 11th by DVOA and 5th by PFF, to force the Packers into more obvious throwing situations. The Packers are much more comfortable rushing, and a more pass happy Rodgers may show up some of his earlier season problems.
Prop Matchup
Aaron Jones Rushing Yards: With AJ Dillon suffering a concussion in the 4th Quarter of the game against the Rams, the lion’s share of the Packers rushing game will come through Jones. With an offensive philosophy that is built around rushing, Jones is gonna be used a lot, especially if Green Bay can score early.
Dolphins Vs. Packers Weather
A high temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit, with overcast clouds and 10 mph winds, is the forecast for Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday (as of 11:12 PM on December 22).

Denver Broncos at Los Angeles Rams
Reasons The Broncos Can Cover The Spread
The Broncos Defense is still the best unit in this game – 4th by both PFF grades and DVOA – and that could be enough to cover this spread. If the Defense can have a lot of 3rd and longs, they will be able to get the Rams into passing downs and be able to tee off on him, which could create short fields and potentially even defensive scores.
Holding Baker Mayfield to a limited amount of points shouldn’t be too hard, which will keep them in the game.
Reasons The Rams Can Cover The Spread
While the Broncos defense is the best unit in the game, the Broncos offense is the worst in the game – 28th by DVOA and 30th by PFF grades – and will create a lot of opportunities for the Rams. The Broncos might be able to create short fields for their offense, but their offense won’t be able to do anything about it.
Baker Mayfield hasn’t been great the last two weeks, but he can put up some points, which might be enough to win and cover.
Prop Matchup
Total Sacks: The Rams and Raiders have the 30th and 32nd best offensive lines in the game, respectively, at stopping pressure. While neither team has exceptionally good pass rushes, with those sorts of offensive lines and the likelihood of a lot of obvious passing downs, there will likely be a lot of sacks in this game.
Broncos Vs. Rams Weather
The weather forecast for Inglewood on Sunday is dry (broken clouds) and calm (2 mph winds), with a high temperature of 74 degrees Fahrenheit (as of 11:13 PM on December 22).

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Arizona Cardinals
Reasons The Buccaneers Can Cover The Spread
The Buccaneers do have the clear and obvious Quarterback advantage in this game, with even this version of Tom Brady an immeasurable edge over Trace McSorley. That has led to the largest NFL Christmas odds line movement among the three games, after Tampa Bay opened -4. The Bucs should be able to score on the 27th defense by DVOA relatively easily, and if they can get a lead, unlike last week, their 9th ranked DVOA defense should be able to hold that lead.
Reasons The Cardinals Can Cover The Spread
The Cardinals would need a substantially better Trace McSorley than we saw the last time he played, or the Bucs need to be as turnover happy as they were last week in the second half. Getting a touchdown and a hook is nice, but the Cardinals still probably need luck to cover.
Prop Matchup
Leonard Fournette Rushing Yards: With the Bucs likely to be in positive game script for much of this game, the Bucs will likely make Fournette a focal point of the offense. With keeping Brady Healthy as the key to the end of the season, reducing his passing plays where he might be hit is key.
Buccaneers Vs. Cardinals Weather
The weather forecast for Glendale on Sunday is dry (clear sky) and relatively calm (2 mph winds), with a high temperature of 67 degrees Fahrenheit. But this game could be played indoors because State Farm Stadium has a retractable roof.
