NFL Week 17 picks: Christmas Day doubleheader has playoff implications

Los Angeles: So, it’s that time of year again! The NFL is heating up as we head into Week 17, and there are some exciting matchups lined up, especially on Christmas Day. Fans are in for a treat with a doubleheader that could shake up the playoff picture.

The Chiefs are taking on the Steelers, and it’s a big deal. The Chiefs want to keep their momentum going, especially with Hollywood Brown stepping up. The Steelers, though, are known for showing up in big games, so it should be a good one. I’m thinking Chiefs will edge it out, maybe 24-18.

Then we’ve got the Ravens facing the Texans. Poor Texans are dealing with injuries, and C.J. Stroud has a lot on his plate. The Ravens are favored here, and I can see them winning 28-21. It’s tough for the Texans, but they’ll give it their all.

Next up, the Seahawks are up against the Bears. The Seahawks need this win to keep pace in the NFC West. The Bears have been struggling, losing nine straight. I’m betting on the Seahawks to take this one, maybe 30-23.

And don’t forget about the Chargers and Patriots. The Chargers are looking solid, and with their edge rushers, they should be able to handle the Patriots. I see a close game, but I’m going with the Chargers 24-20.

There are plenty more games to watch, like the Bengals vs. Broncos and Rams vs. Cardinals. The Bengals are still in the hunt, and the Rams are looking to bounce back after a tough loss earlier this season. It’s going to be a wild week!

So grab your snacks and settle in because this Christmas Day doubleheader is going to be one for the books!
