NFL Christmas Day Prop Party: Lions' offense as gift that keeps on giving
With Christmas Day landing on a Thursday, the NFL's gifted football fans a three-game Christmas slate. The contests don't feature this year's marquee teams, but we've still got you covered with props from each matchup.

π Bet: Over 79.5 receiving yards
Before last week's 51-yard outing, Lamb had recorded at least 111 yards in three straight games. He's averaging 85.6 receiving yards per game this season. Even though the Cowboys aren't playing for anything after being eliminated from playoff contention, they'll continue to rely on the passing game to move the chains, especially against the league's seventh-worst passing defense. Lamb recorded five catches for 110 yards when he faced Washington earlier this season.
π Bet: Over 49.5 receiving yards
McLaurin has consistently produced when available, regardless of who's at quarterback. He's accumulated at least 50 yards in five of his last six games. He should have similar success against the Cowboys' defense, which allows the most passing yards per game in the NFL.
π Bet: Over 242.5 passing yards
It's hard for oddsmakers to place a number on Goff's passing totals, but this one is too low. Goff's thrown for more than 250 yards in his last eight games and is averaging 269 passing yards on the season. While the Vikings' passing defense is better than its rushing defense, there's plenty of yardage to go around for Detroit, which averages the third-most yards per game.
π Bet: Over 34.5 rushing yards
Although Jahmyr Gibbs is the Lions' primary running back, they rely on a split backfield and sometimes reward Montgomery with more carries. That was the case the last time the Lions played the Vikings, as Montgomery earned 11 carries compared to Gibbs' nine. Gibbs' carries have dropped the last few weeks. I'd expect that to continue while Montgomery shoulders a bigger workload against a bottom-third rushing defense.
π Bet: Under 37.5 rushing yards
Pacheco hasn't rushed for 38 yards in his last four games. He's only eclipsed that mark four times this season. He'll have an even harder time reaching it against the Broncos' second-best rushing defense. This is a completely meaningless game for the Chiefs, giving them no reason to rely on the run, especially when they'll be trailing for most of the night.
π Bet: Over 4.5 receptions
Sutton has become Bo Nix's top option of late. He's caught at least five passes for 62 yards in each of the past four games. This is an important game for the Broncos and a meaningless one for the Chiefs, so Denver should lay a beatdown on a bruised Chiefs squad.
