NFL Christmas Games 2024
There will be two NFL games on Christmas Day this year, both exclusively streamed on Netflix. While these games will attract viewers across the country, they will be particularly popular for Maryland sports betting as the Baltimore Ravens will take a trip to Houston for an AFC Divisional Round rematch with the Texans. Here is the full NFL Christmas schedule for 2024.
| 🏈 Game | ⌚ Kickoff Time | 📺 How to Watch |
| Chiefs at Steelers | 1:00 p.m. ET, 9:00 a.m. PT | Netflix |
| Ravens at Texans | 4:30 p.m. ET, 1:30 p.m. PT | Netflix |
Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers: 1:00 p.m. ET
Kicking things off on Christmas Day, the Chiefs will head east to take on the Steelers in what is setting up to be a massive AFC matchup. Pittsburgh is battling against Baltimore for the top seed in the AFC North, while Kansas City is trying to fend off Buffalo for the top overall seed in the AFC playoff race.
Although the Steelers lead this matchup with an all-time record of 23-14, the Chiefs have won three straight, including a Wild Card beatdown in 2022.
You can use the widget below to find the best price for several markets for the Steelers/Chiefs game on Christmas.
Baltimore Ravens at Houston Texans
In another high-profile AFC bout, Baltimore will travel to Houston for the second and final NFL Christmas game of the day. This game could also have postseason ramifications as the Ravens playoff picture could be swung by this game. If the playoffs were to start today (Week 16), the Ravens would be the fifth seed in the AFC playoff race. Baltimore now trails the Steelers by a game with Pittsburgh currently holding one of the tiebreakers thanks to a Week 11 win over the Ravens.

How to Watch the NFL on Christmas Day
Both NFL Christmas Day games will be streamed exclusively on Netflix. In fact, Netflix signed a contract with the NFL to broadcast at least one Christmas game for the next three years. While nobody batted an eye over this news when it was first announced, the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson debacle has completely changed that. It's safe to say that if Netflix can't figure out the buffering issues that made the Paul/Tyson fight unwatchable, Christmases will be ruined across the country.
How to Bet on Christmas Day NFL Games
Betting on the Christmas Day NFL games will be as simple as every other NFL game. As long as you are in a legal betting state, you will be able to get in on the action through whichever means are regulated. If you find yourself in Maryland for the holiday, this means you can place wagers in person at one of the several retail sportsbooks throughout the state or from the comfort of your couch with Maryland betting apps.
