A full slate of NFL action on Christmas Eve? That sounds amazing … or is it?
As a parent, football all day (and night) while getting ready for Christmas morning sounds good at first, but is there a chance that my wife and I will enjoy it “too much” today?
Probably.
So, even more importantly for us, we’re going to go ahead and peruse the latest NFL odds to pinpoint the smartest Saturday bets right now to ensure we have the time to take care of what needs to get done on Christmas Eve.
With this in mind, here are the two best NFL picks for Saturday’s Christmas Even slate.
NFL Odds & Picks for Saturday
*Odds as of Saturday morning
Lions vs. Panthers Pick
1 p.m. ET | FOX
Both the 7-7 Detroit Lions and 5-9 Carolina Panthers are still in the NFC playoff picture (somehow), so this game really does matter!
With that said, the best value for Lions vs. Panthers appears to be a bet on a lower-scoring game.
This total opened at 44.5, but the under has attracted enough smart money to convince oddsmakers to drop the line to 43.5, and even to 43 in some spots (click here for live NFL odds).

Commanders vs. 49ers Pick
4:05 p.m. ET | CBS
We’re right back to totals as another under has caught the eyes of the wiseguys.
Sharps steamed the Commanders vs. 49ers under on multiple occasions this week, driving this total from 40.5 to the latest consensus line of 37.5.
While it may not be the sexiest NFL pick of Week 16, points may be hard to come by in this Saturday matchup.
PRO Report Pick: Under 37.5
