The Christmas games on Monday
Raiders at Chiefs
Time: Monday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS), streaming on Paramount+ (click here)
Open: Chiefs -10, O/U 42.5
Recommended Game | Kansas City Chiefs vs. Las Vegas Raiders
“The Chiefs got back on track last week against the Patriots and can now apply pressure to get on top. They beat the Raiders on the road earlier in the year, but the Raiders are a better defense now. The Chiefs win, but it's close.” – CBS Sports Senior NFL Analyst Pete Prisco explains why the Chiefs get past Las Vegas, but only by a field goal. Click here to see all of his picks for Week 16 .
Giants at Eagles

Open: Eagles -10.5, O/U 43.5
Recommended Game | Philadelphia Eagles vs. New York Giants
“I don’t care if Jalen Hurts needs a dictionary for the word ‘commitment,’ this is a boost for the Eagles. Life has been tough in Philadelphia these past three weeks, there's no doubt about it. But the Eagles are so much better than this Giants team. New York is 2-6 ATS this season and just 1-3 ATS as a double-digit underdog. The Eagles have been put on notice and are entering the home stretch of a very winnable schedule to secure the NFC East. Home, give me Philly to finally get it right. – CBS Sports NFL writer Jordan Dajani has Philadelphia rallying with a big win over the Giants that breaks the double-digit margin.

Ravens at 49ers
Time: Monday, 8:15 p.m. ET (ABC, ESPN), stream on fubo (try for free)
Open: 49ers -5, O/U 45.5
Recommended Game | San Francisco 49ers vs. Baltimore Ravens
“As fun as this battle should be, I feel like this game will come down to whether Baltimore can run the ball on the 49ers defense. The Ravens are averaging 163.8 yards per game on the ground this year, which ranks first in the NFL by MORE THAN 20 YARDS. That's right, no other team even averages 143 yards per game. The Ravens are 9-1 when rushing for at least 130 yards this season, but 1-2 when they don't. When they are able to move the ball on the floor, they play with a lot of confidence. However, I'm not so sure they can move the ball on the ground against a 49ers team that ranks third in the NFL in stopping the run this year.” – That's just a small part of John Breech's choice for this game; You can read the rest and all of his tips here.
