This season, we have three NFL Christmas games: Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders, Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings, and Kansas City Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos.
At full strength, these would be more exciting matchups, but the Commanders, Vikings, and Chiefs will all have backup quarterbacks under center.
In fact, Josh Johnson (Commanders), Chris Oladokun (Chiefs), and Max Brosmer (Vikings) were all third-string quarterbacks at some point this season.
Despite the lopsided QB play, there’s plenty of money to be had with my best NFL player props for Christmas Day.
Best NFL Christmas Player Props 2025
All NFL odds used for these Christmas player props bets are current as of Tuesday, Dec. 23, and courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Javonte Williams: Anytime TD (-185) @ Commanders
Williams has owned the Cowboys’ backfield this season.
He has handled 74.7% of the Cowboys’ running back carries and is tied for fourth on the team in targets with 49.
In all, he’s run 239 times for 1,147 yards and 10 touchdowns and has added 35 catches for 137 yards and two additional scores.
Now, he’ll battle a Commanders’ defense that has allowed a rushing touchdown to opposing running backs in six straight games and in eight of their last nine.
The Cowboys are favorites of nearly a touchdown on the road, so I’m making this my NFL pick of the day.
Jordan Addison: Anytime TD (+300) vs Lions
At +300 odds, this wager is absolutely worth making on Christmas Day.
In Brosmer’s first start on the road against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13, Addison led the team in targets, catching five of 10 passes for 36 yards.
This season, Addison leads the Vikings in air yards per target at 13.71, and over their last three games, the Lions have allowed three touchdown passes (tied for third-most) on passes that sail 13 yards or longer through the air.
The Lions’ offense will do enough to force the Vikings to throw, and Brosmer could toss one downfield to Addison for a score.

Marvin Mims Jr.: 3+ Receptions (+104) @ Chiefs
Last week, Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant suffered a serious head/neck injury and will miss some time.
Over the last two games, when Bryant was not on the field, Mims saw eight targets and made six catches for 52 yards.

His air yards per target were just 5.50 against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, so he could be used a bit differently with Bryant off the field as opposed to his typical role as a vertical threat.
This line opened at 1.5 receptions, which I felt much better about, but these plus-money odds for three-plus catches are worth a half-unit wager.
