NFL Christmas Day Games: Matchups, Betting Odds for 2025

The NFL schedule drop is always much anticipated, as we get to pencil in every team's schedule and set our appointment viewing months in advance.

That definitely applies to Christmas Day, which falls on a Thursday this year.

The NFL's gift to us? Three games.

Dallas Cowboys at Washington Commanders

The Dallas Cowboys will head to Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland to face the Washington Commanders to start the Christmas Day slate of games this year.
