Merry Christmas, Pickswise Nation! We hope you have a great day celebrating wherever you are. And to add even more excitement to the day, we have a couple of great NFL matchups to get excited for! Up first we’ll see the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1:00 pm ET. The Chiefs need a win to stay in pole position for the #1 seed in the AFC, while the Steelers will be desperate to bounce back from last Saturday’s loss to the Ravens and win the AFC North title. Speaking of Baltimore, they meet the Houston Texans at 4:30 pm ET and will want to keep the pressure on their divisional rival.

Both games will air live on Netflix and will promise to be a great day of football, with a little Beyonce halftime show sprinkled in too for good measure!
