The NFL has two games on tap for Christmas Day as Week 17 of the 2024 seasons kicks off on Wednesday afternoon. Who will win the Chiefs vs Steelers and Ravens vs Texans games? We make our predictions.
The NFL starts Week 17 of the 2024 regular season with a Christmas Day doubleheader. An all-AFC type of day, the games feature three of the four division leaders, with the fourth teams actually tied for their division lead. The AFC West champion Kansas City Chiefs visit the AFC North leading Pittsburgh Steelers in the first game, while the Baltimore Ravens, locked into the playoffs and tied with the Steelers in the chase for the AFC North crown, visit the AFC South champion Houston Texans.
Wednesday will be a busy day for the AFC playoff picture as seeding starts to fall into place. Who will win each of the games today? Our contributors are back to give you their projections.
