It'll be a Christmas weekend to remember in the NFL as Week 16 kicks off with plenty of playoff possibilities under the tree.
The biggest game on Santa's list is the Christmas Eve matchup between NFC East rivals and the top two teams in that division: the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys.
The Eagles were the first team in the NFL to clinch a playoff spot, sporting the league's best record. They can win the NFC East by beating the Cowboys on Saturday.
The Philly at Dallas game highlights an 11-game Christmas Even slate. There will be three more games on Christmas Day, plus the traditional Thursday and Monday night games to round out Week 16.
FrontPageBets takes a look at the opening betting lines and odds for this holiday week.
