Merry Christmas, Tis' the Season of Betting!

We have a special holiday edition coming at you from Coach Day. In-between opening presents & waiting for the Stranger Things Vol. 2 (if they kill off Steve or Dustin!!!) release, we all need a little something to keep us busy as we stuff our faces with Christmas cookies & candies. While the NFL schedule has taken a huge hit from injuries, we still have some basketball to save the day. So we have a few stocking stuffer bets & a Christmas Day parlay.

Xavier Worthy ATTD +650

What a gift this one could be. Against a stout defense with a 3rd string QB, the Chiefs will need to get tricky, & who benefits the most from some goodies in Andy Reid’s Christmas sack… WORTHY!

Chet Holmgren 20+ points +220

All eyes will be on SGA & Wemby, but it is time for Chet to shine. Just like Rudolph, he has a unique skillset meant for the big show. Look for Chet to show up ready to lead the way for his squad in the showdown of the day in the West.

Steph Curry 5+ 3’s made +125

Curry on Christmas Day… MUST BET! Over his last 3 Christmas Day games, he has averaged just over 11 three-point attempts. Look for him to put on a show in what sadly could be one of his last chances to light it up on Christmas.

Of course, saving the biggest present for last as always… The Christmas Day Parlay. A 3-legger with a mix of NFL & NBA, as we’re looking for some Christmas magic to help us all out with one extra gift into Christmas night.

We’re tipping it off early in New York with the idea of a superstar doing superstar things on the biggest day of the season for the league. Jalen Brunson 30+ pts, as sometimes you just need to go with no data other than elite guys being elite.

Next up, we’re headed for a redemption story… Max Brosmer. Yep, I’m going there for 190+ passing yards. Look, before you get crazy on me, the Lions defense is not the Seahawks at home. Brosmer will be at home & has much more experience under his belt. The Lions should be in the lead most of this game, & Brosmer would have to throw about 5 picks to get benched. We can sweat this one out with a handful of Christmas Tree Reese’s to hold us down.

That all takes us to the nightcap: the Broncos & Chiefs. As KC starts their 3rd string QB against a daunting Denver defense, we turn to the run game. RJ Harvey 50+ rushing yards feels oh so good. If the Broncos do their job, the expectation is Harvey getting 15–20 carries in this one to get outta here as quickly as possible.

Christmas Day is full of presents, sports, & now hopefully another round of giving by the guys above to all of us. Also, be on the lookout for the usual Sunday Funday parlay this weekend. Merry Christmas to all, & I hope we all have ourselves a great day of sports!
