Show closing and Friday preview

Peace on Earth and mercy mild, gambling gods and bettors reconciled! This NFL Week 17 features a special treat, as Santa slides down our gambling chimneys carrying a full three-game slate of Christmas Day NFL games to bet on!

As always, NFL betting expert Chad Millman is joined by professional sports gambler Simon Hunter to discuss the latest spreads for games on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in NFL Week 17. Together the duo provide initial betting picks and predictions for as they march towards crowning a champion in the free SHARP OR SQUARE PRO FOOTBALL PICK 'EM CONTEST at https://sharporsquare.thevolume.com/

Today's betting action begins with Christmas Day games this Thursday, starting with Dak Prescott and the eliminated Dallas Cowboys taking on the battered Washington Commanders. Next up are the Detroit Lions, still reeling from an unlikely home loss as they take on J.J. McCarthy and the Minnesota Vikings. Christmas evening we've got Bo Nix facing emergency quarterback Chris Oladokun, with the Denver Broncos in Kansas City to play the Chiefs as huge favorites. Later, we hear about Saturday's games between the Houston Texans and LA Chargers, as C.J. Stroud battles Justin Herbert in an AFC showdown.

Plus, Saturday night features Malik Willis looking to rally the Green Bay Packers at home against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills look to stay in the AFC East race with a win over Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles, plus Jaxson Dart and the lowly New York Giants try to tank their game against the Las Vegas Raiders in a battle for #1 NFL Draft position in 2026. We also get bets for the battle between Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars facing the ageless Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts. Plus, can Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers keep the Pittsburgh Steelers hot against Shedeur Sanders and the Cleveland Browns? And will the New England Patriots and Drake Maye keep soaring against the New York Jets? All that, plus picks for Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears versus the San Francisco 49ers in this week's episode! #Volume
