Recently, the National Football League decided to go head-to-head with the National Basketball Association on Christmas Day. It's become a sports turf war of sorts.

The Los Angeles Lakers star had a message for the NFL as it pushes to schedule games on a holiday that's seen NBA contests for decades.

There was one good thing to come out of the subpar Wednesday football we got on Christmas. Lamar Jackson cemented his status as the best rushing QB ever. The Ravens quarterback broke Michael Vick’s all-time rushing record for quarterbacks (6,109) after his 87-yard rushing performance against the Texans.

CM Punk and Liv Morgan made media rounds on Christmas. On January 6, WWE Raw will premiere on the Netflix streaming platform. Before the company makes that official move, though, former WWE Champion CM Punk and WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan appeared on Netflix in another form.

Full NFL predictions for every Week 17 game with picks straight-up and ATS, including the huge Packers-Vikings showdown on Sunday but not before we get Chiefs-Steelers and much more on Christmas and throughout the week.
