NFL Christmas Day Parlay: Thursday, December 25th
Leg 1: RJ Harvey 40+ Rushing Yards
RJ Harvey 40+ rushing yards stands out as a strong value play in a spot that sets up perfectly for his skill set. Harvey has cleared this number in three straight games and is averaging 63 rushing yards per contest, making this line feel far too conservative. Denver enters this Christmas Day matchup as a 13.5-point favorite, which points toward a run-heavy approach as the game progresses.
That script directly benefits Harvey, especially in the second half when Denver is likely looking to control the clock. The matchup only strengthens the case, as the Chiefs have allowed five straight opposing running backs to go over their rushing yard lines. Harvey doesn’t need a breakout performance here — a normal workload in a positive holiday game script should be more than enough to cash this leg.
Leg 2: Jared Goff 200+ Passing Yards
Jared Goff 200+ passing yards is one of the most dependable quarterback props on the board, and the Christmas Day stage only adds to the expectation that Detroit leans into its offensive identity. Goff has gone over this number in 14 of 15 games this season and is averaging 269 passing yards per game, giving this line significant breathing room.
He already showed this matchup isn’t an issue earlier in the year by throwing for 284 yards against the Vikings. With Detroit in a must-win situation to keep its playoff hopes alive, there’s no reason to expect the Lions to take their foot off the gas at any point. On a national Christmas Day slate, Detroit’s path to victory runs directly through Goff’s arm.
