Christmas Eve/Day Games this year...

[Blackman]

Pretty interesting....one game this year on Christmas Eve and two on Christmas Day...



December 24th - Green Bay vs Minnesota 3pm
December 25th - Raiders vs Chiefs 4 pm
December 25th - Titans vs Broncos 8pm


Some great matchups but I question if they will get the ratings.



Eagles open the season at home vs the Giants on Sept 12th at 4:15 ---- counting the days already.

After this holiday season, I can see a spike in the divorce rate in 2005...

Will NBA have traditional Xmas games? They will get killed if they go head to head with NFL...

This may be one of the best Holiday seasons I remember. Between December 24 and January 2, you have 2 full regular season weeks in the NFL plus all the bowl games. The NFL and sportsbooks have to love the scheduling this year; football-hating wives and girlfriends will be tortured.

I am watching all of them.

Merry Christmas to us.

Oh I'll be watching too - I mean come on I watched the Blue/Gray Classic and the Holiday Bowl this year on Christmas --- nothing better than ending the holiday with a little NFL action at 8 pm.

I tend to think the opposite. I think it'll be just like Thanksgiving. Holidays and football are a great combo.

8pm on Christmas Night I would agree....but 3pm on Christmas Eve is going to be tough to get a lot of viewers in my opinion.

after 12:00 christmas is a traditional bore for me. i greatly look forward to the beloved raiders playing on this typically unexciting day for me.:tongue

Blackman, you're right. Xmas eve will be tougher, but Christmas Day should be a winner for the league. Like Elvis, once the morning is over, the day tends to slow down. It'll be a nice pick-me-up (like on Thanksgiving).
