On Saturday, the Kansas City Chiefs will host the Seattle Seahawks. Kickoff is scheduled for Noon Arrowhead Time. The game will be on FOX — locally on WDAF/4. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Chiefs are favored by 10 points.

There are two late-afternoon games on Saturday: the Washington Commanders (7-6-1) visiting the San Francisco 49ers (10-4) on CBS — locally on KCTV/5 — and the Dallas Cowboys (10-4) hosting the Philadelphia Eagles (13-1) on FOX. That game will air locally on WDAF/4.

Then NFL Network will have a national matchup on Saturday night — and it ought to be a good one: the Las Vegas Raiders (6-8) in Pennsylvania to play the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-8). Kickoff will be at 7:15 p.m.

At Noon on Christmas, the Miami Dolphins (8-6) will host the Green Bay Packers (6-8) (FOX and WDAF/4). At 3:30, it will be the Denver Broncos (4-10) in California to take on the Los Angeles Rams (4-10) (CBS and KCTV/5).
