Since the NFL has three games scheduled for Christmas Day on Thursday and two on Saturday, the main slate on Sunday is quite bare — just nine games are scheduled. The early 1:00 pm window gets the lion’s share of those games (seven), leaving just two for the late window.<\/p>\n

The two games in the late window could not be more opposed in importance.<\/p>\n

The 4:05 game on CBS is a matchup between the league’s two worst teams — the New York Giants<\/a> and the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> — who both enter Week 17 with 2-13 records, scrambling for the right to secure the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.<\/p>\n

Some prognosticators are calling this game the Tank Bowl. Bottom line: The loser is the real winner in this one.<\/p>\n

The second game, at 4:25 on FOX, features the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> traveling to Buffalo to take on the Bills<\/a> and Josh Allen.<\/p>\n

Now, how many people do you think will be turning the channel at 4:25 from CBS to FOX? We’re guessing a whole lot. These two teams could find themselves in the Super Bowl this February.<\/p>\n

The Giants are on a nine-game losing streak and have lost 13 consecutive road games going back to last season. The Raiders are also on a nine-game skid. They are just 1-6 at home this year.<\/p>\n

No matter where one turns on late Sunday afternoon, Tom Brady will have some influence and interest. He is a minority owner of the Raiders, and he will be serving as the booth analyst for the Bills-Eagles game.<\/p>\n
