I'm posting now because I think the line will move up at least another point by Saturday.
NFL YTD: 25-20 +1.6 units
4* Chiefs -7 (-120)
Kansas City finally has its offense in gear, scoring 94 points the last two weeks alone. The Chiefs catch another miserable defense here in Oakland. The unusual circumstance of a Christmas Day game probably favors the home team. Oakland has been awful the last few weeks and only won on Sunday against Tennessee because when two bad teams play, somebody has to win. KC's defense will give up points but that's not an entirely bad thing because it will force the offense to remain aggressive. Adverse weather conditions are likelier to hamper the Raiders. (It will be cold.)
KC hasn't quit despite a disappointing season and will try to build on its thrashing of Denver. Oakland is a messed up team that put out a good effort at home but is likely to be very flat in a road game and might quit if they fall behind in cold weather. My pick: Chiefs by 27.
