Yeah the nfl matchups for tomorrow is weak compared to the nba matchups

I don’t think anyone expected half those teams to be this bad this year. Commanders/Chiefs both had deep playoff runs, Vikings were 14-3 and Lions 15-2, and Cowboys… they still sucked. 

4 months ago, the NFL Christmas games looked like marquee match-ups. Kinda nutty how that turned out

And Every NFL game will be viewed more than every NBA game.

Not sure what your point is.

For decades (to me) Christmas has always been NBA and Thanksgiving was football. I like that balance.

And the NFL games will still vastly outperform the NBA games in terms of viewership unfortunately

Long as folks can gamble doesnt even matter who’s playing

How is Knicks Cavs worse than Mavs Warriors?

It’s tough with the NFL this late in the season because a good number of teams are out of contention. 

Dak Prescott vs Josh Johnson
Jared Goff vs Max Brosmer
Bo Nix vs Chris Oladokun

😂😂 will be enjoying nba christmas day games as usual

Wow brosmer slander in r/nba? damn

The worst NBA Christmas game is Mavericks/Warriors.

I think each of the other four games is a compelling matchup between legitimate playoff contenders.

It’s sad that even bad NFL games will get more views than marquee NBA games.

Basketball upstairs and football down stairs tomorrow for us. Lots of family coming over and die gard fans of ball no matter how bad the teams are.

lol @ how many NBA vs. NFL ppl are in here. Millions of people watch both

Yeah, you can’t beat Goofy crossing up Donald and posterizing Mickey (or at least my son thinks so)

Oh are the superstars going to actually play tomorrow?

If im Adam Silver im PISSED at Roger Goodell for encroaching on my day and audience like this

Lions are dead in the water after that Steelers loss

The best thing about basketball compared to football is that the athletes are less likely to kill themselves in retirement

NFL on Christmas is so stupid. Almost like they trying to bully the NBA.

Yes, and I love that Netflix is streaming a big pile of dogshit on Christmas.

I’ll be watching hoops all day.

They are no doubt about it but the nfl will draw 10 times the viewers as the nba games

My family will all sit around the tree and root against lebum James and the fakers together

ngl I wonder why the NFL does Christmas Day games when you previously had a gentleman’s agreement between them and the NBA that football gets Thanksgiving while basketball gets Christmas

Doesn’t help that the NFL season is basically in garbage time while the NBA season is only partway through

The Mavs Warriors Game is definitely a worse game.

I feel like I’m in r/squaredcircle with the constant bickering about  viewership and ratings 

All of those matchups would have been good at the beginning of the season with the hype. That’s why the ticket sales are plummeting

Go Knicks!

This year absolutely

Yea I agree way better matchups but nfl will still pull bigger numbers.

Shoulda been Knicks vs Pistons

I wish NBA and NFL will go public in stock markets so we can have more unhinged useless posts like this

You’re right. But as a true NFC North rival hater, I’m genuinely going to be excited if the Vikings can even keep it a little close against the Lions so I can dunk on anyone from Michigan at my family parties. But yes, NBA schedule is waaay more fun.

Well the NBA and basketball are infinitely superior to the NFL and football and Im tired of people not seeing it lmao

Broncos/chiefs should have been a great game.

Ok and?

Good. NFL needs to fuck off.

Christmas is an NBA day, not an NFL day.

Damn, this was hard to read without punctuation or formatting.

The NFL owns thanksgiving, and that Lions Packers game was genuinely fantastic. I don’t think there’s anyone disputing that they pretty much own one of the biggest American holidays, not to mention they own Sundays too. That being said the NBA on Christmas has been electric. Especially since a lot of the upcoming matchups on Christmas for Football seemed like must watches prior to the season, and now it’s a lot of teams eliminated from contention aside from just the Broncos. The Chiefs had the worst PFF grade last week, the Lions secondary is starting Beer League All Pro uncles, the Commies and Vikings don’t have their starting QBs, and the Cowboys are pretty much dead in the water.

It’s true but the NFL generally crushes in terms of ratings regardless of shit matchups 🤷‍♂️

F*CK the NFL for doing games on Christmas, and then doing it and not even scheduling relevant games

From a sports standpoint, Christmas is, has always been, and forever will be a day of the NBA. The NFL can take a hike, except for when the holiday falls on a Sunday

Lions Vikings will be bananas, does no one remember the Matt Flynn game?

Spurs/Thunder then Lions/Vikings have my attention. The rest I’ll tune in and out of.

You have to remember a large portion of America is interested in Football only so the NFL will still get higher ratings than most if not all the marquee NBA games

HELL YEAH! WE GONNA HAVE A NICE AND TOASTY X MAS TOMORROW GANG!🎅🏻😮‍💨

And yet way more people are going to watch the NFL games.

Can I watch them on Amazon or league pass? That’s all I got.

I love when people copy and paste podcast takes into posts and vice versa

Nba has owned Christmas for awhile

wait…wasn’t Christmas always the NBA’s thing?

NFL has games?

These schedules are made well in advance. I don’t think the NFL thought the Cowboys would be eliminated at this point, nor did they think that the Vikings would be this bad. Both teams have been perennially competitive over the last few seasons. So, it’s really just shit luck that these games have no real jeopardy and the stakes are low.

And the shittiest of luck of course is Mahomes getting hurt.

But football is better, you’ll never be #1 nba, dream on just check the ratings

I thought that was true even last year. The NBA games had me way more locked in than the NFL games. Although it helps that I’m a Knicks fan so the “worst” of the games is bound to be my favorite

Max brosmer catching a stray makes this art 

This year yes I agree, I will be choosing to watch my Spurs over my Cowboys tomorrow in an actual relevant game!

While this is true, it’s not really the NFL’s fault. The season is basically over by this time for the NFL, while it’s just getting started for the NBA. The schedule has been planned for months.

They also couldn’t predict that these teams would be injury decimated like this– these are all divisional games that could, in theory, have had major implications when the schedule was planned.

Nfl matchups are weak for sure but so is regular season NBA lol

Before the season, all three matchups looked like bangers. A lot can change.

I agree and I think the main problem is the NBA season is getting revved up around xmas but the NFL seeding is almost decided already. So matchups that look “good” in September seem good until December when you realize the teams are either lopsided or both garbage and the games are meaningless.

i’m gonna get downvoted but Football (tbh NFL in general) is the second most boring sport to watch, after baseball.

NBA on Christmas is the best part of Christmas. I love the NFL, but I’ll never watch it on Christmas. So sad my team isn’t playing this year though

All 3 NFL games were extremely compelling and marquee matchups when the season started though. Nobody predicted that the Chiefs, Lions, Vikings, and Commanders would completely implode this year.

I used to be an NFL fan, and while I’m 100% glad that they got rid of the old name for the Washington Professional Football Team, talking about the “Cowboys Commanders rivalry” really calls attention to just how fucking stupid a name “Commanders” is. Jesus Christ, billionaires can hire a whole fucking room full of people to come up with a decent name, and this was the best they could do? Oof.

Eh injuries happen. I’m a huge Nuggets fan but expect them to get blown out tomorrow, they’re missing 3 starters.

I’m glad the nfl games suck, that’s what they deserve.

The NFL is the most boring sport of all time. Literally nothing happens that you haven’t seen a million times before. There’s no tension. It sucks

What’s your point?

The mere fact that USA leagues don’t have relegation no matter how much you suck needs to be studied, let alone the national anthem being sung at every game is kinda annoying. The finals I’d understand. Maybe it’s because they think national competitions equals “world championship” 🤷🏾

The NFL can pry my cold dead eyes from the NBA on Christmas Day. It’s always been about the NBA and the fam. NFL will never be seen on Christmas!

This proves Adam Silver deserves the Commissioner of the year over the NFL’s commissioner
