Hopefully you’ll wake Christmas morning to find lots of gifts under your tree.

Those faithfully following The Victim’s picks, however, are well aware our pigskin prognosticator has been playing Santa with his advice since September. While there’s no denying the joy of unwrapping your favorite toy or the latest electronic gadget, there’s even more excitement in NFL fans’ eyes when the little gambling elves piece together a winning weekend of gridiron action.

So with jolly ole Saint Nick loading his sleigh for a late night run around the globe, The Victim Claus offers a few early presents to help pay down those holiday shopping bills;

Kansas City (-6 ½) over Oakland
New England (+3) over Jacksonville
San Francisco (-4) over Arizona
Cincinnati (+3) over Denver
Philadelphia (+7) over Dallas
NY Jets (+2 ½) over Miami

Thursday night: 1-0
Season Record: 46-32
