Thought I might be in trouble with NFL early yesterday. Turned out all I needed to get a 3-0 sweep was Tramon Williams to catch an INT that was right in his hands and he dropped it. Football = 89-102. In Hoops yesterday the iron unkind, now 84-83.

I have verified these numbers and they are correct. Also, college hoop games are 2-10 OVER on Xmas Day the last 3 years - SL

Most recent noteworthy team trends wrapped inside each Christmas Day game…
• Bulls: 3-1 SU and ATS as non-conference dogs, but 1-4 SU and 0-5 ATS on Fridays this season.
• Cavs: LeBron James is 7-2 SU on Christmas Day, including 5-0 SU and 4-0-1 ATS vs. non-conference opponents; and 5-1 SU on Fridays this season.

DEFENDING CHAMPION DOLDRUMS
Christmas Day has not been a gifting experience for NBA’s defending champions.
That’s confirmed by their lousy 1-6 SU and 0-7 ATS mark since 2000 when facing an opponent playing with one-day rest exact.
The Cavs hope to add to that number when they visit the reigning champion Warriors at Oracle Arena Friday.
UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE
Non-conference games certainly bring the best defensive effort out in teams on Christmas Day.
Only 4 of the nineteen games played on Dec. 25 involving Eastern and Western Conference foes have managed to top the total, bringing the tally to 2-14-1 UNDER in these games since 1991.
THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING
Since 2000 teams on Christmas Day playing off back-to-back SU and ATS losses (Chicago Bulls), the last as a favorite, are 8-0 SU and ATS.
