A massive mid-December slate takes over the sports world with NFL Week 15, the Army–Navy rivalry, the first wave of college football bowl games, UFC action, plus key NBA, NHL, and NCAA hoops matchups. Here’s everything to watch and bet on at MyBookie.
Top Sports for the Weekend — December 12 to December 16, 2025
NFL Week 15 – December 11–15
Thursday, Dec. 11
Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers — 8:15 p.m. ET (Prime Video)
Atlanta’s looking to be the spoiler. Tampa has fallen into a tie with Carolina in the NFC South. So this game has massive meaning for Baker and the Bucs.
Sunday, Dec. 14 – 1:00 p.m. ET Window
- Cleveland Browns at Chicago Bears (CBS) — The Bears look to rebound after a tough loss versus Green Bay at Lambeau. Cleveland’s defense will have a lot to say in this game while Shadeur Sanders appears to be the answer for the Browns’ offense. Things could get dicey for Caleb and his mates.
- Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals (CBS) — The Bengals upset the Ravens on Thanksgiving Day. This game has even more meaning because the Steelers, Ravens, and Bengals are all alive for the AFC North title. Which QB steps up, Lamar or Joe Cool, will determine the outcome.
- Arizona Cardinals at Houston Texans (FOX) — The Texans are on fire after beating Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in KC in NFL Week 14. Houston has its eyes set on the AFC South title or a top wild card. Zona doesn’t appear to have much shot in this one.
- New York Jets at Jacksonville Jaguars (CBS) — Can the Jags really take home the AFC South title? Going against Trevor Lawrence and his buds has been a disaster in recent weeks. The Jets will play hard but they’re overmatched versus a suddenly spry Jags team.
- Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs (FOX) — Must win game for the Chiefs. KC’s chances of making the playoffs have fallen to under 15%. A misstep versus the Bolts will end Kansas City’s quest for another conference title.
- Washington Commanders at New York Giants (FOX) — No doubt Commanders at Giants will be entertaining. But as far as playoff implications go, there aren’t any. The G-Men are the play because D.C. just wants the season to end.
- Las Vegas Raiders at Philadelphia Eagles (CBS) — Philly has fallen to a game and a half ahead of Dallas in the NFC East. A fourth straight loss, and to the Raiders, will be a sign Jalen Hurts and his mates just aren’t the same team from a season ago.
Sunday, Dec. 14 – Late Window
- Green Bay Packers at Denver Broncos — 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS) — Sean Payton’s Denver squad looks to win their eleventh straight game. The Packers will try to control the line of scrimmage. Which defense blinks determines the winner. Lean under in what should be a chess match.
- Detroit Lions at Los Angeles Rams — 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX) — Lions vs Rams could be a shootout or a one-sided Rams win. LA will move the ball, but Detroit’s ability to respond depends on whether their offensive line holds up.
- Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints — 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX) — Tyler Shough ran for two TDs in a Saints upset win over Tampa Bay. He also led New Orleans to a win over Carolina earlier. The Panthers must play hard to beat a Saints team trending upward.
- Indianapolis Colts at Seattle Seahawks — 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS) — Things are so bad for the Colts that they signed 44-year-old Philip Rivers to pilot the offense. That’s bad news heading to Seattle to face Darnold and JSN. The Colts’ meltdown continues.
- Tennessee Titans at San Francisco 49ers — 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX) — The Niners should dominate in what could be a low-scoring game. If you’re playing fantasy, McCaffrey is the play.
Sunday Night Football — Dec. 14
Minnesota Vikings at Dallas Cowboys — 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC)
Impossible for JJ McCarthy and the Vikings’ offense to keep pace with Dak and the Cowboys. Dallas’ D is rising. Potential blowout.
Monday Night Football — Dec. 15
Miami Dolphins at Pittsburgh Steelers — 8:15 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN)
The Dolphins have won four straight and share the same record as the Chiefs. Pittsburgh must avoid a letdown after beating the rival Ravens. This game is no slam dunk for the Steelers.
🏈 College Football
Army vs Navy — Saturday, Dec. 13
A tradition unlike any other. Expect a field-position war and a low total. Army’s ground game has been more consistent; Navy’s disciplined defense keeps it tight.
Bowl Season Kickoff
Bucked Up LA Bowl — Washington vs Boise State
Saturday, Dec. 13
Washington’s vertical passing attack meets Boise State’s balanced offense. If Washington controls tempo early, this becomes a track meet.
IS4S Salute to Veterans Bowl — Troy vs Jacksonville State
Tuesday, Dec. 16
Troy brings one of the top Group of Five defenses. Jacksonville State’s mobility at QB gives upset potential.
StaffDNA Cure Bowl — Old Dominion vs South Florida
Wednesday, Dec. 16
USF wants high tempo; ODU wants control. Bulls’ perimeter speed likely decides it.
68 Ventures Bowl — Louisiana vs Delaware
Wednesday, Dec. 16
Delaware enters bowl play early in their FBS transition. Louisiana’s power run game is a challenge, but Delaware’s opportunistic defense keeps it interesting.
🏀 NBA Weekend – Spotlight: Minnesota at Golden State
Friday, Dec. 12
Minnesota’s elite defense meets Golden State’s pace and shooting. If the Wolves control the paint, Golden State must counter by pushing tempo and hitting early threes.
⚽ NHL Weekend – Spotlight: Florida at Dallas
Saturday, Dec. 13
Two Cup contenders clash. Florida pressures; Dallas defends with structure and elite goaltending. Expect playoff-style intensity.
🥊 UFC Fight Night — Brandon Royval vs Manel Kape
Saturday, Dec. 13
Royval brings chaos, activity, and scrambles; Kape brings precision and knockout counters. A perfect live-betting fight based on pace shifts.
🏀 NCAA Men’s Basketball — Saturday, Dec. 13
Arkansas at Texas Tech
Athleticism vs defense. Expect a bruising half-court war.
Arizona at Alabama
Three-point volume vs transition scoring. A must-watch elite-offense matchup.
UCLA at Gonzaga
A West Coast classic. Gonzaga’s depth edges it, but UCLA’s guards keep this competitive.

From NFL Week 15 to Army vs Navy, bowl season’s kickoff, major fights, and top hoops and hockey matchups, this is one of the most action-packed betting weekends of 2025. Lock in your plays early and check the live betting board often. December sports don’t get better than this at MyBookie.
