The first biggest match of the week is, unfortunately for some fans, between two struggling teams in Week 16 of the 2018 NFL Regular Season.

2| NBA: Golden State Warriors vs. Los Angeles Lakers
NBA’s most expensive Christmas Day game in the past years—according to a number of ticket-selling sites—will see reigning champions Golden State Warriors (21-11) face the storied Los Angeles Lakers (18-13) at the Oracle Arena in California.
The meeting will be the first time LeBron James—Lakers’ superstar acquisition—meets his star-laden tormentors in his new team. James’ Cleveland Cavaliers lost three NBA Finals series to the Warriors in the four times they met in four years, winning only one in 2016.
3| UFC 232: Jones vs. Gustafsson 2
On December 29, Jon Jones (22-1-0, 1 NC) will return to the Octagon at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas after more than a year to claim the will-be vacant UFC Light Heavyweight title that was once his. Standing on his way is Alexander Gustafsson (18-4-0).
The co-main event on that night will be the UFC Women’s Featherweight Championship fight between current champion Cris Cyborg (20-1-0, 1 NC) and Women’s Bantamweight titleholder Amanda Nunes (16-4-0).
Odds for these matches are now available on many online sportsbooks. Interested bettors can check mBit Casino, William Hill, 1xBit, and other online casinos for wagering options and bonuses.
