At least that wasn't the morning game. There are a lot of Chiefs fans around me and that was a ruined Christmas. My dad and I took immense delight seeing people taking down their Chiefs decorations.
Didn't exactly ruin Christmas but it is fun to say. Out of their 3 remaining games it was the least important to win being a non conference game and I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing they got their butts kicked after 6 games in a row dominating other teams. No more MVP talk, no more generationally good offense talk, just focus on cleaning it up, playing their game and grinding out 2 more wins so they can get the bye and rest some of these guys that are banged up.
I went a different route with my bets this week. I bet small on all the underdogs and a bit bigger on the ravens and 49ers. Ravens odds are pretty good right now. I do think Miami can make that game interesting though.

Did you see the stat that Lamar was 19-1 (now 20-1) against the NFC?
The idea is that he's almost impossible to prepare for, if you don't see him regularly.

Yes, he tends to only lose divisional games. Although that has nothing to do with why the 49ers lost. Lamar had a good game, he wasn't unbeatable. The D played fairly well considering the offense and special teams kept giving the Ravens the ball at midfield or better.
