Saturday Games Unlikely to Be Impacted by Weather

The three Saturday games aren’t likely to be impacted much by the weather. The late game between the Cardinals and Rams is undercover at SoFi Stadium. The forecast in Cincinnati for Broncos vs Bengals calls for 60° temperatures, a slim 30% chance of rain, and modest 8-10 mph winds.

The only Saturday game where weather could be a significant factor is Chargers vs Patriots in Foxborough, MA. The temperature is expected to be just 40°, the coldest of the week, which could be uncomfortable for the warm-weather Chargers. There’s also a 50% chance of rain, which will make gripping the ball all the more difficult in the almost-freezing temperatures.

The Chargers vs Patriots odds list the game total at 43.5. The Chargers have been one of the best under bets in the NFL all year (6-9 O/U) though the Pats are 9-6 to the over. Even if the weather were perfect, I would be targeting the under. LAC’s offense scored 34 points last time out against Denver, but

Wind Could Wreak Havoc in DC, Cleveland

The temperatures across the country are unseasonably warm for the middle of winter. Even Orchard Park in Buffalo is expected to be about 54° by kickoff on Sunday afternoon. The most-impactful weather in the forecast may be the wind in the Falcons/Commanders game in the nation’s capital, and the Dolphins/Browns matchup in Cleveland. The Week 17 NFL odds show the Falcons/Commanders game total as high as 47.0, while the Dolphins/Browns total is as high as 44.5.

Michael Penix Jr will be making just his second career start for Atlanta, and first against a half-decent opponent after going 18-of-27 for 202 yard, no touchdowns, and one interception against the Giants in Week 16.
