This article will serve the same purpose as last week’s with the nfl weather report for each game in week 9. Weather can affect the game if it is rainy, windy or the temperature is cold. The later we get into the season the cooler the temperatures will be for teams that play outdoors in the northern portion of the United States. Let’s take a look at this week’s games and see how the weather may play a part in the decisions.
Raiders vs 49ers: The weather in Santa Clara on Thursday is a high of 84 with a 0% chance of rain and winds out of the NW at 11 mph. The weather will not play a contributing factor to the outcome of the game.
Bears vs Bills: The weather for Buffalo for Sunday is partly cloudy with a high of 50 a 10% chance of rain and winds out of the SSE at 9 mph. Weather should not play a factor in the outcome of this game.
Jets vs Dolphins: The weather for Miami on Sunday is scattered thunderstorms with a high of 82, a 60% chance of rain and wind out of the E at 11 mph. With rain likely I look for the teams to turn to their running game which could be good for the Jets as the Dolphins have one of the worst run defenses in the NFL. I also look for the under to be in play here.
Chiefs vs Browns: The weather for Cleveland on Sunday is projected to be cloudy with a high of 54 with a 20% chance of rain and wind out of the SSE at 15 mph. Wind could play a minor factor in this one which could inturn affect the passing game. I look for the Chiefs to run the ball in this one as the Browns have one of the worst rush defenses.
Falcons vs Redskins: The weather for Landover on Sunday is mostly sunny, with a 0% chance of rain and wind out of the E at 3 mph. Weather will not play a factor in the outcome of this game.
Lions vs Vikings: The weather for Minneapolis on Sunday is morning showers, with a high of 45 and wind out of the WNW at 8 mph. If the weather is bad, the dome will be closed, so weather will not play a factor in this one.
Buccaneers vs Panthers: The weather for Charlotte on Sunday is sunny with a high of 65, a 10% chance of rain and wind out of the ENE at 6 mph. Weather will not play a contributing factor to the outcome of the game.
Steelers vs Ravens: The weather for Sunday in Baltimore is mostly sunny, with a high of 60, a 10% chance of rain and wind out of the E at 5 mph. Weather will not play a contributing factor in the outcome of this game.
Texans vs Broncos: The weather for Denver on Sunday is projected to be partly cloudy, with a high of 58, a 0% chance of rain and wind out of the SSW at 7 mph. Weather will not affect the outcome of this game.
Chargers vs Seahawks: The weather for Seattle on Sunday is showers, with a high of 52, a 60% chance of rain and wind out of the SSW at 9 mph. The field conditions will be sloppy, so the running game will play a major factor and the under is likely a strong play.
Rams vs Saints: The game will be in a dome, so weather will not be a factor.
Packers vs Patriots: The weather for Foxboro on Sunday is Sunny with a high of 54, a 0% chance of rain and wind out of the W at 6 mph, so weather will not play a factor in this game.
Titans vs Cowboys: The weather in Dallas for Monday is projected to have am thunderstorms, with a high of 74, a 50% chance of rain and wind out of the SSW at 14 mph, weather will not play a factor since this game is played at night.
