Weather Impacts for NFL Week 14

  • Snow and the Great Lakes go hand-in-hand this time of year and that’s exactly what we have in Week 14. Expect accumulating snow in the Buffalo game and, to a slightly lesser extent, in the Cleveland game, too. Meanwhile, the two Florida games (at Tampa; at Jacksonville) have a high chance for rain showers. The rain in Jacksonville should mostly occur during the first half. The coldest game will be in Green Bay where the Packers and Bears must endure 15-degree temps.

    This weekly NFL weather report by SportsEthos shows the weather forecast for each outdoor game. We will look for weather conditions that may help – or hinder – your fantasy players. We’ll also highlight games where weather forecasts may help us with Over/Under betting decisions.

    The forecasts for each game are immediately below. If you’re interested in how various types of weather impact scoring of skill position players, check out the list at the bottom of this article.

    NOTE: This report does not include games that are played in domes or retractable roof stadiums that are expected to have a closed roof.
