    Santa isn’t bringing any snow or frigid weather to the NFL in Week 17. Instead of winter weather, we have rain and some gusty winds threatening to impact a few games, especially Sunday’s games in Cleveland and Buffalo.

    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.
