    An arctic airmass brought the coldest air of the season to the Midwest and Northeast this weekend. Several games will be played with temperatures in the 20s and wind chill readings in the teens. The most extreme conditions will be at the Browns/Bears and Ravens/Bengals games where temps will be bitter cold and wind chills will drop to -5 and 0 degrees, respectively.

    There is good news looking ahead to Week 16. The current cold outbreak will be short-lived and next weekend looks MUCH warmer.

    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.
