Weather Impacts for NFL Week 16
Last Updated on December 21, 2024 6:16 pm by Jon Mosales | Published: December 21, 2024
Weather may factor in more games than usual this weekend. It’s late December and the coldest weekend of the season thus far is upon us. Games in Baltimore (Saturday) as well as Buffalo, New York City and Washington, DC (Sunday) will be cold and/or windy enough that overall scoring may be impacted. Also, a rainy afternoon in Seattle could impact scoring in the Vikings/Seahawks game.
The forecasts for each outdoor game are shown 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.
This weekly SportsEthos NFL weather report 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.
