Weather Impacts for NFL Week 4

  • Hurricane Helene’s remnants are still winding down across the Ohio Valley this weekend. None of the rains will impact NFL games except for a passing shower during Carolina’s home game and some light rain in Baltimore Sunday night. Elsewhere, one other game (Eagles at Bucs) has a chance of rain but all other games will be dry. We again have two Monday Night Football games this week but only one will be outdoors (expect fair weather in Miami)

     

    This weekly SportsEthos NFL weather report will show 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.

     

    WEEK 4 SCHEDULE

    Sunday, September 29

     

    LA Rams at Chicago Bears (1pm EDT)

    Weather: Mostly cloudy and 71 degrees. Breezy with northeast winds 15-20 mph and occasional higher gusts.

    Impacts: A nice day except for the winds. These are borderline impact winds. If the actual winds exceed this forecast at all, QB/WR/TE scoring could be slightly impacted but RB scorings would be slightly enhanced.

     

    Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers (1pm EDT)

    Weather: Sunny and 75 degrees. Northeast winds 15-20 mph.

    Impacts: Same story as in Chicago. There should not be an impact on scoring as long as the actual winds don’t exceed this forecast. However, slightly greater winds would favor RB scoring over QB/WR/TE scoring.
