The first few weeks of fall usually bring tranquil weather to most locations. That’s true this week as just two games may be impacted by weather conditions. A cluster of showers should move through Green Bay on Sunday and could cause enough rain to slightly impact the game. Also, it will be breezy on Monday night for the Bills/Jets game. The forecast winds are right at the threshold for impacting player performance (see below for details).
As a reminder, 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 6 SCHEDULE
Sunday, October 13
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Chicago Bears (London; 930am EDT)
Weather: Partly cloudy and 52 degrees with west winds around 10 mph.
Impacts: The time zone difference might cause a problem for players (Bears more than the Jags?) but London’s weather should be a non-factor.
Arizona Cardinals at Green Bay Packers (1pm EDT)
Weather: Messiest game of the week. Cloudy with an 80% chance of showers. Temps around 54 degrees with west winds 10-20 mph.
Impacts: Rainfall amounts could be around ¼” during the game. That’s probably not enough to significantly impact the game but it might slightly reduce scoring for QBs and WR/TEs with a corresponding slight increase in scoring for RBs.
