    Fact: One in every 7 NFL Games is a Rain or Snow Game
    Here is an NFL Weather Study


    According to the study...
    During the last 1473 outdoor games the average PPG was 41.4
    219 were Rain or Snow games....

    One in every seven outdoor games played was a rain or snow game.

    The average score for rain games was 37.2 = more than 4 points lower
    than the 41.4 avg for outdoor games.

    The average score for snow games was 37.9 = more than 4 points lower
    than the 41.4 avg for outdoor games.

    But here is really interesting part.... The study included warm weather fields
    where the rain is warm.... ie. Tampa, Mami,AZ,San Diego,OAK, SF0, CAR, SEA.

    Take those out and we are talking 7 point advantage !!!!

    Why... because every knows that wet and freezing cold is totally different
    from being wet and warm!

    Wind

    77 of the 1473 outdoor games had wind greater than 20mph
    (about one per week)
    The weighted average of those game totals is 35.3, more than 6 points lower
    than the 41.4 avg of outdoor games.

    Take out the warm field games listed above... everybody knows
    that cold and windy is Soooo much more nasty than warm and windy games.

    Now your 6pt wind advantage looks more like a solid nine point advantage.

    Now go back and take out teams where both are the running teams...
    Which will up your odds another 2 points. (can't pass in wind and rain)

    Conclusions
    --------------
    Remebeir (look it up at covers) that it is a fact that the line before weather games never drops more than 2 or at most 3 points.

    NFL
    Conclusions... bet on games in cool weather towns, where at least one team is a a passing team and you should see 20 NFL games a year > 8 point net totals advantage over any sports book.

    College
    Even better points on College weather games.
    (rookie QBs, many who will never make the pros due to small hand, poor fields)

    Should see 60+ College games a year > 10 point net totals advantage over sports books. (who again never drop totals more than 2pts or 3pts)

    ----------------------------------------
    Find out North/South orientation of all stadiums (cross winds best adv.)
    Then use the Internet to watch radar, wind, cross wind and rain for every college and NFL Game in real time. Bet 20 mins before game time by watchhing storms approach the stadium on doppler radar !

    What is your opinion ?

            i am actually very interested in this thread . awesome effort, will keep track and offer input. we should start collecting stadium info concerning wind orientation etc. if you need any weather questions answered my dad is a meteorologist--great angle here i think

                Thanks Stefan... I can save you a lot of effort because I have completed my
                research of FBS - Division I-A stadiums. All teams except the following 11 face
                due north south. (see table below).

                My database has 244 teams (120 FBS & 124 FCS) I don't have stadium info
                for FCS but would suspect that at least 90% are N-S.

                Would you care to do research on the FCS? If so I could provide you with
                my 2010 database in MS Access format? (or comma delimited data format)

                www.sportscal.com is coming out (next 3 weeks) with a free downloadable schedule of events for 2010 college. (in CSV data format)

                I am planning on rating all teams for passing ability against real time wind and weather conditions... all season long.

                Going to put it all up on the web for free (this year) including live radar, airport
                weather and PWS Personsal Weather (PWS) for every college game this year.

                With the result that all games, weather and ratings can be seen at a glance on game day!

                Of 120 FBS stadiums only the following 11 are East-West. The rest are N-S.

                Florida - Atlantic
                Clemson - Tigers
                Connecticut - Huskies
                Georgia - Bulldogs
                Oregon - Ducks
                Oklahoma State - Cowboys
                San Diego State - Aztecs
                FIU - Golden Panthers
                USC - Trojans
                Washington - Huskies
                Washington - State Cougars
                Western Michigan Broncos


                Though the real time display of radar and weather for each game will be automated there will be quite a need for data entry with regards to "passing ratings & against the pass ratings" for each team, all season long.

                Also doing the same for NFL !

                P.M. me if your interested !

                  I don't own the study or know the owners ... so I can't tell you about the details.

                  But look at my last post if your actually interested in doing something with
                  weather data this year !
