Weather alert South Florida/Rutgers Thursday night

[pdc]

if its raining, the under is a safe bet??????????

I go to Rutgers and its pretty windy right now, not much rain yet though.

Actually, if it is wet, the advantage goes to the offense, because they know where they are going. Route running is much harder to defend on a wet field.

It will be clear skies and sunny as F by gametime. F the weather reports, trust me, I only live 3k miles away

Most assume bad weather generally means low scoring ball games. What often happens though is the exact opposite. Turnovers lead to easy, quick scores in many cases. As noted by QH above the offense has a better advantage in the passing game because the receivers get an extra step so for passing teams this is a huge advantage. It basically comes down to matchups still though. Sometimes foul weather tends to lessen the advantage a better team has over them.

There are differences in bad weather and BAD WEATHER though.

If it's raining this is not a disadvantage to South Florida because.............well they are from Florida. If it's really cold however then this does become somewhat of a disadvantage because again they are from Florida.

Basically bad weather isn't all that much to go on by itself. Degrees of bad weather and teams playing in the bad weather still have to be considered have much more of an importance factor than the weather alone.

starting to rain hard now. And it's like 45 degrees right now. Probably will be around 40 degrees and heavy rain by game time. I'd say Under is a smart play

i am in ny its currently raining wouldn't say heavy winds but its alil windy.

[capper123]

the truth cause i just checked is a 30 percent chance of rain at game time so not enough to effect a descion. its the truth.

I placed my bet. I don't care what the weather will be like. Last I checked both teams play in the same weather, unless it is windy and rainy on just one end of the stadium.
