💰 Bears vs. 49ers weather: Betting impact for SNF

With the No. 1 seed in the NFC at stake between two Super Bowl odds contenders, it's only fitting that we'll see these teams battle it out in a cold, frosty evening by the bay.

The latest forecast calls for temperatures in the mid-50s at kickoff with a low of 36 degrees throughout the evening. While there's zero chance of rain or snow tonight and the winds should remain steady at 5 mph, the weather report calls for "patchy frost" deep into the evening with high humidity in the air.

Here's how I'd approach the weather when making your Bears vs. 49ers predictions:

Sunday Night Football weather impact

• Trust the run game. The 49ers feature one of the NFL's best running backs in Christian McCaffrey - who is featured in our first touchdown scorer predictions - while the Bears boast arguably the best rushing offense in football. Coaches love to lean on the ground game when the temperature drops, and these physical running attacks should play a key role.
• Which QB can hit the deep shot? When these late-season games turn into physical grudge matches at the line of scrimmage, you can expect both sides to sprinkle in deep shot plays to take advantage of loaded boxes and difficult conditions for defenders to keep their footing downfield. We like Caleb Williams' chances of attacking through the air in our Bears vs. 49ers player props for Sunday Night Football.
• Find reliable targets. It can be tough to secure the catch with temperatures dropping and the cool, moist air coming in from the Pacific. And with George Kittle unlikely to play alongside multiple Bears receivers, that narrows the options for these two quarterbacks. We've identified some under-the-radar options who could come up big tonight with our anytime touchdown scorer predictions for Bears vs. 49ers.
