The latest Bills vs. Patriots weather report expects below-freezing temperatures and the chance of light snow for this pivotal Week 15 AFC East clash (1 p.m. ET, CBS) from Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. We’re breaking down the latest forecast, including expected temperature, wind, and precipitation, and how it could impact our NFL Week 15 predictions.


❄️ Bills vs. Patriots weather forecast: NFL Week 15

Latest weather forecast via NFL Weather for Week 15.

Category Forecast
🌡️ Temp. 31 degrees at kickoff with a low of 12 degrees by 4Q; feels like 21-24 degrees
💨 Wind NW winds around 15 mph with gusts up to 28 mph
🌧️ Prec. Partly cloudy, 40% chance of precipitation, chance of snow showers
☀️ Humidity 88% humidity at kickoff, 75% by 4Q

There’s a small chance of light snow or flurries around kickoff that may linger into the early afternoon, but most projections show only light accumulation if anything. Temperatures will hover just below freezing, with a brisk northwest wind that will make it feel noticeably colder and could make conditions tough on the field.

💰 Bills vs. Patriots betting impact

The AFC East could be at stake today, and what better way to settle it than a potential snow game at Gillette Stadium?

The temperature is expected to sit below freezing for most of the contest with extreme winds and a chance of snow showers in Foxborough. We could see the temperature drop as low as 12 degrees, and it'll feel like 24 degrees or colder through the fourth quarter.

Here's how I'd consider the weather when betting on our Bills vs. Patriots prediction:

  • Cold conditions favor ball control. When temperatures are this cold, coaches tend toward the short passing game or traditional run games to avoid unforced errors in a physically and mentally taxing environment for their players. That should benefit the team that can avoid the silly mistake today and control the tempo offensively. This has Phil Wood targeting two running backs with his Bills vs. Patriots player props.
  • Passing efficiency could dip. This matchup features two of the best quarterbacks in football in NFL MVP odds favorite Drake Maye and reigning winner Josh Allen, but the cold weather and chance of snow will make it difficult to grip the football - let alone toss it 40 yards downfield. Extreme wind gusts nearing 30 mph could also pose an issue for these two big-armed quarterbacks.
  • Godspeed for special teamers. Any time a game features the possibility of snow and extreme winds, it's worth keeping the kickers in your thoughts. This feels like a potential nightmare spot for these teams' special teams units, which could mean these coaches are more aggressive in short-yardage situations, as Esten McLaren expects with his Bills vs. Patriots anytime touchdown scorer predictions.
