Temperatures will hover right around the freezing mark throughout the Chargers-Patriots clash that will cap off Sunday's playoff action. That's on the tolerable side for the usually frostier northeast in early January. But the wind will be the real weather factor as you make your Chargers vs. Patriots prediction.
Chargers vs. Patriots weather impact
- Kickers will need to battle gusts. It'll get dicey fast if a kicking attempt is timed poorly with the gusting wind, which could reach up to 25 mph. The Chargers should feel comfortable with Cameron Dicker and his fifth-ranked 92.7% accuracy regardless of the conditions, but the Patriots' Andy Borregales sits in 19th at 84.4%.
- Can Justin Herbert power through? Hertbert has enough to deal with while coping with a hand injury and an injury-decimated offensive line that offers him little protection. Toss in the wind, and a quarterback who threw the fourth-most interceptions during the regular season (13) could be in for an even tougher time.
- The Patriots are built for this. With impressive rookie Treveyon Henderson alongside Rhamondre Stevenson, the Patriots boast the league's sixth-ranked rushing offense (128.9 yards per game). They'll thrive if the wind forces this game to the ground.
