🚨 Projected worst NFL weather games

🥇 Rams vs. Seahawks: 44 degrees, 87% chance of rain.

🥈 Bills vs. Browns: 37 degrees, 18-mph winds.

🥉 Packers vs. Bears: 30 degrees.


🌧️ Rams vs. Seahawks weather report

  • Date: Thursday, Dec. 18 @ 8:15 p.m. ET
  • Location: Lumen Field (Seattle)
  • Forecast: 44 degrees, 87% chance of rain
  • Wind: 10 mph SW

Betting + fantasy impact: We're likely going to see rain and a moderate amount of wind in this titanic Thursday Night Football showdown. With a 44-point total, I'm betting the Under given these teams combined for just 40 points in perfect conditions earlier this season.


⛅ Eagles vs. Commanders weather report

  • Date: Saturday, Dec. 20 @ 5 p.m. ET
  • Location: Northwest Stadium (Landover, Md.)
  • Forecast: 42 degrees, partly cloudy
  • Wind: 8 mph SW

Betting + fantasy impact: It's projected to be a mild Saturday as the Eagles look to put together back-to-back strong performances, while the Commanders play out the string. Look for Philadelphia to cover the 6.5-point spread with ease.


❄️ Packers vs. Bears weather report

  • Date: Saturday, Dec. 20 @ 8:20 p.m. ET
  • Location: Soldier Field (Chicago)
  • Forecast: 30 degrees, partly cloudy
  • Wind: 12 mph NW

Betting + fantasy impact: We're expecting a cold, windy night - what Chicagoans call "Bear weather." In a matchup that could decide the NFC North, back the home Bears +1.5 against a Packers team that is 1-5 against the spread as a road favorite.


💨 Bills vs. Browns weather report

  • Date: Sunday, Dec. 21 @ 1 p.m. ET
  • Location: Huntington Bank Field (Cleveland)
  • Forecast: 37 degrees, 15% chance of rain
  • Wind: 18 mph SW

Betting + fantasy impact: Fade the passing game in this one, with projected wind gusts up to 28 mph. All eyes are on Myles Garrett as he chases the single-season sack record. The NFL Defensive Player of the Year odds favorite needs just 1.5 to break the all-time mark.


⛅ Chiefs vs. Titans weather report

  • Date: Sunday, Dec. 21 @ 1 p.m. ET
  • Location: Nissan Stadium (Nashville)
  • Forecast: 54 degrees, 19% chance of rain
  • Wind: 7 mph SE

Betting + fantasy impact: There's only a slight chance of rain in Nashville as of midweek. The Chiefs will miss the playoffs for the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era and will be without him this weekend. The Titans have their shortest moneyline odds (+155) of the entire season.


⛅ Vikings vs. Giants weather report

  • Date: Sunday, Dec. 21 @ 1 p.m. ET
  • Location: MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, N.J.)
  • Forecast: 42 degrees, 14% chance of snow
  • Wind: 9 mph SW

Betting + fantasy impact: It will be cold but likely snow-free for this NFC matchup. Start J.J. McCarthy if he's on your fantasy roster. He's impressed in back-to-back weeks and now faces a Giants defense allowing the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks.


⛅ Buccaneers vs. Panthers weather report

  • Date: Sunday, Dec. 21 @ 1 p.m. ET
  • Location: Bank of America Stadium (Charlotte, N.C.)
  • Forecast: 57 degrees, clear
  • Wind: 6 mph SW

Betting + fantasy impact: We're expecting a mild afternoon in Carolina. This is the first of two Bucs-Panthers matchups over the next three weeks to decide the NFC South. Tampa Bay has won nine of the last 10 head-to-head meetings with their division rival.


☀️ Bengals vs. Dolphins weather report

  • Date: Sunday, Dec. 21 @ 1 p.m. ET
  • Location: Hard Rock Stadium (Miami Gardens, Fla.)
  • Forecast: 81 degrees, partly cloudy
  • Wind: 7 mph NE

Betting + fantasy impact: Miami will be warm for this battle between eliminated AFC clubs. This profiles as a great spot for De'Von Achane, as Cincinnati ranks dead last in fantasy points allowed to running backs.


⛅ Jaguars vs. Broncos weather report

  • Date: Sunday, Dec. 21 @ 4:05 p.m. ET
  • Location: Empower Field at Mile High (Denver)
  • Forecast: 48 degrees, partly cloudy
  • Wind: 7 mph NE

Betting + fantasy impact: Weather isn't expected to play much of a role here. The Jaguars and Broncos carry five and 11-game winning streaks into this week, respectively. I'm eyeing the Under on 45.5 points, though, as this matchup features two top-10 scoring defenses.


❄️ Patriots vs. Ravens weather report

  • Date: Sunday, Dec. 21 @ 8:20 p.m. ET
  • Location: M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore)
  • Forecast: 38 degrees, 12% chance of rain
  • Wind: 10 mph NW

Betting + fantasy impact: It's going to be chilly in Baltimore for Sunday Night Football. The Patriots, favored by 3 points coming off last week's loss to the Bills, haven't lost two straight games all season.
