🚨 Projected worst NFL weather games

🥈 Patriots vs. Jets: 33 degrees, 67% chance of rain.

🥉 Steelers vs. Browns: 32% chance of rain and windy.


☁️ Cowboys vs. Commanders weather report

  • Date: Thursday, Dec. 25 @ 1 p.m. ET
  • Location: Northwest Stadium (Landover, Md.)
  • Forecast: 44 degrees, mostly cloudy
  • Wind: 7 mph NW

Betting + fantasy impact: We're expecting mild weather in the Christmas Day opener. Dak Prescott had a masterful performance in the first Cowboys-Commanders game this season, completing 21 of 30 passes for 264 yards and three touchdowns in a blowout Dallas victory.


⛅ Broncos vs. Chiefs weather report

  • Date: Thursday, Dec. 25 @ 8:15 p.m. ET
  • Location: GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City, Mo.)
  • Forecast: 59 degrees, partly cloudy with 89% humidity
  • Wind: 7 mph SW

Betting + fantasy impact: It's projected to be a snow-free but humid Christmas night in Kansas City. Look for Broncos wideout Courtland Sutton to have a massive performance against a banged-up Chiefs secondary and lead Denver (-13) to its first win in K.C. since 2015.


☁️ Ravens vs. Packers weather report

  • Date: Saturday, Dec. 27 @ 8 p.m. ET
  • Location: Lambeau Field (Green Bay, Wis.)
  • Forecast: 37 degrees, cloudy with a 10% chance of rain
  • Wind: 9 mph SE

Betting + fantasy impact: There's only a 10% chance of rain at Lambeau, but we'll update this forecast as needed as Saturday approaches. The biggest question ahead of this matchup is whether QBs Lamar Jackson and Jordan Love will play after suffering injuries last week.


☁️ Cardinals vs. Bengals weather report

  • Date: Sunday, Dec. 28 @ 1 p.m. ET
  • Location: Paycor Stadium (Cincinnati)
  • Forecast: 51 degrees, cloudy with an 18% chance of rain
  • Wind: 9 mph SW

Betting + fantasy impact: It's set to be cloudy with a light chance of rain in Cincinnati. This game has the highest total of the week (53.5) after the Bengals dropped 41 on the Dolphins on Sunday. Cincinnati games have gone 9-6 to the Over this season.


💨 Steelers vs. Browns weather report

  • Date: Sunday, Dec. 28 @ 1 p.m. ET
  • Location: Huntington Bank Field (Cleveland)
  • Forecast: 43 degrees, 32% chance of rain and windy
  • Wind: 15 mph SW

Betting + fantasy impact: There's a moderate chance of rain, but the wind could be the biggest factor (15 mph, gusts up to 26 mph). How fitting would it be for Myles Garrett to set the NFL record for sacks in a season at home against the rival Steelers? He needs just one more.


🌦️ Saints vs. Titans weather report

  • Date: Sunday, Dec. 28 @ 1 p.m. ET
  • Location: Nissan Stadium (Nashville)
  • Forecast: 62 degrees, cloudy with a 34% chance of rain
  • Wind: 10 mph SW

Betting + fantasy impact: There's a chance of rain in Nashville as the Saints look for their fourth straight win. Wideout Chris Olave has averaged 116.5 yards with three total TDs over the last two weeks. He now faces a Titans defense that ranks 26th in fantasy points allowed to WRs.


⛅ Buccaneers vs. Dolphins weather report

  • Date: Sunday, Dec. 28 @ 1 p.m. ET
  • Location: Hard Rock Stadium (Miami Gardens, Fla.)
  • Forecast: 75 degrees, partly cloudy
  • Wind: 5 mph SE

Betting + fantasy impact: Weather shouldn't affect the matchup in sunny Florida. This profiles as a strong get-right spot for Baker Mayfield, who has only topped 200 yards passing once over his last six games.


🌧️ Patriots vs. Jets weather report

  • Date: Sunday, Dec. 28 @ 1 p.m. ET
  • Location: MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, N.J.)
  • Forecast: 33 degrees, 67% chance of rain
  • Wind: 5 mph SW

Betting + fantasy impact: This AFC East matchup has the highest likelihood of precipitation and the lowest projected temperature. RB Rhamondre Stevenson is primed for another strong game in those conditions, especially if rookie TreVeyon Henderson is held out with a concussion.


☁️ Seahawks vs. Panthers weather report

  • Date: Sunday, Dec. 28 @ 1 p.m. ET
  • Location: Bank of America Stadium (Charlotte, N.C.)
  • Forecast: 62 degrees, cloudy
  • Wind: 9 mph SW

Betting + fantasy impact: It should be a mild day for this NFC showdown with massive playoff implications. The Seahawks (-7) are 6-1 on the road this season, holding opponents to just 16.7 points per game.


❄️ Eagles vs. Bills weather report

  • Date: Sunday, Dec. 28 @ 4:25 p.m. ET
  • Location: Highmark Stadium (Orchard Park, N.Y.)
  • Forecast: 37 degrees, 59% chance of snow
  • Wind: 9 mph SW

Betting + fantasy impact: This is projected to be the lone snow game of the Week 17 slate, so get set for a heavy emphasis on superstar RBs Saquon Barkley and James Cook. The Bills (-1.5) are just 1-4 against the spread as a home favorite in 2025.


⛅ 49ers vs. Bears weather report

  • Date: Sunday, Dec. 28 @ 8:20 p.m. ET
  • Location: Levi's Stadium (Santa Clara, Calif.)
  • Forecast: 51 degrees, clear
  • Wind: 6 mph NW

Betting + fantasy impact: We're expecting clear conditions for this Sunday Night Football blockbuster. Both teams have clinched a playoff spot but need a win as they look to win their respective divisions.
