☁️ Browns vs. Bengals weather report
- Date: Sunday, Jan. 4 @ 1 p.m. ET
- Location: Paycor Stadium (Cincinnati)
- Forecast: 34 degrees, cloudy
- Wind: 3 mph NW
Betting + fantasy impact: It will be a frigid early-afternoon game in Cincinnati. Joe Burrow has thrown for 300-plus yards in two straight games, and the Bengals have won three straight versus the Browns when the former first overall pick suits up.
☁️ Cowboys vs. Giants weather report
- Date: Sunday, Jan. 4 @ 1 p.m. ET
- Location: MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, N.J.)
- Forecast: 33 degrees, clear
- Wind: 7 mph NW

☁️ Titans vs. Jaguars weather report
- Date: Sunday, Jan. 4 @ 1 p.m. ET
- Location: EverBank Stadium (Jacksonville, Fla.)
- Forecast: 60 degrees, cloudy
- Wind: 7 mph NE
Betting + fantasy impact: Weather shouldn't play much of a role here. The Jaguars have won seven games in a row and will lock up the AFC South title with a victory on Sunday.
❄️ Jets vs. Bills weather report
- Date: Sunday, Jan. 4 @ 4:25 p.m. ET
- Location: Highmark Stadium (Orchard Park, N.Y.)
- Forecast: 21 degrees, 23% chance of snow
- Wind: 7 mph NW
Betting + fantasy impact: This is the coldest projected forecast of the Week 18 slate. It's unclear whether Buffalo will rest starters this weekend, and that's reflected in a surprisingly short 7-point spread. It's been a month since the Jets lost by less than 20 points.
❄️ Lions vs. Bears weather report
- Date: Sunday, Jan. 4 @ 4:25 p.m. ET
- Location: Soldier Field (Chicago)
- Forecast: 31 degrees, cloudy
- Wind: 6 mph NW
Betting + fantasy impact: It's expected to be a cold but snow-free Sunday in Chicago. Caleb Williams is 270 yards away from becoming the first 4,000-yard passer in Bears history. He's coming off his only 300-yard performance of the year in the shootout loss to the 49ers.
⛅ Chargers vs. Broncos weather report
- Date: Sunday, Jan. 4 @ 4:25 p.m. ET
- Location: Empower Field at Mile High (Denver)
- Forecast: 55 degrees, partly cloudy
- Wind: 3 mph SE
Betting + fantasy impact: The weather will be clear and mild for this AFC West matchup. This is tied for the largest spread of the week (Denver -12.5), following the news that Justin Herbert won't play as he rests ahead of the playoffs.
We broke down the NFL Week 18 scenarios, providing the probability of the Broncos finishing first while outlining whether the Chargers will finish fifth, sixth, or seventh.
And it doesn't look like the weather will impact Keenan Allen's chances getting a bonus, the details of which we provide in our NFL contract incentives tracker.
❄️ Dolphins vs. Patriots weather report
- Date: Sunday, Jan. 4 @ 4:25 p.m. ET
- Location: Gillette Stadium (Foxborough, Mass.)
- Forecast: 27 degrees, clear
- Wind: 5 mph SW
Betting + fantasy impact: Expect freezing temperatures in Foxborough this Sunday. NFL MVP odds favorite Drake Maye looks to lock up the league's highest individual honor and a top-two seed in the AFC playoffs for the Patriots.
⛅ Commanders vs. Eagles weather report
- Date: Sunday, Jan. 4 @ 4:25 p.m. ET
- Location: Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia)
- Forecast: 36 degrees, partly cloudy
- Wind: 5 mph NW
Betting + fantasy impact: There's only a slight chance of rain in Philadelphia as the Eagles match up with the Commanders for the second time in three weeks. Saquon Barkley went off for 132 yards and a touchdown the last time these teams saw one another.
❄️ Ravens vs. Steelers weather report
- Date: Sunday, Jan. 4 @ 8:20 p.m. ET
- Location: Acrisure Stadium (Pittsburgh)
- Forecast: 25 degrees, cloudy
- Wind: 2 mph NW
Betting + fantasy impact: A frigid Pittsburgh will play host to the regular-season finale with the AFC North up for grabs. The Ravens are a 3.5-point road favorite with Lamar Jackson returning from injury.
