⛅ Dolphins vs. Bills weather report

• Date: Thursday, Sept. 18 @ 8:15 p.m. ET
• Location: Highmark Stadium (Orchard Park, N.Y.)
• Forecast: 65°F, partly cloudy
• Wind: 6 MPH W

Betting impact: It's expected to be a clear and cool night in western New York for Thursday Night Football. It's unlikely the weather or the porous Miami defense can stop Buffalo, making this a must-start spot for any Bills on your fantasy roster.

🌦️ Packers vs. Browns weather report

• Date: Sunday, Sept. 21 @ 1 p.m. ET
• Location: Huntington Bank Field (Cleveland)
• Forecast: 85°F, warm and partly cloudy with a chance of light showers
• Wind: 8 MPH S

Betting impact: We're projecting a warm and cloudy day for this Sunday's matchup, although rain is expected to be light if it occurs. Packers vs. Browns has one of the lowest totals of the week at 41.5 points, per the latest NFL odds, though it would be surprising if Green Bay doesn't do its part to put up points in this matchup.

---

☀️ Colts vs. Titans weather report

• Date: Sunday, Sept. 21 @ 1 p.m. ET
• Location: Nissan Stadium (Nashville)
• Forecast: 90°F, hot with a chance of isolated thunderstorms
• Wind: 7 MPH S

Betting impact: It looks like it will be hot in Nashville alongside a 55% chance of precipitation. This is a forecast we'll need more clarity on as Sunday approaches, with Daniel Jones and the Colts looking to improve to 3-0 on the season.

---

⛅ Steelers vs. Patriots weather report

• Date: Sunday, Sept. 21 @ 1 p.m. ET
• Location: Gillette Stadium (Foxborough, Mass.)
• Forecast: 70°F, sunny and clear
• Wind: 6 MPH S

Betting impact: We're expecting sunny and clear weather in Foxborough for this AFC matchup between 1-1 teams. This profiles as a great spot to start any Steelers or Patriots on your fantasy team, as both teams rank in the bottom eight in total defense after the first two weeks of the season.

---

☁️ Rams vs. Eagles weather report

• Date: Sunday, Sept. 21 @ 1 p.m. ET
• Location: Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia)
• Forecast: 74°F, cloudy
• Wind: 6 MPH ESE

Betting impact: This matchup between NFC contenders is expected to feature cloudy weather but little chance of rain. Given how much Philly leans on its run game, anyway, the weather forecast shouldn't change much if anything on Sunday.

---

☁️ Jets vs. Buccaneers weather report

• Date: Sunday, Sept. 21 @ 1 p.m. ET
• Location: Raymond James Stadium (Tampa, Fla.)
• Forecast: 89°F, mostly cloudy with a chance of a thunderstorm
• Wind: 7 MPH ENE

Betting impact: This is another forecast we will pay close attention to throughout the week, as there is a chance for a thunderstorm Sunday afternoon in Tampa. The hot weather could favor the offenses, though New York will be without starting QB Justin Fields, while any rain would certainly help the Bucs' and Jets' defenses.

---

☁️ Raiders vs. Commanders weather report

• Date: Sunday, Sept. 21 @ 1 p.m. ET
• Location: Northwest Stadium (Landover, Md.)
• Forecast: 73°F, cloudy with very low chance of rain
• Wind: 6 MPH ESE

Betting impact: We're looking at a cloudy day at Northwest Stadium, though rain isn't likely to be a factor. Washington remains a 3.5-point betting favorite in this game despite quarterback Jayden Daniels likely to miss the matchup.

---

⛅ Falcons vs. Panthers weather report

• Date: Sunday, Sept. 21 @ 1 p.m. ET
• Location: Bank of America Stadium (Charlotte, N.C.)
• Forecast: 82°F, sunny
• Wind: 8 MPH E

Betting impact: Weather isn't expected to get in the way of this NFC South matchup, though it's not a great spot to start any Panthers on your fantasy team. Atlanta has allowed the second-fewest yards in the league thus far.

---

🌧️  Texans vs. Jaguars weather report

• Date: Sunday, Sept. 21 @ 1 p.m. ET
• Location: EverBank Stadium (Jacksonville, Fla.)
• Forecast: 86°F, partly sunny with a high of showers and potential thunderstorm
• Wind: 12 MPH NE

Betting impact: It's projected to be a muggy day in Jacksonville this Sunday, with a 65% chance of rain and 71% humidity. The Texans' offense ranks last and 28th in points and yards, respectively, and sloppy weather certainly doesn't favor Houston and its stagnant run game.

---

🌦️ Saints vs. Seahawks weather report

• Date: Sunday, Sept. 21 @ 4:05 p.m. ET
• Location: Lumen Field (Seattle)
• Forecast: 70°F, mostly cloudy with expected light showers
• Wind: 4 MPH E

Betting impact: We're expecting light rain in Seattle on Sunday. Although the Saints currently have the higher-ranked rushing offense, look for Seahawks backs Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet to have a big day at home in this one.

---

☁️ Cowboys vs. Bears weather report

• Date: Sunday, Sept. 21 @ 4:25 p.m. ET
• Location: Soldier Field (Chicago)

• Date: Sunday, Sept. 21 @ 4:25 p.m. ET
• Location: Levi's Stadium (Santa Clara, Calif.)
• Forecast: 88°F, sunny and warm

---

• Date: Sunday, Sept. 21 @ 8:20 p.m. ET
• Location: MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, N.J.)
• Forecast: 59°F, partly cloudy
• Wind: 4 MPH SE

Betting impact: We're projecting a cool but mostly clear night as the Giants welcome in the Chiefs for Sunday Night Football. Both teams look to avoid a dreaded 0-3 start.

---

⛅ Lions vs. Ravens weather report

• Date: Monday, Sept. 22 @ 8:15 p.m. ET
• Location: M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore)
• Forecast: 70°F, mostly clear and humid
