Bills quarterback Allen

The forecast at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park for Sunday Night Football is ugly for 49ers vs. Bills, especially in the days and hours leading up to the game. The pregame snow totals from this event could total nearly 2 feet…while the in-game snow is likely to be closer to half an inch.

Weather Report for 49ers vs. Bills

It’s a bit of a tough one here because the main impact is what happens well before the game, with nearly 2 feet of snow possible in the days and hours before kickoff. That snow will taper off dramatically by game time, with models currently showing scattered snow showers and in-game snow totals of 1/3 to 1/2 an inch of snow. Regardless, there will likely be some snow around during the game. The more important factor is the wind, and for now, winds are noteworthy but manageable, coming in at about 10 mph sustained with gusts over 20 mph. I’ll keep the forecast updated here, on my NFL weather page, and on Twitter, @KevinRothWx.

Betting & Fantasy Weather Notes for 49ers vs. Bills

Sub-freezing temps and winds gusting to 20+ mph are the main impact drivers here, both of which are a slight downgrade to offense. The snow, while visually noteworthy, likely will not have a significant impact on play, as most of the snow will fall well ahead of the game. There’s even an argument to be made that snow is a plus to offense, so long as the wind remains manageable.
