NFL Playoffs Weather Report - Conference Championship: Betting and Fantasy Football Impact

Article Image

The Conference Championship round of the NFL playoffs has one perfect game and one game where we could see some rain, let’s dive into it.

This NFL weather article will highlight any extreme temperatures, precipitation, and, most importantly, high winds that we could see across the NFL landscape this week.

If a game isn’t specifically listed in this week’s report, that means the weather is quiet enough for it not to be an issue in that particular game.

NFL Conference Championship Weekend Weather Report & Forecast

As always, it’s best to stay up to date with the very latest forecasts, so follow me on Twitter @KevinRothWx and keep an eye on my NFL weather page.

A reminder that while temperature and rain/snow can impact a game, the greatest impact by far comes from high-wind games, so I’ll be looking to highlight those spots when possible.

Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs at Baltimore Ravens – There are scattered showers in the general area. It’s too early to try to pinpoint this kind of setup, so for now I’m just going to have to leave it at “a chance for showers.” The good news is that the winds look mostly unimpactful. Even the strongest forecast models only bring in 10-15 mph sustained winds with gusts to 20 mph. Many other models are coming in lower than that.

Detroit Lions at San Francisco 49ers – Perfect weather, mild temps, light winds, no precip.

Weather Impact on Fantasy & Betting

It’s certainly worth following the forecast in Baltimore because if we see rain in-game, it could impact the passing attack. For now, it’s just too early to be certain whether rain will be over the stadium or just near the stadium during the game, so I’d recommend staying tuned in to the latest.

In case things change, I’ll be posting radar gifs to Twitter as we get closer to kickoff, @KevinRothWx on Twitter.
