NFL Week 16 Weather Report: Betting and Fantasy Football Impact
Week 16 in the NFL brings widespread freezing temperatures, plus a few spots with a moderate breeze on top of the cold.
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 Week 16 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 report.
A reminder that while temperature and rain/snow can impact a game, the greatest impact by far comes from high wind, so I’ll be looking to highlight those spots when possible.

Weather Impact on Fantasy & Betting
A whole bunch of games with minor impacts. The cold does historically matter to scoring, but not to the level that wind or rain matters. I’m more concerned with games that have the higher winds, like in Baltimore. I’ll also be keeping my eye on the rain chances in Seattle, as well as the downright bitter cold with temps in the teens in Buffalo. I think all of those games can be considered a slight bump down to offense.
In case things change, I’ll be posting radar GIFs to Twitter as we get closer to kickoff: @KevinRothWx on Twitter.
