NFL Week 6 Weather Report and Forecast - Chilly and a bit wet in GB
We’re taking a look at Week 6 NFL weather, and this week the weather looks fairly mild.
As usual in my NFL weather forecasts, the main focus is to identify games with high winds or heavy rain. Of all possible weather variables, wind is the biggest detriment to offenses, with a 15+mph wind being impactful and anything over 20mph sustained becoming a major problem for passing and kicking. Rain is another important factor in scoring, in particular heavy rain, which makes it harder to both throw and catch a pass, as well as turnovers increasing across the board. Temperature rarely impacts scoring, so it will only be noted here in extreme cases, like late-season games with temps below freezing. You can use this to your advantage making your picks on DFS sites and sportsbooks.
It’s also worth noting that while winds are fairly predictable a few days out, trying to pinpoint rain over a stadium is difficult even a few hours ahead of a game.

NFL Week 6 Weather Report & Forecast
Sunday Main Slate – October 16th
New York Jets at Green Bay Packers – The only interesting weather game on the slate, we’ll see winds around 10mph with off and on light rain showers. It’s also a bit chilly with temps in the 40s, but I’m just listing it to note that temperatures don’t play a significant role in scoring, and I only consider it a (minor) downgrade if below freezing.
Sunday Night Football – October 16th
Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles – Weather looks pretty perfect for this NFC East showdown.
Monday Night Football – October 17th
Denver Broncos at LA Chargers – Perfect weather.
Overall Week 6 Weather Forecast
When looking for an edge, I’m always trying to find high winds first, and rain second. In this case, I don’t see much of either, as I don’t expect the wind nor light rain in GB to be a major problem. As I mentioned earlier, it’s best to follow forecasts right up until kickoff, so stay tuned to @KevinRothWx for the latest.
