NFL Week 8 Weather Report: Betting and Fantasy Football Impact
Week 8 in the NFL continues the streak this season of no major wind games, though we’ve got a few spots worth watching.
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 8 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.
Sunday Main Slate
Arizona Cardinals at Miami Dolphins – 10-15 mph winds, but I don’t think it’s enough to matter in any significant way.
Buffalo Bills at Seattle Seahawks – Rain looks likely in Seattle during game time. I’d consider it a slight bump down to the offense and the passing game specifically.
Sunday Night Football
Dallas Cowboys at San Francisco 49ers – Likely dry, with 10-15mph winds.
Monday Night Football
New York Giants at Pittsburgh Steelers – Mild temps, no precip, light wind. All good for MNF.
Weather Impact on Fantasy & Betting
The only game I’m concerned with is the BUF/SEA game. The winds there will remain manageable at 10 mph, so it’s not as if they are unable to throw the ball, but a wet game typically leads to a more inefficient passing game and a slight lean on the run. Josh Allen has been nearly unstoppable this season, and while I don’t expect the weather to stop him, it may slow him down.
In case things change, I’ll be posting radar GIFs to Twitter as we get closer to kickoff: @KevinRothWx on Twitter.
