NFL Week 9 Weather Report: Betting and Fantasy Football Impact

jared-goff-800x480

Week 9 in the NFL brings a few games with a chance for rain, though the wind looks to stay manageable in every game this week.

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 9 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

Los Angeles Chargers @ Cleveland Browns – Chance for showers, winds stay under 10 mph.

Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks – Scattered showers are possible in the Pacific Northwest, as is often the case this time of year.

Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers – Showers look fairly likely. Winds stay manageable, and it never rains too hard, but the game is likely wet.

Sunday Night Football

Indianapolis Colts at Minnesota Vikings – The game is indoors, no concerns.

Monday Night Football

Tampa Bay Bucs at Kansas City Chiefs – Scattered are showers possible. Winds stay light.

Weather Impact on Fantasy & Betting

Detroit at Green Bay looks like the most likely game to see rain, so we could see a slight bump down to the passing attack there. That being said, it’s still just “a chance for rain,” and that goes for a handful of other games as well. With winds staying light across the board, I don’t see any games that are screaming “must bet” or “must fade” for fantasy purposes.

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