Super Bowl LVII Weather Report and Forecast
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.

Super Bowl LVII Weather Report & Forecast
Sunday, Feb 12th
KC Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles – Nearly as good of weather as you could ask for in Glendale Arizona, with 10mph winds and temps in the 60s. That should, in theory, be perfect open-roof weather (State Farm Stadium has a retractable roof). However… models are showing a low chance of some rain Sunday night, increasingly likely late. I’m not sure if the threat for rain is going to be enough to close the roof or not, but it’s worth watching as we get closer to kickoff.
Overall Super Bowl LVII Weather Forecast
When looking for an edge, I’m always trying to find high winds first, and rain/snow second. We don’t have any of that for Super Bowl Sunday, it’s just a matter of if they leave the roof open and happen to get a few showers or not. As always it’s best to follow forecasts right up until kickoff, so stay tuned to @KevinRothWx for the latest.
Knowing the accurate weather forecast (if the roof is indeed open, and if it looks likely to rain) could come in handy on sites like No House Advantage, where you can use our No House Advantage promo code to get a $100 Instant Deposit Match.
