We’ve got a rare Saturday Night Football game in Chicago, and the weather in the Windy City could match the nickname.

Below, we’ll break down the NFL weather report and expected conditions to take into account for betting and fantasy football purposes.

Packers vs. Bears Weather Report & Forecast

The big story here is the wind, and I don’t think it will stay steady throughout the game. Instead, I expect a gradual increase in wind gusts as the game goes on. Kickoff winds should be around or under 15mph sustained with gusts around 20-25mph, but by the 2nd half of the game, I expect those sustained winds closer to 20mph with gusts pushing 35-40mph. It’s also quite cold, with temps around freezing. The offenses will likely still be fine, but it’s a bump down to kickers, especially late. I’ll keep the forecast updated here, on my NFL weather page, and on Twitter/X, @KevinRothWx.

How Will the Packers vs. Bears Weather Affect Betting & Fantasy Football Picks?

A tale of two halves, the weather in the 2nd half could bring more impactful winds. I would only consider fading kickers here; I would not fade quarterbacks or receivers.

• Late-game wind gusts pushing 35-40 mph
• Temperature around freezing
• Downgrade to kicking; a few longer throws could also be impacted
