Rams vs. Bears Weather Report & Forecast

We’ve got a lot to discuss in Chicago, but we should start with the cold. Temperatures will be in the upper teens, with feels-like temperatures in the single digits. There’s also a steady 10-15mph sustained wind which could gust up to 30mph during most of the game, and late in the game, those winds could kick up even higher (though the worst of the winds is likely after the game). Last but not least, we’ll see some snow. I expect some snow showers and flurries during the game. I’ll keep the forecast updated here, on my NFL weather page, and on Twitter/X, @KevinRothWx.

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

The combination of bitter cold, gusty winds, and snow makes for a downgrade to the passing attack and to special teams. If the wind holds in the 10-15mph range that I am currently forecasting, the impacts should mostly be manageable.
