NFL Forecast

NFL weather for week 11... Not particularly active, but worth a watch in a few spots. KC/LAC (in Mexico) are the most interesting spots.

• GREEN PIT @ CLE -

  Cold temps (around freezing), with fairly light winds around 10mph... not enough to have any major impact on the game. I'll add that teams tend to lean on the run slightly more in cold weather games, but we're talking an overall change of less than 5% compared to all other games.

• GREEN HOU @ BAL -

  Cold (around 40), lower-end chance for some showers.

• GREEN NYJ @ WAS -

  It's cold (around 40), but we're going to see plenty of that for the remainder of the season. There's also a lower-end chance of some showers, but not enough coverage or intensity to be particularly worrisome. This is the final game I'm going to mention as "cold" unless it's freezing or below, mainly because cold doesn't really matter.

• GREEN NEP @ PHI -

  Probably the most interesting weather game, but it's still far from a fade. Temps around 40 (yes, I just said I wouldn't bring that up), but... it's accompanied by winds of 10-15mph. On their own the winds don't bother me much, but if it comes in on the high end of that range and combines with the cold it's less than ideal... not fade-worthy, but less than ideal. Lower-end chance for showers.

• YELLOW KCC @ LAC -

  This game is played in Mexico, and while the "weather" isn't too interesting (light winds, chance of storms), the elevation is. This stadium is 7200 feet above sea level, roughly 2000 feet higher than Denver. I love kickers here because the high elevation means you can boot it 60+ yards with ease (really hoping we get to see someone line up for a 65-70 yarder), and I also like offenses in general as I think players conditioning/air could play a role later in the game, and it's generally the defense that gets worn down.
