Betting and Fantasy Football Impact

Week 18 features 2 games that stand out as downright ugly and a couple of others that could cause some more minor impacts.

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 18 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 page.

A reminder that while temperature and rain/snow can impact a game, the greatest impact by far comes from high-wind games, so I’ll be looking to highlight those spots when possible.

Saturday

Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens – Looks like it will be pouring pregame and early in the game. That might taper off a bit late, but it’s a soaker regardless. Winds should be around 10-15mph sustained, with gusts 25-30mph. Nasty stuff.

Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts – Game indoors.

Sunday

Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals – A chance for showers, with winds 10 mph sustained gusting to around 20 mph.

New York Jets at New England Patriots – Looks very ugly here. I expect temps around freezing, strong winds, and snow. There’s a winter storm warning in effect for the Boston area, and I do expect that continues into the game. On top of that, winds could get VERY gusty, potentially as high as 40-50mph wind gusts.

Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants – Lingering rain or snow showers are possible here, but wind doesn’t look like a major issue. 10 mph sustained winds with gusts of 20 mph to start, lower than that as the game goes on.

Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins – A chance for showers.

Weather Impact on Fantasy & Betting

Both the Ravens and Patriots games look ugly, so those are the two main issues this week. I’d expect both to be relatively low-scoring affairs with offenses that are less efficient than usual.

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