The weather could be a factor in NFL games, with winds possibly altering the direction of balls to the rain causing the field to becoming slippery and heightening the chance of injury. For Week 7, how will the weather play into the various football games and how will it affect Fantasy and betting?
NFL Weather Report For Week 7
Los Angeles Rams at Jacksonville Jaguars (London Game)
There will be 80% chance of rain with winds of 11mph at Wembley Stadium. Expect it to have a medium impact on these games, with the Rams missing one very key player in Puka Nacua. The rain is not expected to be heavy but might still play a factor on this one.
New Orleans Saints at Chicago Bears
Chicago is infamous for its weather, with a 97% chance of rain at gameday. However, there is only a 20% chance of it happening around kickoff time, which is at 1:00 PM ET. The winds at the Windy City is expected to be at around 21mph, so expect this one to be a factor.
Miami Dolphins at Cleveland Browns
Expect this game to be a rainy one at Cleveland, and it will be pretty windy too, with 23mph winds. However, as the game goes on, there is a chance that the rain wand winds will drop, so expect the early game to be particularly wet. The 100% chance of rain practically guarantees that the weather will be a factor in this matchup.
Las Vegas Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs
There is 0% chance of rain and winds will be at 11mph, so the weather will not be much of a factor.
