The AFC Divisional Round showdown will finally kick off on Saturday at the Empower Field at Mile High Stadium in Denver, with the Denver Broncos taking on the Buffalo Bills. While many are looking forward to the game, the question on many people’s minds is what the weather will be like.
The weather would not just affect the people watching the game live at Empower Field at Mile High, but also the players, coaches and staff. If winds are strong enough, it might even affect the game, as strong winds could change the trajectories of passes and kicked balls. Rain might also make the turf slippery, while snow can impact the performance of players.
Fox Weather has reported that there will be 10-15 mph winds to be expected, but this will not be strong enough to throw off Bo Nix or Josh Allen’s throwing game. Since this is already mid-winter, the temperature is expected to be around the upper 30s, so it can be very cold, so those watching the game in person should bundle up.
The weather itself will be cloudy, 50% cloud cover, but rain is not expected. Winds will be coming out of the West-Northwest before changing to the West-Southwest later in the game. Conditions on the field are expected to be dry with no precipitation expected throughout the game.
Generally, this should be good weather for football, with many players being thankful this is being played in Denver and not in Buffalo, which is known to be one of the coldest NFL cities, with it being known to experience snow during gameday.
