Miami is now awaiting the winner of the Peach Bowl, as No. 1 Indiana takes on No. 5 Oregon in Atlanta, Georgia. The big question now is, how will the weather be in the Southeast, and how much will it affect the game that could decide the next NCAA national football champion?
As of now, severe thunderstorms have been wreaking havoc across the region, but will they be severe enough to delay the game on Friday? It had been warm during the last few weeks, and this has created some pressure that led to a storm system that has been hitting the Southeast, from as far north as the Carolinas to as far south as Louisiana.
Peach Bowl Game Weather Report Today
For Indiana fans travelling to and from the Atlanta area before and after the game, expect a lot of wet weather due to a current storm system in the area.
Rainfall is expected from Friday to Saturday, so yes, the Peach Bowl is bound to be a wet one, with precipitation being expected at 75% around gametime, with around a few inches of rain to be exact.
Travel might also be disrupted for fans going in and out of Atlanta just to watch the game live. As for how much it should affect, a few inches of rainfall often do not delay games or affect it that much, but it could make the field and the ball slippery. However, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta does have a retractable roof, and it is expected that they will be closing it up so that the rain will not get in.
Who Is Predicted To Win the Peach Bowl Game Today
Given how dominant the Indiana Hoosiers have been all season, and having already beaten Oregon a few weeks ago, they are coming in as the betting favorites with a spread of -3.5 and an over/under of 48.5. That being said, yes, Indiana has this one in the bag and would probably win by a wide margin.
