Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots (-2.5) | Total 41
Forecast: 57 degrees, 55% chance of light rain
Wind speed: 13-30 MPH
All things considered, the Dolphins might’ve caught a break with this forecast. At the very least, Miami won’t have to deal with cold temperatures at Gillette Stadium. The winds could be a factor in a game that’s already expected to be low scoring.
Indianapolis Colts at New York Giants (-5.5) | Total 38.5
Forecast: 50 degrees, 7% chance of rain
Wind speed: 13-23 MPH
Winds could be a factor in this cross-conference showdown, but it isn’t serious enough to necessitate a bet on the under just yet.
Cleveland Browns at Washington Commanders (-2.5) | Total 40
Forecast: 59 degrees, 11% chance of rain
Wind speed: 12-20 MPH
Similar to the weather in New Jersey, the conditions likely won’t be much of a concern at FedEx Field.
Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs (-12.5) | Total 45
Forecast: 55 degrees, 4% chance of rain
Wind speed: 7-16 MPH
A beautiful New Year’s Day in K.C.
New Orleans Saints at Philadelphia Eagles (-5.5) | Total 42
Forecast: 62 degrees, 7% chance of rain
Wind speed: 14-31 MPH
The winds could be a concern for Philly’s passing and kicking games. And considering Gardner Minshew will be under center once again, the under might be worth a look.
Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-3) | Total 40.5
Forecast: 77 degrees, 25% chance of rain
Wind speed: 5-10 MPH
Nothing to worry about in Tampa.
New York Jets (-1.5) at Seattle Seahawks | Total 42.5
Forecast: 45 degrees, 20% chance of rain
Wind speed: 5-7 MPH
A gloomy but not concerning forecast in Seattle.
Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers (-3.5) | Total 48
Forecast: 38 degrees, 8% chance of precipitation
Wind speed: 9-14 MPH
The frozen tundra will actually be quite pleasant on New Year’s Day.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens (-2.5) | Total 35.5
Forecast: 40 degrees, 4% chance of rain
Wind speed: 5-10 MPH
Weather won’t be a factor in this rivalry renewal.
