Latest forecast has the temp at kickoff at 27 degrees slowly lowering to 22 degrees at the end of regulation.

And most importantly, VERY light winds. Little to no chill factor.

Non-issue in my book.

PARAM wrote:Depends on the definition of "certain percentage". I can see the affect altitude might have on a visiting team and the benefit for the home team who practice in it. But 'cold weather' teams? In today's NFL don't most teams have indoor practice facilities?


You don't just practice in the cold. You play in it year in and out, you live in it, and so on. That's why I focused on coping skills. Being used to it just means handling it in more familiar ways.

Road teams, how do they do against expectations as measured by the spread?

It’s still cold as heck here. I can confirm the lack of wind. But to say the cold is a non factor is wrong.

I was just thinking about you when I read PARAM’s post talking about playing at “altitude” causing teams problems. :)

That is something I would like to see....
