NFL Week 17 Weather Conditions (Fantasy Football)
This is it! Championship week – the time to lay all your cards out on the table and make the best roster moves to pick up the win. If you’ve been reading along this season, thank you! I hope it was beneficial to you and your fantasy team. Hope to see you all next season! Let’s get to the weather and see what this weekend has in store (and if you haven’t read Matt DiSorbo’s Whether Weather Really Matters article at this point I don’t know how else to get the point across, read it!).
As always – games in domes are NOT listed!
Sunday Early Afternoon Games
New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills
MEDIUM impact. Looks like we’ll have some rain and snow mix during the game, there is currently a 70% chance during game time that there will be some form of precipitation. Good news is that, especially by Buffalo standards, it’ll be pretty light with accumulation less than 1/2 an inch. Winds will be in the single digits and the temps will be in the mid to low-30s during the game.
Atlanta Falcons @ Chicago Bears
HIGH impact. There will be some snow showers in and around the Chicago area, sitting at 50% probability right now. Total accumulation will be fairly low, however, there will be some increased winds during the game with sustained speeds in the low-teens gusting to the upper-teens/low-20s. High temps will be in the low-30s throughout the game. Double-check conditions Sunday morning prior to kick-off and be ready to flex if needed!
Arizona Cardinals @ Philadelphia Eagles
LOW impact. It’ll be a nice and cool day in Philly on Sunday. No rain or snow, high temp in the mid-40s with winds in the single digits.
Los Angeles Rams @ New York Giants
LOW impact. Another good weather game, a little chilly with a high temp in the mid-40s but no rain/snow and light winds. Start all your studs.
New Orleans Saints @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
LOW impact. Downright beautiful day in Tampa on Sunday for football. Light winds, high temp in the upper-60s, and no rain. Start all your usual players.
San Francisco 49ers @ Washington Commanders
LOW impact. It’ll be a nice day in the nation’s capital with no rain, light winds, and high temps in the mid-40s. No weather issues, start all your normal players.
Carolina Panthers @ Jacksonville Jaguars
LOW impact. Winds will be in the high single digits with some occasional gusts to the low-teens, but no real impact there. No rain expected, high temps in the mid-60s. Weather-wise, the game is good to go!
Miami Dolphins @ Baltimore Ravens
LOW impact. I’m really happy weather won’t be a factor in this game. Winds will be in the single digits, no rain or snow, and high temps in the mid-40s.
Sunday Afternoon Games
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Seattle Seahawks
LOW impact. Cool and cloudy, but I’m not seeing a huge chance of rain. Winds will still be fairly light and the max temp will be in the mid-30s.
Los Angeles Chargers @ Denver Broncos
LOW impact. It’ll be a great afternoon in Denver, mostly clear skies and a high temp in the mid-40s. No rain or snow, and winds will be in the single digits.
Cincinnati Bengals @ Kansas City Chiefs
LOW impact. Another overall nice game. It’ll be a little windy, with sustained winds in the low teens with occasional gusts to the low-20s. High temp will be in the mid-30s, with no rain or snow expected.
Remember that weather, just like football, is a dynamic thing and can change! Good luck!
