When
it comes to bad weather football games, I’m more of a fan of rain than snow. I get
it: snow looks nice and it’s sort of fun, for a while, to watch the players
slip, slide and fumble around the field.
It’s
all great. But to me, nothing beats a good gully washer of a rain storm. I love
watching games were rain is pouring down on the players and fans are getting soaked.
It’s
not likely well see anything that dramatic this weekend, but rain showers are
forecasted for many of the NFL cities. And for you snow fans, there is mention
of the white stuff for games in Kansas City and, of course, Green Bay, where if you look right now (2:20 p.m., Friday, Dec. 20, 2013), you’ll see Lambeau is
already covered.
So,
without further gibberish – I love that word – here are your forecasts for this
week’s 14 NFL outdoor games.
Dolphins
at Bills: High of 51/Rain
Colts at Chiefs: High of 25/Chance of light snow
Vikings
at Bengals: High of 58/Rain likely
Cowboys
at Redskins: High of 73 (Wow! In December?) / Showers likely
Browns
at Jets: High of 64/chance of showers (And a good chance Geno will turn the
ball over at least three times.)
Saints
at Panthers: High of 73/Showers
Titans
at Jaguars: High of 81/Patchy fog (I’d love to see another Fog Bowl, but not
for the Titans and Jags.)
Broncos
at Texans: High of 68/Mostly sunny (If Peyton Manning stinks this week –that’s
unlikely against the two-win Texans – no one can blame the temperature.)
Cardinals
at Seahawks: High of 48/Rain likely (Great! I love the look of the Seahawks
playing at home in the rain.)
Steelers
at Packers: High 25/Snow (The low for Green Bay Sunday night is -3. Burrrrr!)
Raiders
at Chargers: High of 67/Sunny
Patriots
at Ravens: High 71/showers likely
Sunday Night
Bears at Eagles: Low of 33/Showers likely (The high in Philly Sunday should hit around 71.)
Bears at Eagles: Low of 33/Showers likely (The high in Philly Sunday should hit around 71.)
Falcons at 49ers: Low of 48/Mostly clear
