NFL Week 3 Playing Conditions to Monitor
- While the majority of cities are hanging on to the final days of summer, a few games will have fall-like playing conditions. With rain forecasted for the Texans vs. Jaguars (total hovering around 44 points) and Saints vs. Seahawks (total around 42 points), this could lead to an increase in dropped passes and fumbles due to the slippery playing conditions and more of an emphasis on the running game.
Saints vs. Seahawks under 41.5 points
- Living up to the moniker of “The Windy City”, expect somewhat moderate winds to play a part in the Cowboys vs. Bears matchup. With winds blowing to the East across the field, we may see some wayward kicks on field goal and PATs in this NFC showdown.
- Potentially set to benefit from an early trip to upstate New York, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa won’t have to worry about playing in the cold, as the temperature will be a moderate 19 degrees ahead of their Thursday Night Football duel with the Bills. (Tua has a 4-10 record when temperatures drop below 15 degrees in his NFL career.)
