The Washington Football Team hosts the Seattle Seahawks at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland on Monday Night Football to close out Week 12. It’s a key contest for both teams as they are trying to hang around the playoff picture. Washington is 4-6 and a half game out of the final wild card berth while Seattle is 3-7 and a game and a half back. Neither is out of the playoff picture with a loss, but it would put them in a tough position heading into December.
But for most of us, Monday’s game brings a close to fantasy football and NFL betting in Week 12. There’s plenty to consider when making roster and betting decisions, and weather is one such factor. Weather needs to be extreme to truly impact games, but when deciding between two players who you like equally, it might be a helpful tie breaker. What we really don’t want to see is 20 mph or higher wind speeds. Rain can cause problems, but unless it is a combination of high winds and rain, we usually don’t want to downgrade our fantasy football players too much.
Helpful weather resources include National Weather Service and Dark Sky, among others.

Fantasy/betting implications
There really should be nothing to worry about. It will be cold, but there won’t be any inclement weather to impact fantasy football or sports betting.
