Games Affected by Weather

Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars | High Impact

Sunday 1:00 PM ET –– EverBank Stadium

Jacksonville has a 42% chance of rain showers during warmups, and it climbs to 54% at kickoff and stays there all afternoon, with thunderstorms entering the forecast by 4 PM ET. An east wind holds at 16 mph from kickoff through the third quarter before easing to 15 mph late. Temperatures stay mild at 73-75°F, so wind and rain together drive the rating.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers | High Impact

Sunday 1:00 PM ET –– Raymond James Stadium

Scattered showers and thunderstorms carry a 52% chance through pregame, then the forecast turns to widespread showers and thunderstorms at 78% for the entire game window. The wind is a steady 12 mph out of the east to east-northeast, with temperatures slipping from 80°F to 77°F. Lightning is the bigger risk here than the rain itself, since any strike in the area triggers a weather delay.

New England Patriots vs. Miami Dolphins | High Impact

Sunday 4:25 PM ET –– Hard Rock Stadium

Miami has the wettest forecast on the slate, with an 83% chance of showers and thunderstorms from early afternoon through the fourth quarter before dipping to 76% at 7 PM ET. An east wind runs 14 mph at kickoff and eases to 13 mph late, with temperatures in the upper 70s throughout. Like Tampa, the thunderstorm risk raises the chance of a delay.

Tennessee Titans vs. Cincinnati Bengals | Medium Impact

Sunday 1:00 PM ET –– Paycor Stadium

Cincinnati sits at an 18% chance of light rain through pregame, and it rises to 41% from kickoff through 4 PM ET. The wind is almost nonexistent at 1-3 mph, turning from southeast to south, and temperatures hold at 66-67°F. Light rain is the only factor, and it keeps this game in the Medium range.


DFS and Betting Takeaway

Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

A 16 mph wind paired with better-than-even rain odds is the one setup on the slate that hits both the passing game and the kicking game, so lean toward the under and the run game, and fade long field goal attempts.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The 12 mph wind sits below the level that typically limits deep passing, so the downgrade comes from wet footing and ball security rather than the air game. A small lean toward the under and run-heavy game scripts makes sense, and check for lightning delays near kickoff.

New England Patriots vs. Miami Dolphins

Steady rain with a 13-14 mph east wind makes this a modest under lean and a slight downgrade for deep passing and kickers. Monitor the radar before lineup lock since Florida storms can move through quickly.

Tennessee Titans vs. Cincinnati Bengals

With almost no wind, a 41% chance of light rain doesn’t warrant a meaningful downgrade to either passing game. Treat it as neutral unless steady rain shows up at kickoff.

The rest of the outdoor slate is dry with light wind in Buffalo, East Rutherford, Pittsburgh, Denver and Landover, where Sunday Night Football cools into the upper 40s by the fourth quarter. SoFi carries only a 15% chance of light rain with a 10 mph wind, and Arlington is warm and dry outside the retractable roof.
