Starting this weekend I think the weather starts playing a role in games as we head into the final stretch here. Just see what happened in the Penn State- Iowa game today with the wind.

So, I see snow forecasts in Chicago for the Bears-Titans game. Weather.com has snow flurries until 11am tomorrow.....what are Chicago homers seeing?

Also, any other games to worry about?

Here's a summary,I'm in London myself so cant help with any local news.http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/weather/

Snow wont make much difference unless it settles. Wind obviously affects passing especially for teams who like to pass it deep. Worth keeping an eye out for weather at Pittsburgh, at moment wunderground forecasting 34% chance of rain and 9mph winds, if winds start hitting 15mph or so and it rains then the Steelers are much better equipped to deal with the conditions.

I've read on Chicago weather reports winds from 17mph to gusting 35mph? Tenn doesn't have much of a passing game to downgrade, What about Bironas though? Chic's offense would be more affected too.

homer here - 35 degrees and blustery winds - this is the first game of the year played in cold windy conditions so would look for a low scoring game.

anyone benching Gould in light of this?

I'll wait to see what the weather is like about 30 minutes from the start of the game but if it's 35 mph winds I'm definitely sitting him. I have Greg Olsen too and I wasn't happy about starting him with Orton out but I'll definitely sit him too if it's high winds.

I'm thinking Forte will have a hard time on the ground vs Titans but he should make this up in volume of touches and short dump off passes.

Weather.com listing Chicago at 16mph in the hour by hour forecast right now.

Not sure if that is enough yet to just bench Bironas.

Though, after last year's finals when I was killed with having to start Favre, Jennings and Crosby in some nasty stuff in Chicago (much nastier than this)...Im always hesitant.

90 minutes from the start of the game and Weather.com says the wind speed is "medium" at 14 mph.

Chicago homers can chime in but at this time I don't think the winds appear serious enough to bench the kickers if you were planning on starting them.

I live north of the city. Winds are not bad right now. It is overcast and we have had light flurries overnight into the morning. It is cold but not unbearable or anything.

However, Soldier Field had some event there and the field is said to have bad footing. Something to keep an eye on.

Seems there is some wind and rain at San Diego today,I've seen varying forecasts of wind speeds between 10 and 20 mph. Chargers should be able to run all over Kansas but Rivers has been very effective at the Qualcomm this season, 9 TD passes in 3 games.
