NFL Week 15 Analysis

Weather could play a significant factor in a couple games on the NFL Week 15 slate. Let’s take a closer look…

Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills
Stadium: Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, New York

The weather in Saturday night’s Bills vs Dolphins game will be the most impactful on the Week 15 slate. The expectation of snow and high winds does not bode well for the visitors from South Florida.

Miami is playing their third-straight road game, and now they have to play in the wind and snow in Buffalo. Tua Tagovialoa’s biggest weakness is his arm strength, so the wind will really hurt him and this passing attack. Also, historically Tua has played poorly in snowy and windy games.

Josh Allen and the Bills will not have the same problem since Allen has a laser arm. Buffalo certainly has the advantage if the snow and wind are coming down hard, as projected.

Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns
Stadium: First Energy Stadium in Cleveland, OH

Just like in Buffalo, the lake effect winds may be in full force on Saturday for this game. If the wind is as bad as it could be, both teams will struggle mightily throwing the football. Baltimore will have a second-string QB going, and Watson is still rusty for the Browns.

If the wind is howling, I’d look to bet the under on most props involving passing. I’d take under completions, pass attempts, passing yards, and receiving yards for a variety of players.

No element affects NFL games more than the wind, and with a stadium that is right on a lake, the wind could be a massive factor in this game.

Detroit Lions at New York Jets
Stadium: MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ

The weather in New York may not be too bad on Sunday, but there is a chance for freezing temperatures and maybe some light snow. Even if it is just cold with no snow, the Lions will have a more challenging time in this game.

Jared Goff is not great when playing outdoors in cold conditions or against pressure. The Jets should be able to get after Goff, and the cold and snow would be the icing on the cake. Detroit will have trouble running the ball on the Jets, so the elements will not help them out.

Zach Wilson’s arm strength is not his best attribute, but the projected weather will likely affect the Lions more than the Jets. The Jets are used to playing their games at the Meadowlands, Buffalo and New England. Detroit hasn’t left home in the last four weeks.
