Looking around the NFL I see a few game-time lows in the forties. That means we're getting close to regular snow on football Sunday and a frozen tundra in Green Bay isn't too far off. Most of the weather today is clear, but there are a few trouble spots.
Minnesota at Green Bay: It's not quite cold enough for snow but as the game wears on it's supposed to drop down into the low forties with a 30 percent chance of rain. Both Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre know how to deal with any weather that Lambeau Field can throw their way. But, I'd watch carefully the Pro Bowl running back who's nursing a knee injury. You have to start Adrian Peterson, but on a cold, wet field you will be hoping that he doesn't tweak anything.
Denver at Baltimore: It's raining now in Baltimore and there is a 60 percent chance of continued rain all afternoon. With such a soggy field, I'd figure that both quarterbacks will be affected -- even if it's ever so slightly. If these teams are both forced to move to a running scheme it could be a very low-scoring event as both the Ravens and Broncos are top-notch run defenses.
New York Giants at Philadelphia: There are rain showers in the vicinity and a 70 percent chance of rain throughout the game in Philadelphia for these NFC East rivals. Donovan McNabb has accuracy issues which won't be helped by the rain. Eli Manning hasn't had a very productive few weeks -- not helped by the rain. Both teams also have injuries to their running back corps. This could get ugly offensively.
