Don't know how much truth there is to this.
They are two of the highest-flying offenses (at times, anyway), and the total sits at a “mere” 51 rather than the 54 we’d expect between these sorts of teams. What gives?
Possibly, the weather. Frankfurt Stadium has a retractable roof; therefore, it’s highly likely it will be closed if there is precipitation in the forecast to preserve the fan experience.
However, if somehow it’s open, the forecast calls for medium-strength winds with consistent rains. The Chiefs have had trouble catching the ball at times, and Tua Tagovailoa has subpar arm strength by NFL QB standards. Defenses in this game should have a fighting chance if playing in any type of conditions.
Also of note here, even if the roof is closed, is the field surface. The NFL is installing a hybrid field. That comes a year after players complained about the natural grass in Munich. The goal here is obviously improved traction, but with a brand new field installed last week, this is something bettors should be watching for early in the game as well.
NFL Weather: 54 F, 80% chance of precipitation, winds 10 to 20 mph
