I heard they got the practice bubble down to 50 degrees this week and it will only be 60 there? Now that's crazy.

Its gonna be 66 (freakin' 66!!!!) Here in NJ on Sunday, so I wouldn't be shocked if it gets into the high 50's or low 60's up there. Good for us.

The forecast gets better and better everyday. The exact same thing happened for the Jets game, they called for a blizzard a week in advance and it turned out to be a great day for football.
We couldn't have any more factors for this game in our favor even with a magic wand.
The Bills lack of playoff hopes,rain and christmas eve 2 days prior will keep a lot of Bills fans home or elsewhere,the lack of a sell out is telling.
Looking at the schedule mid season the Bills game stood out as the worse weather game on the schedule Temp/wind/snow.Now 2 of the 3 are out of the equation.Our short passing game is picking up in leaps and bounds,our running game has shown some signs of life and our medium to med-long passing game is our bread and butter.Just like the Pats we've played the Bills and know what they want to do and the Phins have a solid chance of taking this game.

50 and 80% chance of rain, that's as is good as its going to get in Buffalo in December. Dolphins needs to practice with wet balls, fumbles could be costly.
Plus winds expected to be around 20 mph, that could hurt passing game and kicking. That's the real issue.

So, I'm pretty sure it's going to be snowing in the Super Bowl too

There usually is bigger winds when a warm front in with cold right behind it, which it is supposed to be 27 monday so.....
but hayden, the wind is the kicker here. The wind affects everyones game. It makes both teams think about defending one endzone over the other for the 4th quarter, skip FG's and go for it on 4th down, ect ect.
Just because the Bills live in this town, doesnt mean they practice in it everyday. They have a field house they practice in every day. They like to go long to the two speedsters and Woods. The wind will be on our side there.
Tannehill has a strong throw for intermediate passes even in the wind depending on which direction the throw vs. the wind is going.
And wind can be very judgemental in forecasts. It may mean gusts up to 25 mph. But its like 10-15 most of the time. But anyhoo, I dont think it a big deal unless it gets really wet, which means sloppy football for both teams.

He doesn't give a crap what you think
Read option with Tanney watch... (then will even dump a pass or two after they get the Jills to commit to Tanney's run)
They should turn on sprinklers in the practice bubble. Yep get some hoses and some sprinklers and make them slosh around until they get it perfect.
If they have no sprinklers, they need to install some.

From what I read it is suppose to be steady rain from now untill 11:00am Sunday,then lighter rain (showers) game time.Whats funny is after Sunday into monday the temperatures drop back into the 20's.This storm would be brutal if it was all snow.
Whats cool is it will be one of those messy hardcore rain games.

They aren't even calling for much precipitation anymore, 90% chance of precip for 5mm with low winds in mild temps for December. If it rains at all it'll likely just be a drizzle or a mist. Not bad, not bad at all.
