Why weather matters for NFL totals
Wind is the weather factor that moves scoring the most. Steady wind of about 15 mph or more makes deep passes and field goals harder, which usually pushes teams toward the run game and can lower the score. Heavy rain and snow add fumbles and slow the passing game. Stadiums with a roof or a closed dome take weather out of the picture.
Sportsbooks adjust totals for forecast weather, so a windy game's total is often already lower than normal by the time you see it. The forecast alone is not an edge. We flag winds of 15 mph or more in red.
