It’s the final week of the regular season, and there's no shortage of games that could potentially affect your NFL picks.
Let's take a final regular-season trip around the outdoor venues where wind, rain, and other conditions are worth monitoring right up to kickoff.
Here’s the latest NFL betting weather report for Week 18.
Bills vs Patriots Weather
Gillette Stadium will have sustained winds close to 20 mph with gusts getting up to 37 mph, blowing WNW from corner to corner Sunday afternoon. That will drop temperatures in the low 30s to “feel like” 22 degrees.
This total opened at 39.5 and has sunk to as low as 36.5 points. The Bills could give their starters limited run while the Patriots list QB Drake Maye and TE Hunter Henry as questionable.
Dolphins vs Jets Weather
MetLife Stadium will see sustained winds blowing around 20 mph with gusts between 30 and 37 mph blowing WNW and moving corner to corner in East Rutherford. Those winds are expected to lighten in the fourth quarter.
Those gusts will chill game-time temperatures in the low 30s to “feel like” 20 degrees on Sunday afternoon.
That cold weather could put the freeze on the warm-weather Dolphins, although it looks as though QB Tua Tagovailoa (and his cold-weather trends) won’t be on the field. Instead, former Baltimore backup Tyler Huntley will get the start for the Fins.
This total opened at 40.5 and is down to 38.5 O/U for the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
Bears vs Packers Weather
This is set to be the coldest game in Week 18, with temperatures reaching a chilly 17 degrees at kickoff and feeling more like 8 degrees, with sustained winds of 9 mph hitting gusts of 22 mph, blowing north from end to end at Lambeau Field.
Otherwise, the conditions should be fine for Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers to get their offense going against the Chicago Bears. The books have already lifted the total by a point, moving from 40.5 to 41.5.
Giants vs Eagles Weather
What possibly could Philadelphia Eagles fans want to be doing in temperatures that feel like 18 degrees with wind gusts hitting 39 mph – with no Saquon Barkley?
Sustained winds will blow at 21 mph, moving WNW from sideline to sideline at the Linc.
Even though the New York Giants just hung 45 on the Colts, the books don’t imagine they’re hitting those highs against Philly’s backups. The total now sits at 36 O/U.
Chiefs vs Broncos Weather
Snow is expected to stop well before this Week 18 finale at Empower Field at Mile High, but temperatures will "feel like" 26 degrees with wind nearly negligible at 6 mph.
Those conditions can’t swing the line more than a “Patrick Mahomes OUT” headline already did, bringing the Denver Broncos to double-digit favorites in a win-to-get-in scenario.
Most sites are offering a total of 40 points on Sunday morning.
Texans vs Titans Weather
There’s the potential for a sloppy one at Nissan Stadium as the Houston Texans visit the Tennessee Titans. There’s an 96% chance of rain, and while the weather will hover around the mid-30s degrees, wind gusts could hit as high as 21 mph.
Rain will be heavier in the first half before settling in the final 30 minutes. However, winds could pick up in the second half, blowing ESE from sideline to sideline in Nashville.
This total opened at 36.5 and jumped to 38.5 before Under money came in due to the weather, sliding this number back to 36.5 O/U.
