NFL Week 1 Weather Report
Weather impacts on fantasy and wagering for the NFL
Sep 6, 2019, 6:55 am
Welcome back to another season of the weekly football weather report. Your one stop shop for information on how the weather will impact the games you care about, whether from a fantasy or wagering perspective. In an effort to keep things from getting stagnant around here I have changed up the format this year. I have taken the SportsMap name quite literally, and created an interactive map that you can zoom, scroll, and click on with all of your game and weather information.
On the map above you will find pins in each location where there is an outdoor game this week (color coded to the home team), as well as an overlay showing where precipitation is forecast on Sunday afternoon. Now here is the nifty part - when you click on a pin it will display both the weather information for that game as well as my take on how the conditions will impact players for fantasy purposes.
Hopefully you find this format change to be useful and slightly more engaging. I plan to continue tinkering with this set up and will be adding additional information in the future, including select college games.
If you have any questions or thoughts feel free to find me on Twitter @stephenuzick.
Happy football season everyone!

Houston’s suffocating defense wiped away a 14-point deficit over the final eight minutes and erased Cooper Flagg and Duke’s title hopes Saturday in a 70-67 stunner over the Blue Devils at the Final Four.
Duke made a grand total of one field goal over the last 10 1/2 minutes of this game. The second-to-last attempt was a step-back jumper in the lane by Flagg that J’Wan Roberts disrupted. The last was a desperation heave by Tyrese Proctor that caught nothing at the buzzer.
It was Roberts’ two free throws with 19.6 seconds left that gave the Cougars their first lead since 6-5. LJ Cryer, who led Houston with 26 points, made two more to push the lead to three. It was Houston’ biggest lead of the night.
The Cougars, who never won a title, not even in the days of Phi Slama Jamma, will play Florida on Monday night for the championship.
