Supposedly it's gonna be low 30's with high chance of snow Sunday Night. Who do you think this effects most and why?

30's is perfect football weather. The temp won't effect the game. If it snows that obviously effects the game in obvious ways

Bad weather generally favors a ground game. We have a great one. NY has a very poor one. I'd put a check mark in our column.

This.

Our offense is built for bad weather. Wind and snow affect the passing game more than the running game. If it's really bad, it might help mask some of our defensive shortcomings too.

The only thing I'm not sure about is how Dak performs in cold and bad weather.

As long as it isnt raining, I dont see the temp being that much of factor at 30.

I dont know if snow automatically puts the game in our favor. Just means the Giants will put everyone in the box, making it more difficult To run. Will be an ugly game if there is indeed snow

It very much depends on the type of bad weather.

Wind is the biggest killer of passing game.

If the field is slick but it's not raining that actually favors the passing game. Receivers know where they are going, corners don't and often slip or fall.

Game time rain and a slick ball on the other hand...impacts passers and some QBs more than others. (The way Troy gripped the ball, he was horrible in rain)

Ice would be the worst thing of all for the quality of play and entertainment quality.

With heavy snow or snow drifts you may have visibility issues which could hinder downfield pass plays.

The biggest things to wish for is no freezing rain or ice and above all... light winds.

I'm seeing mid 30s and only a 20 -30% chance of precip.

Other than Odell crying.
exactly, I live 2.5 hours due west from the meadowlands, little to no snow, plus not forecasted until late, playing conditions should be fine,,,

Favors us. Giants are a short dink-n-dunk passing game. Eli usually burns us with the deep ball as well. The bad weather could take that away.

I cant see ground and pound football not favoring us. This team is built to hit you in the mouth and in cold weather it will hurt even more. The vagiants will have many 3 and outs with thier putrid run game. I smell blood, the thought of tearing these guys and thier bumping gums apart is about as excited as Ive been all year.

Does playing in this type of weather tend to cause more injuries? I hope not because we're one of the more healthier teams in the league right now, especially on offense.
