Commanders vs Eagles Weather and Odds: Windy Conditions Could Affect Kicking Game
One week removed from a 'snow game', Philadelphia will be dry with only windy conditions to navigate as they host Washington in the NFC Championship game.
Lincoln Financial Field won’t be a winter wonderland when the Philadelphia Eagles host the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game.
A week removed from heavy snow in the Divisional Round, the “City of Brotherly Love” is forecasted for a clean and clear climate for this 3 p.m. ET kickoff on Sunday. However, bettors should keep an eye on the winds in South Philly.
The current forecast calls for cloudy skies above The Linc and game-time temperatures in the low 40s on Sunday afternoon. That will drop as the game goes on, with “feels like” temperatures in the low 30s in the second half.
Sustained winds of 10 mph will blow West with gusts getting up to 31 mph, moving sideline to sideline. Bettors will want to pay attention to those winds the closer we get to gameday, as anything above 20 mph can impact kicking.
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott had trouble navigating the wintery mix last weekend, missing two extra points which eventually lead to a 28-22 win that pushed with anyone betting the spread at Philadelphia -6 (yours truly included).
Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez has been steady since joining the roster in mid-November. He’s 9 for 12 on FGAs and a perfect 27 for 27 on PATs. He did, however, go 1 for 2 on field goals in the Divisional Round win over Detroit.
This total opened at 48 points and is now down to 47.5 O/U.
