Both of Sunday's Conference Championship Games will be played in outdoor stadiums, so it's important to check the latest NFL weather reports for 49ers vs. Eagles and Bengals vs. Chiefs before betting either of the games.
Interestingly, the updated NFL weather report is showing very similar conditions for both games, including the potential for both cold and windy conditions.
With this in mind, let's dive into the forecasts for both Conference Championship Games, including how weather could impact NFL picks.
NFL Weather Report for Sunday
49ers vs. Eagles Weather Report
3 p.m. ET | FOX
According to the National Weather Service, high temperatures should hit the low 50s with a slight chance of rain in Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon.
But more importantly, 5-15 mph winds are expected today at Lincoln Financial Field, which could certainly have a negative effect on scoring.
Windy weather impacts the accuracy of both quarterbacks and kickers, making it more difficult for offenses to put up points.
Bengals vs. Chiefs Weather Report
6:30 p.m. ET | CBS
It will be significantly colder in Kansas City than in Philadelphia on Sunday, with a kickoff temperature of 16 degrees expected for Bengals vs. Chiefs.
But just like 49ers vs. Eagles, the weather should be both dry and windy at Arrowhead Stadium with a 0% percent chance of rain and steady breezes of 11-15 mph, including gusts of 23 mph, on Sunday night.
According to live NFL odds, the Bengals vs. Chiefs over/under is down to 48 at most sportsbooks across the market — down from its opener at 51.5 at FanDuel Sportsbook.
