The 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game takes place between the Los Angeles Chargers and Detroit Lions on Thursday (8 p.m. ET, NBC), marking the official start of the NFL preseason.
Football fans, analysts and even bettors will show some level of interest in this exhibition, though not many are considering how the latest NFL weather report for Chargers vs. Lions could impact tonight's Hall of Fame Game.
Of course, the NFL weather forecast may not be important to the majority of those tuning into tonight's game, though anyone looking for an edge — be it bettors or DFS players — should certainly be aware of how the conditions at Tom Benson Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, can potentially affect scoring.
With this in mind, let's take a deeper look at the NFL weather report for Chargers vs. Lions, which is already showing a chance of wet and windy conditions today in Canton.
NFL Weather Report for Chargers vs. Lions
According to the National Weather Service, there's a 100% chance of rain in Canton on Thursday afternoon, though it does appear that the precipitation will clear out by kickoff.
The hourly breakdown shows a significant drop in rain chances as the afternoon progresses, with just a 12% chance at tonight's 8 p.m. ET scheduled start.
However, even if the conditions dry out, windy weather will stay.
Action Network's NFL weather feature is calling for 11 mph winds blowing throughout the game, which could make it difficult for both offenses to connect on longer passes through the air, especially when quarterbacks and wide receivers further down the depth chart are expected to see action tonight.
