The weather can change the outcome of football games. Bad weather has a tendency of keeping games close and improving the underdogs ability of winning against the spread and even winning outright, due to additional turnovers occurring  frequently in bad weather conditions. The defense becomes further significant and generally results in low scoring games. On offense the passing game is usually restrained to short passes quite often during extremely cold and stormy weather, more concentration is placed on the ground game, which aids the team with the better running game. Incidentally the team with the better kicking squad has a big advantage over their opponent. These are just a few variables in dealing with the meteorological situation, rain, cold, hot, windy, humidity, altitude and so on.  Remember to be aware of the weather in analyzing a football contest.
