NFL Week 16 Weather & Betting Lines

The Almanac's Take

Cleveland is the story this week. BUF-CLE sits at 41.5 with 25-degree temps and 16 mph winds off Lake Erie — that's a punishing combination for a total that's already modest. MetLife isn't far behind: MIN-NYG carries a 41.5 total too, and 20 mph wind at an open stadium in late December will test every deep route on the field. Seattle and LA square off at 42.5 with 17 mph gusts, so three of the slate's windiest games are also among its lower totals — the market is already pricing the elements in. The indoor games, including PIT-DET at 52.5 and LAC-DAL at 50.5, are where the points projections breathe freely.
