Warm Weather Teams vs Cold Weather Teams

[thesandman]

The temperture forcast at kickoff in New England today is 29 degrees. Jacksonville is a warm weather team. I don't remember the exact numbers but WARM WEATHER teams playing where the temperture is under 40 degrees at kickoff DONT COVER.

This is easy. Play New England -7.5

19 degrees, I agree, don't think that ankle will feel that great looking at that Pat D in the freezing cold

Jax is 2-0 in the cold weather.....also they are the last team to have beaten new england in the playoffs, which means nada.....good luck

Tony. The last time these two teams played each other was December 14, 2003 at New England. The Pats won 27-13 as 6 point favorites. Since 1992 New England is 4-1 SU against Jacksonville, which may mean nada going back that far. When was the playoff game that Jax won over N.E.

I live in Daytona. Jacksonville is 90 miles north of Daytona. It's been a colder than normal winter. I'm certain it's been colder in Jax.

Will NE still cover? Possibly. I wouldn't use weather as a capping factor.

Frank. It won tonight, although I will agree NE would have won and covered, regardless of the weather. I've used weather as a capping factor ever since I learned some time ago that Tampa Bay had never covered a game when it was less than 40 degrees at kickoff. It worked great until Tampa won outright at Philly in the playoffs. It won't be a factor anymore this year because all the warm weather teams are gone.
