There are a lot of different storylines happening in this game. Tyreek Hill’s return to Kansas City, Tua Tagovailoa can’t play in the cold, or the Chiefs dynasty is slowly crumbling…. Take your pick. However, one thing you should know about this game is that it will be absolutely freezing. The forecast has Kansas City around zero degrees on Saturday night, but with 15-30 MPH winds it is expected to fe el like -30 degrees.
Let’s get into my +545 Same Game Parlay that I made at FanDuel Sportsbook.
Tua Tagovailoa Under 237.5 Passing Yards (-114)
There's a stereotype going around that Tua Tagovailoa can't perform in the cold weather. Well, it's sort of true. Tagovailoa has struggled in the cold weather in his short NFL career, and his stats back it up. In fact, the Dolphins have lost their last 10 straight games when the kickoff temperature is below 40 degrees. Saturday's showdown will be well below that mark, as the forecast has Kansas City projected to be around zero degrees at kickoff. However, the wind will be howling at Arrowhead and it is expected to feel like -30. Whether it's Tagovailoa or a different quarterback, it will be difficult to throw the ball if they can't feel their hands. Plus, he has stayed under this number in 3 of Miami's last 4 games. I'm expecting both teams to keep the ball on the ground a lot since that appears to be the best way to win in these frigid conditions.
