The wait is over. Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season is here, and we’ve got football games that actually count this weekend.
One aspect of NFL betting that can sometimes be overlooked is the weather. While it doesn’t happen often, there are occasions when Mother Nature can have an impact on a game. And while rain or snow can be unpleasant for fans attending the game live, the wind is actually the most consistent factor to look at when it comes to the weather.'
High winds often impact passing games and kicking games. Wind can impact quarterback accuracy and production, forcing teams to go to the ground more often, which keeps the clock running. And teams may be more willing to go for it on fourth down rather instead of attempting a moderate or long-range field goal.
Obviously, heavy rain and snow, along with extreme temperatures, can impact games too. But those factors are far less frequent.
