In a physical battle where running the ball is key, I like the Eagles’ chances against LA in snow.

Yeah, the forecast has certainly changed over the past week. Early in the week, the projections were rain on Saturday and clear and cold on Sunday. A couple of days ago the Sunday component changed to chance of flurries. Now the forecasts seem to have settled on 3-5 inches.

As much as we enjoy snow games, I don't like it when it can affect the outcome of a game especially for the team I am rooting for :ROFLMAO:
Makes it hard for teams especially defense to know where they are going with slippery footing.

I get it. I don't like LA's chances flinging the ball around in snow. Stafford spent years in Detroit. In a dome. There's no solid reason beyond general discomfort with bad weather to believe snow favors LA.

I don't like it because it tends to lead to crazy things happening or bounces. Add in some people take to snow very well like Shady McCoy in that snow game he seemed to have perfect footing and could cut every which way like he was on regular ground yet everyone else looked like it was their first time on ice skates

My wife is not a big football fan. I doubt I’m alone here. But she 100% knows about and follows the self-help book sideline saga.

This is good for business if you’re the NFL. It’s a much smaller version of the Swifties phenomenon. Personalities attract new interest (and make watching games easier for some of us).

I believe snow will help the better running team which is the eagles. Advantage to the runner over defender when it's slippery. Good for shifty runners like mccoy and barkely.

Not sure if the weather influenced this, but the line has moved from -6 to -6.5 and 6 is a key number.
