What teams that are playing tonight will be hurt by weather?

I think it's harder for the secondary to guard the spread in sloppy conditions. The WR knows where he's going (supposedly)...it's harder for the DB to react and stay close to the WR on a sloppy field. Of course the QB needs to be able to throw a wet ball.
I wouldn't necessarily say "spread teams" will be hurt. It depends on what type of spread team we are talking about. A "spread team" that throws the ball a lot will probably be hurt by the weather more than a spread team that runs the ball more. So a game like Blacksburg vs LCA might be closer than what's expected because both teams like to sling it around a lot but might not be able to as effectively.
