According to the far out forecast, the high next Sunday is 19° and the low is around 13°.
Personally, I think this would be great. We know that Mahomes can sling it in those conditions, he proved it last year at Denver and today to some degree. Idk about Brady and Rivers though, as they are older and their arms aren’t quite what they used to be. Not saying they couldn’t throw it, but I think it could have a negative effect on them.
Thoughts?
Also, this from Pete Sweeney:

He just doesn't like Mahomes because Mahomes is too good too early in his career and Mahomes is at home for this game. And Mahomes has not had his first 'meltdown game' yet. I've always said, sports talk show guys are just extremely frustrated "wanna be athletes that never were" that are attention whores who can only compete with their words that more often than not are still way off the mark.:-) [Reply]

Everybody said last week's weather heavily favored the Colts too. Oh well.
I do know this:
We all know what happens to the volume of air as the temperature falls below freezing. At least Brady won't have to purposefully tamper with balls this weekend, Mother Nature doing all the work for him. [Reply]

I expect short punts, returnable kickoffs, dropped passes, and several fumbles by both teams. [Reply]

The pressure will go down but the ball will be rock hard, and good luck to Brady throwing through the heaviest air he's every played in. [Reply]
We’re undecided about going. Coming up from central OK. The Saturday snow worries me about driving five hours in it. We can handle the Sunday cold. [Reply]

Yeah, I'm far more concerned with the drive than the cold. Doesn't look like there's any way for me to avoid the snow coming down from the Chicago area, and as a result, the drive time will probably be through the roof. I can generally get to Kansas City in about seven hours - I figure it'll probably be 10+ this time. :-) [Reply]
I've never taken cardboard in to stand on before, but I just might this time. I should put the Patriots logo on it, so that way I'm stomping around on it the entire game. :-) [Reply]

We're driving down on Sunday since we only have about 3 hours to drive. The roads should be clear by then, the snow is supposed to stop about noon on Saturday. [Reply]

Game doesn't start until 5:30...you have plenty of time to drive on Sunday. [Reply]

But everyone will be wearing ski masks and wool and have their face covered and they will be huddling instead of standing and cheering so The Brady's win! [Reply]

I laughed when I heard him say that a well... Arrowhead will be amped... [Reply]
