This Sunday, Philadelphia Eagles will host the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round of the playoffs, with snow expected during the game. The kickoff temperature is predicted to be around 33 degrees, making it one of the coldest home games for the Eagles since 2022, with a 99% chance of precipitation.
The National Weather Service predicts 5-7 inches of snow throughout the day, with 1-3 inches expected during the game window from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Wind gusts are anticipated to be mild, likely not affecting the kicking game significantly. Philadelphia has issued a Winter Storm Warning, underscoring the severity of the impending weather.
Matthew Stafford's history in cold weather is mixed, having played only two games below 40 degrees since joining the Rams in 2021. Conversely, the Eagles have performed well in colder conditions this season, hinting at a potential advantage for the home team. Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has previously excelled in various games, although his performances in cold weather are less consistent.
