but are you more worried about the weather? or the KC crowd? I think the weather is overhyped, last I heard it'll be in the mid 20's and at worst it'll feel like mid/high teens. If it was super windy or snowy/rainy that'd be different but yeah I just don't see it being a huge factor. IDK. obviously it doesn't affect every player/position the same way
Going to have wait until we're closer, but some of the original reports I saw had it at -3 - 10, and Brady/NE historically have done poorly in weather that bad. In fact, I don't think there's ever been a highscoring game when the weather started in the -s. The crowd factor is more troubling, but if it's actually that cold, it'll hopefully impact their ability to be as loud as they normally are.
None of these factors are make or break imo, unless it ends up being a blizzard or some shit. The most important match-up is our offensive line versus their rush. We need to protect Tom, if we do that, we win.
E: Hadn't checked it today, but they were talking about an "Arctic Blast" hitting KC, if it hits, it's impossible to know how the game is going to go. Weather that cold has a HUGE impact on football games. Saw a stat while looking that up that no team has ever scored over 30 when it's been in the negatives to start, which is nuts.
