Sunday night will see the highly anticipated NFC divisional playoff game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles. Given their rivalry, the Eagles currently lead the series with 24 wins to the Rams’ 20, with one tie.
Moreover, both teams are riding high after big wins in last week’s wild-card games. Despite the excitement surrounding the Rams vs Eagles game, recent weather forecasts in Philadelphia suggest that heavy snow could potentially impact the game at Lincoln Financial Field.
The National Weather Service predicts a 70% chance of precipitation, with temperatures around 35°F (1.5°C) at kickoff. This could bring 1 to 3 inches of snow during the Eagles vs Rams game, making it one of the coldest matchups the Eagles have hosted in recent years.

While the Eagles are accustomed to playing in cold weather, the Rams, hailing from sunny Los Angeles, may find it difficult to adjust. Snow is expected to start before the game and continue throughout, which could make visibility and field conditions tricky.
With winds ranging from 8 to 13 mph, the wind chill will feel like it’s in the low 20s at halftime, which will make it difficult for players. The NFL betting odds have already dropped, with the total points going from 45.5 to 42.5. They could change even more as the weather unfolds.
