This Afternoon: Rain. High near 46. Breezy, with a north wind between 22 and 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

Tonight: Rain. Low around 40. Breezy, with a north wind between 17 and 24 mph, with gusts as high as 34 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

It sure does look like it. I don't think the rain will be as big a factor as the wind. With Tenn's DB's being depleted the passing game would be huge but the wind could hinder the Patriots passing game.

I don't think the rain will be much of a factor, but the wind can be. It will depend on how hard it is gusting and what direction the wind is blowing.

Gillette Stadium is positioned almost north and south and the wind is from the north. Crosswind causes problems for the passing game more than head/tail wind. If these wind forecasts are correct then the affect of the wind would be equivalent to 5-15mph. Not nearly as problematic.

Is the closed end of the stadium on the south or north side. If it is the south side, the wind will be trapped in the stadium and create swirling winds. If open end is the south end, then with win has a way to escape the stadium.

Well, this does put a bit of a dent in my hopes for the TFB and Co. pass-o-rama game to finally get a good chance to click. But on the plus side, I believe it's supposed to be equally crapola weather for Jets v Buffalo. Let's see how the California Boy Sanchez handles the schmutzy Northeast weather. Something tells me not so good!

GO PATS!!!!

I have been to every game ever played at Gillette and I am here to tell you - it is impossible to figure the wind and it's effect there (unlike old Foxboro stadium, where it was pretty easy to figure it out, but, really hard to kick in it).

The wind swirls like crazy at Gillette -the flags on top of the stadium often blow opposite of the way the flags on top of goal posts do.

We have seen many times when flags on top of goal posts are opposite of the goal posts on the other end and even, sometimes on the same goal post.

Only "meat" knows for sure!!
