Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 41. North wind around 7 mph.

Sunday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 32.


So, it looks like it's going to be a cool/cold evening by the 2nd half. The ball will not be as soft as it is in the climate controlled Lube. But the wind is going to be light and there is no rain or snow expected.

What effect, if any, will this have on the game?

Probably minimal impact...except Graham makes me nervous even in a dome

I was hoping for this

or this:



but I'll take this:



I wonder what are the comparative records of the Patriots and Colts over the past decade with a gametime temperature under 40 degrees.

unless there is some kind of precip, I dont think that those temps will affect the game much. I know its not a cushy 70 degrees but its not extreme enough to make a difference. IMO.

Uhm, you will have to wear a coat?

Probably not. New Englanders are used to real winter weather.

Don't have that, but here's a good breakdown on Manning:

Peyton Manning - Indianapolis Colts - Split Statistics - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

Manning's career rating is 95.1. In 21-40 degrees it's 86.9. Not much of a difference (Edit: Actually, almost 10 pts....)and his Y/A are fractionally higher (7.7 vs 7.6 career). His TD:INT ratio does seem to suffer -- he's 382:185 lifetime, 14:10 in 20-40 degrees.

Here's the breakdown for Brady:

Tom Brady - New England Patriots - Split Statistics - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

Looks like similarly slight drops in the cold (Edit: actually, not .. goes from 93.7 overall to 91.9 in cold; not nearly as bad) , though his TD:INT ratio doesn't slip as much.

I'd have to look it up, but I don't believe he's won in Foxboro when it dipped below 40 degrees.

No snow, so no effect.
