This development isn't surprising, given that we're in December, and recent betting data suggests gloomy forecasts for some highly-anticipated games across the league.
According to Josh Inglis of Covers, who posted on X, multiple games are likely to be affected by adverse weather this weekend. Total point predictions have decreased for six upcoming games, primarily due to the anticipation of heavy wind and precipitation in five of them. The other decrease is attributed to the teams' poor offensive performance.
Games like Lions at Bears, Jaguars at Browns, and Texans at Jets have all seen total points drop by at least 4.5 points. Similarly, Rams at Ravens and Colts at Bengals have also been affected by adverse weather forecasts, while the Steelers at Patriots matchup, scheduled for Thursday, is noted for its challenging offensive conditions.
