Tropical Storm Debby continues to make its way up the East Coast, and based on the latest Lions vs. Giants weather report, will have an impact on Thursday's NFL preseason matchup.
Both rain and wind are in the Lions vs. Giants forecast, which is likely top of mind for both NFL bettors and DFS players.
Below we've detailed the updated weather report for Thursday night's game at MetLife Stadium, including just how wet and windy it's expected to be.
Rain Forecasted in Latest Lions vs. Giants Weather Report
According to the National Weather Service, there's a 70% chance of rain with up to a quarter-inch of precipitation in East Rutherford, N.J. tonight.
In addition, 7-9 mph winds could blow throughout Lions vs. Giants, which certainly won't make it easy on the offenses.
Specifically, the hourly breakdown shows a 53% chance of precipitation from 7 p.m. ET — tonight's scheduled kick off — through the rest of the night.
These weather conditions may not be extreme, but the betting market appears to have taken notice as well.
Live NFL odds show the Giants as 3.5-point favorites against the Lions, with the over/under sitting at 34.5.
However, this total opened at 36.5 and has steadily dropped throughout the week, likely due to bettors becoming aware of how Tropical Storm Debby could impact Lions vs. Giants.
Interestingly, 90% of the tickets wagered on this total have come in on the over thus far, but don't be surprised to see weather-motivated action showing up on the under between now and kick off.
