*NFL odds as of Tuesday afternoon
It's only Tuesday, but the early NFL weather report for Lions vs. Bears is already having an impact on odds for Sunday's game.
Because weather forecasts can shift so dramatically, five days is typically too long for making actionable betting decisions. However, this appears to be different.
While early, let's go ahead and examine the latest NFL weather report for Lions vs. Bears, including how the betting market is already reacting to the expected conditions for Sunday's matchup.
NFL Weather Report: Lions vs. Bears
Again, it's not out of the realm of possibility for Sunday's Lions vs. Bears forecast to shift — but at this point, it's ugly.
According to the Action Network's NFL weather data, temperatures will be in the mid-to-high 30s throughout the game and the whipping winds won't make those feel any warmer.
Steady 17-18 mph breezes are expected at Soldier Field in Chicago, IL, which certainly won't do any favors for either offense in this game.
Winds this strong can easily impact both passing and kicking games, taking potential points off the board.
The NFL betting market has clearly taken note as the Lions vs. Bears over/under has already dipped from its opener of 45.5 to 40.5 — and even to 40 in some spots — as of the time of writing.
In addition, 96% of the money wagered on the Lions vs. Bears total has come in on the under as well, helping to push this total down to the current number.
