The northeast is expecting windy, rainy weather on Sunday, and this weather system is affecting today's Raiders vs. Jets over/under.
This total opened at 47 and was already trending toward a lower-scoring game based on the metrics.
Before any mention of ugly weather at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, The Action Network's Sean Koerner made this total 46.5, highlighting value on the under.
In addition, the Raiders and Jets rank 20th and 29th, respectively, in Football Outsiders' situational-neutral pace statistic, showing that neither unit is in much of a rush on the offensive side of the ball.
Now throw in the Raiders vs. Jets weather forecast, and we have all the makings of a game going under the closing total.
Let's take a detailed look at the expected weather for today's game at MetLife Stadium at the Meadowlands.
