Each week, the NFL weather reports loom large. Ignoring them could be detrimental to your NFL betting resume, as they can help you find a winning bet or avoid a loser. In November, rainy conditions often impact the slate. As of Tuesday, this especially applies to the Chargers at Browns, Lions at Packers, and Buccaneers at Chiefs games.

These forecasts are subject to change. Monitor potential situations throughout the week to see how they’re evolving. Check back in the coming days for how the weather may affect odds for NFL Week 9 at sites with the top NFL betting promos.

Following an upset win over Baltimore, Jameis Winston and Co. host the Chargers, with a 51% chance of rain in the forecast.

Don’t forget that Jim Harbaugh’s defense boasts a stingier secondary than what Winston saw in Week 8. If Huntington Bank Field has a wet surface throughout this matchup, the total of 42 (-110) on DraftKings could go under. While the Chargers’ offense has been more aggressive through the air lately, it would likely lean on its ground game in these conditions, especially with a lead.

These teams are a combined 11-5 to the under this season, and Los Angeles has gone under the current total in every game.

There’s a strong chance of rain at Lambeau Field, currently estimated at 65% throughout this NFC North tilt. But in a game that features two explosive offenses, the total is lined at 48.5 (-110) on Bet365.

For those who can stomach betting on the under, I wouldn’t be surprised to see that result play out if the weather impacts one or both quarterbacks. Although each defense surrenders an above-average passing success rate, excluding plays that result in a turnover, Jared Goff’s outdoor struggles and Jordan Love’s groin injury create cause for concern.

The defending Super Bowl champions wrap up this week’s NFL weather report, with our attention on Arrowhead Stadium. The forecast for MNF odds shows a 74% precipitation probability during the first three quarters of action.

Despite Tampa Bay dropping consecutive games, straight up and against the spread, some bettors will naturally flock toward the road underdog catching over a touchdown. But remember that the Bucs’ receiving depth has taken a massive hit with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin sidelined. If Baker Mayfield faces a negative game script in these conditions, their offense could be in for a long night.
