Although Carolina’s offense has been more productive with Andy Dalton under center, both units own a bottom-eight EPA per play through the four games. Their respective passing attacks could struggle even more on Sunday, with 17 mph winds in the forecast at Soldier Field. The wind gusts could reach up to 25 mph.

As of this publication, Bears vs. Panthers involves the fourth-lowest total among NFL Week 5 odds. Since Chicago’s defense has let up the ninth-worst success rate across the league, this game could deliver a low-scoring affair.

Nevertheless, both offenses boast a top-10 pace, meaning they could play more uptempo if the weather does not hinder their performance.

If Jaguars fans (and bettors) haven’t been tortured enough, there is a 62% chance of rain at EverBank Stadium on Sunday afternoon. To boot, the forecast includes 14 mph winds.

Unlike Bears vs. Panthers, this tilt features one of the higher totals this week, correlating with the teams’ poor defensive ratings and injuries. In particular, Jacksonville has surrendered the fourth-most EPA per play, while Indianapolis is slightly below the league average.

We’ll find out if the potential forecast affects Trevor Lawrence and Co., which began to return to form versus the Texans.

There’s a 57% chance of rain in this high-profile contest on Sunday Night Football. This NFL weather forecast may impact Pittsburgh’s run-heavy offense more than Dallas.

With Steelers right guard James Daniels expected to land on injured reserve, he will represent the third member of the offensive line to be lost for the season. Center Nate Herbig was injured during training camp, and rookie right tackle Troy Fautanu reaggravated a knee injury in Week 2 that he first suffered early in the preseason.

Granted, Justin Fields faced a negative script versus the Colts, generating a season-high 34 pass attempts. However, his comeback attempt occurred in a dome. We’ve yet to see his skillset acclimate to heavy rain in Arthur Smith’s offense.
