- Temperature level: Low 20s, dropping throughout the video game
- Rainfall:
- Wind: 13 miles per hour northerly, with gusts approximately 21 miles per hour
Fortunately for both groups is that temperature levels are not anticipated to be as low as in 2015, however it will still be relatively cold. The temperature level will be around 5-10 Fahrenheit listed below freezing, however it is going to feel a lot chillier. With continual winds over 10 miles per hour and gusts over 20 miles per hour, the temperature level is going to feel near to 10 Fahrenheit throughout the video game.
Temperature levels listed below 30 Fahrenheit do tend to affect the result of the video game. Over the previous years, the typical points scored in video games dipped into 30 Fahrenheit or above is 45.71.
An average of 41.13 points has actually been scored in 53 video games played in temperature levels in between 20 and 30 Fahrenheit, and an average of 39.68 points has actually been scored in 25 video games played with a temperature level in between 10 and 20 Fahrenheit.
We then see a drop in dream output in those video games, with a typical drop of around 10% when the temperature level is up to in between 10 and 30 Fahrenheit. All of that drop-off can be found in the death video game, with the run video game seeing comparable outputs in regards to dream points despite the temperature levels.
While continual wind speeds of 10-13 miles per hour and gusts over 20 miles per hour need to not be dismissed, they do not substantially increase the more basic effect of the cold temperature levels. The primary effect begins the kicking video game, where we see basket success rates on kicks over 50 backyards plunge to listed below 50%, however from within 50, there is little noteworthy effect.
The supreme takeaway here is that this video game is most likely to be a little lower scoring than a video game played in warmer temperature levels. Offered this is currently predicted to be a protective fight, with the most affordable overall of the week, that would make you lean towards not filling your DFS lineup with a lot of gamers from this video game.
