Weather watch: 16 mph wind for Cardinals at Giants

Forecast at kickoff Sunday 1 PM ET. In wind of 15+ mph, favorites have won 62% against a 65% forecast over 27 seasons; The System shrinks toward 50.

Weather is one of the few things the betting market prices loosely, because it is only known a few days out and most money is down before that. Over 4,500 outdoor games with weather on record, wind was the clearest effect: it takes away the passing edge a favorite usually has, and games score about a point and a half under the total.

The forecast comes from Open-Meteo for the stadium at the kickoff hour and refreshes every six hours, so this can change before Sunday. The game page shows the current reading.
