The Bills-Steelers playoff game is expected to have near-record wind and inches of snow.

The Bills-Steelers playoff game is expected to have near-record wind and inches of snow.

This weekend, states across the country could see record-low temperatures, which comes just in time for wild card weekend in the NFL playoffs and could affect several games.

The Kansas City Chiefs-Miami Dolphins extra card game on Saturday could be one of those coldest NFL playoff games ever.

This is especially true in the AFC. The No. 2 seed Buffalo Bills (11-6) as well as the No. 7 seed Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7) might meet in a wild-card game on Sunday, which could also be very cold.

The temperature will be important for this game because it is the first time in Buffalo that these two teams have played in the playoffs.

On Saturday, AccuWeather says the high will be 24 degrees and the winds will gust close to 50 miles per hour.

Those would be some of the strongest winds ever seen at an NFL game. The Cincinnati Bengals or the San Diego Chargers played in the 1982 AFC championship game.

It was below zero outside, and the wind gusted over 50 mph. In December 2021, the Bills lost 14–10 to the Patriots in a Monday Night Football game with winds gusting up to 55 mph.

Several states across the country are expecting record-low temperatures this weekend, which will affect several NFL playoff games on wild card weekend.

The Kansas City Chiefs-Miami Dolphins spring card game on Saturday could be one of the coldest NFL playoff games ever.

This is especially true in the AFC. On Saturday, AccuWeather says the high will be 24 degrees and the winds will gust close to 50 miles per hour.

The weather will be important because this is the first playoff game in Buffalo and the fourth time these two teams have played each other. AccuWeather says that Highmark Stadium will get over seven inches of snow on Sunday.

Both teams are expected to have a rough day. Pittsburgh will have a little better weather. At Acrisure Stadium, it will be sunny but below freezing, and there will be winds that reach up to 30 mph.

Sunday in Orchard Park could have typical January weather. The National Weather Service within Buffalo says the high will be around 25 degrees and there is a 70% chance of rain. Sunday at 1 p.m., the game starts at Highmark Stadium.

The AccuWeather prediction gives more information about the weather and says that snow squalls will bring about 3.5 inches of snow. Winds from the west are blowing at 21 mph, and gusts could reach 41 mph.

With an 80% chance of rain or snow and a high of 24 degrees, the prediction is almost certain of snow.

Worries about the weather forecast It’s possible that Sunday caused the over/under in the Buffalo Bills game to drop from 41.5 on Sunday night to 36.5. People are interested in the expected snow, but the wind is more likely to have a bigger effect on the game.

RotoGrinders has marked the Bills game via an orange weather effect flag because of the cold temps, steady winds of around 15 mph, and possible snow.

It will be the same for the Miami Dolphins vs. Kansas City Chiefs game because it will be very cold—around 0 degrees by the end of the day.

If the game gets buried within lake effect snow, that will be the “wild card” in the forecast. It’s becoming more likely that will happen: A winter storm watch was just put out by the National Weather Service for most of Western New York this afternoon. This includes Orchard Park when the Bills play.

The watch was in place from Saturday afternoon to Monday morning and said that it could snow more than 7 inches and have winds as high as 60 mph over the weekend.
