anyone know how bad the weather is going to be in Washington? This could be a big factor in the game.
Raining right now

news.
Why

Is it good news. If it rains, who would it favor?
rain favors

the worse team because it evens the odds a bit with slips, dropped passes, fumbles,etc. The Giants are a passing team and the better team (rested coming off a bye), so it would help Washington.
I feel

it favors Washington they are the better running team.
Also

we have no TE close to Reed in a short passing game.
Light rain until midday

Washington is 25th and the Giants 26th in the league rushing the football, with almost an exact ypc. They are both equally inept running the ball.
I would trust Eli much more than I would cousins

In foul weather. Think bad weather helps us
I'm 40 mins from the stadium

It's really light rain. Doesn't seem like enough to be a factor
Weather is fine  
ZogZerg : 11/29/2015 10:05 am : link
just a light rain. Shouldn't be a factor at all.
Jordan Raanan is predicting issues...

Keep this is mind. FedEd Field is known to be a mess. Rain only adds to problems. #Giants
I'd think a light rain

would make it difficult for Eli (and Cousins) to grip the football properly.
Never understood weather helping the worse team

Both play in it. And wouldn't you think the better team can execute in harsher conditions?

It's why Kirk led Khan into the nebula; evened everything up.

Because the biggest thing that can help inferior teams is turnovers. Rainy, wet conditions can result in turnovers. Of course both teams are playing in the same conditions, but turnovers can be the great equalizer for lesser teams.

Excellent analogy. The weather is the same on both sides of the field. We also won the ice bowl in Green Bay in 2008.

Perfect. Kirk had a broken up ship so he did it to even the odds, just like the deadskins.
