7. The Kicker: Remaining Tremendous Bowl climate forecast

Holding an outside Tremendous Bowl is at all times a raffle as a result of climate, but it surely seems the NFL goes to luck out this 12 months and get surprisingly good climate for the sport. Though there had been rain within the forecast for many of the week, it is now wanting like there are going to be clear skies in Tampa by the point the sport kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET. 

With that in thoughts, this is the present climate report for the sport: 

Chiefs vs. Buccaneers in Tampa
Projected climate: Clear skies
Projected temperature: 67 levels at kickoff right down to 60 by the top of the sport
Likelihood of rain: 6% likelihood of rain for the day with 2% likelihood at kickoff
Winds: NNW 5-7 mph

When you think about the truth that there was a TORNADO WATCH final evening in Tampa, that is one of the best state of affairs the NFL might have requested for. All of the rain must be leaving Tampa by 3 p.m., which suggests it must be a non-factor within the Tremendous Bowl.   

Hopefully this text will give you sufficient studying materials to get you thru to the sport. As for me, I will be consuming corn canines from now till kickoff and crossing my fingers that neither kicker pulls a Scott Norwood.
