There is only a 1% chance of precipitation for the game itself. Therefore, the players will possibly only have to battle the wind and the cold.
When the game kicks off, it is projected to be about 28 degrees. The real feel for the game, meanwhile, is expected to be 15 degrees.
Soldier Field, where the same is taking place, is open-air and does not have a roof. This is a disadvantage for the players, considering the weather can be rough in Chicago in January.
