It’s that time of year when weather plays a huge role in the outcome of many games. By paying attention to the weather reports around the country, you can benefit in a couple of ways. First, if potential bad weather is being reported early in the week, you might want to take a look at the total. By taking a lead on the number, it sets you up in a great situation if the weather report turns out to be accurate. You can then buy back the adjusted number at kickoff and try to play for a middle. If the total is set between key numbers like 37 and 41, then this would be the strategy to employ. Or you can stand pat with the best number, and let the game play out. Over the long haul, I’d say you’re better off playing it this way when the key numbers are not involved. It simply comes down to personal preference though and you should determine your action on a case by case basis.
