Week 7 is here. And yes, the Chiefs are ready to face the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium. The anticipation is also at an all-time high! But something else might be shaking up this game. Yup, the weather. Planning to watch or be there in person? Be ready, coz the forecast might have a few surprises up its sleeve.

So, here’s the deal for game day. According to NFLWeather.com, it’s looking like partly cloudy skies with maybe a slight chance of light rain. Temps are going to swing between 50°F and 77°F, so you might start chilly and end up shedding that jacket by halftime. Humidity’s around 30%, so nothing too intense, but enough to notice.

Now, about the wind. It’s expected to hit around 9-16 mph. Not tornado-level or anything. But yeah! It’s definitely enough to mess with some long throws or those field goal attempts.

Do you know how Mahomes likes to launch it? This wind could make things a little trickier for him and the kicking teams. Might not be game-changing, but you’ll wanna keep an eye on it.

And for the rain—well, it’s not a big deal this time. There’s a 0% chance of light showers, but if it somehow sneaks in, the field could get slick. A few fumbles or slips wouldn’t be shocking in that case. Just don’t expect a downpour to turn this into a mud bowl.

So yeah, the weather won’t be a disaster. But it could throw in enough little hiccups to make things interesting.

Weather messing with game strategy at Levi’s

Let’s be real! If the weather does get tricky, it would prolly favor the 49ers. Why? Coz they love to pound the ball on the ground. And with slick field, that rushing game could really start grinding. And we all know how dangerous it is to pass in wet or windy conditions. So, who knows, they might simply favor the run. Their whole game plan is about wearing defenses down, and this weather could play right into that.

On the flip side, the Chiefs are all about that high-flying offense. However, windy or slightly wet conditions aren’t really ideal for long bombs. For that, Mahomes might need to keep things short and safe with quick passes. They’ve adjusted to the weather before, but even then, it might mean bring some shift to their usual game plan.

What about special teams? Oh, you bet the weather will downright mess with them. That 9-16 mph wind could turn kicks into a guessing game all throughout. And that’s enough to make field goal attempts more interesting and punts a little unpredictable. The open design of Levi’s Stadium doesn’t exactly help with that, either. So maybe we’d see some funny bounces or shorter-than-expected kicks.

And hey! Neither the 49ers nor the Chiefs are strangers to playing in messy conditions. Levi’s Stadium has seen its fair share of wet games. And yes, they’ve done just fine. So rest assured! No matter what the weather throws at them, both teams will be prepped. Either way, this is gonna be a game you won’t wanna miss.
