Don't seeing any way it affects the game this week, given that it will just be getting into the Gulf on Saturday. After this week, button down the hatches.
They're talking about starting evacuations Friday. Newest models are beginning to line up on NOLA. I'm preparing for no football on Saturday.

That's just the center of the storm though. If it goes along that track, then southern Louisiana will already be feeling the effects by Monday morning.
The weather folks in Dallas keep saying that the high pressure over Florida is likely to push the storm a little further west, and they are predicting a Texas landfall.
