    Well, cold rain is what a Louisiana winter is, amigo. We don't get snow and ice, we get cold rain. Not in September obviously, but many November and December games are cold wet conditions, sometimes with torrential rain. They only stop play if it lightnings.

    I think there will be some cold Tigers for sure, but it won't cripple them. Cold weather may be invigorating after semi-tropical August workouts in Louisiana.

    they dont get snow and ice any more than south La does. wet La winters are similar to NW winters/spring except that they rarely get those nice cold dry sunny days in the winter and they dont get hard rains. never lightning either.

    i would guess bad weather may level the playing field a little but they play on turf and depend on lockler to run. itll mostly affect the fans.

    I don't think the weather will be much of a factor, if any at all. The spread Vegas is giving on this game is a bit conservative in my opinion.

    A common misconception among people unfamiliar with the pacific northwest. Snow and ice are actually a rarity in Seattle. Drive 2 hours to the east and its a different story but not in Seattle.

    I dont think weather will play a big factor but it could be a minor factor. That cold drizzle is bone chilling and there is usually a pretty good breeze blowing off Puget Sound and Lake Washington. Winds can be very swirly in the stadium.
