NFL weather report for Week 8: NFC South battle could be hindered by storm

November 1, 2026 · by SPW Pipeline

Week 8 is underway across the NFL after another big-time Green Bay Packers win, but Sunday’s slate has more excellent matchups on tap. However, the NFL weather report isn’t overly promising for some games being played down south.

Three games are set to take place in Florida on Sunday, including a critical NFC South battle between the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Strong rains and stormy conditions could affect the game, so adjust your fantasy football lineups accordingly.

Similar conditions can be expected as the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots face off at Hard Rock Stadium. Luckily, the Jacksonville Jaguars have a lesser chance of rain as they play the Indianapolis Colts.

The best game on the Sunday slate doesn’t seem to be in danger of bad weather, though. The Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills are set to compete in a critical AFC matchup with major playoff implications. Lamar Jackson is set to return for the Ravens, so they’ll need their quarterback to put up big numbers.
