Los Angeles Rams at Philadelphia Eagles (Sunday 3 p.m. ET kickoff)

• Temperatures: Hovering near freezing
• Winds: 5 to 10 mph out of the NNW; Gusts to 20 mph
• Wind chills: Low to mid-20s
• Out of all the divisional games this weekend, this one will have the most impact from the weather. Winter Storm Demi will be moving through the Eastern Seaboard with snow. Multiple inches of snow could fall during the game and up to 5 inches are expected overall during the storm’s duration. Visibility and field traction could become issues if bands of snow strike during the game.

Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills (Sunday 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff)

• Temperatures: Mid to upper teens
• Winds: Light and variable, but generally out of the north or northwest
• Wind chills: 8-12 degrees
• If you’re flipping from Sunday's first playoff game (in Philly) to this next one, you might be disappointed by this second game’s weather. Some flurries will be possible, but this snow should be lighter and drier than in Philadelphia. If you’re going to the game, grab several layers and some mittens for the cold.
