It looks increasingly likely that the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams will play their divisional playoff game in the snow on Sunday afternoon.
Here is the latest weather forecast:

This precipitation total is 3.55 inches, an increase from the 2.6 inches posted Thursday.
The current forecast is for snowfall to begin around 12:30pm ET on Sunday and continue until around 8:30pm. Kickoff for the Eagles is set for 3 p.m.
There are different schools of thought as to which teams will benefit most from the snow conditions.
Matthew Stafford, on the other hand, hasn’t really thrived in bad weather. And the Rams’ offense didn’t play very well in their only called game of the season, a 19-9 victory over the New York Jets.
Matthew Stafford outdoors in rain/snow: 1-8, 54.6 completion percentage, 14 TDs, 11 INTs. Successful candidates received a rating of 76.0.
Philadelphia has a 75% chance of snow on Sunday.

On the other hand, such random factors can be an equalizer that helps the weaker groups.
The Eagles’ 2013 Snow Bowl victory over Stafford and the Detroit Lions was one of the most special games ever played at Lincoln Financial Field. Let’s see if Sunday will be another great memory for the Birds.
