Weather & injury impact for this fixture

Conditions · who's out · how it moves the number
For Chicago Bears vs Detroit Lions: The game is played indoor dome, so wind and rain won't touch the passing or kicking game, and 9 players are listed out or questionable across both sides.
FactorThis fixture
Roof / venueindoor dome
Surfaceartificial turf
Wind / weatherIndoors — wind and precipitation are not a factor
Availability9 listed out or questionable (see Who's out above)

General rule: indoor and domed games remove wind and rain from the equation, which tends to support passing totals and kicking accuracy versus an exposed outdoor game.
