It's early but here are some potential situations to keep an eye on. WASHINGTON @ PITTSBURGH: Saturday will bring a chance of snow to Pittsburgh. Both teams will likely run the ball any way, but the weather could reinforce the ground game in this one. NEW ENGLAND @ BUFFALO: A chance for snow showers in Buffalo this weekend. No surprise here. Both teams adapt to these conditions so I don't expect any changes in offensive schemes, but Vinatieri and Christie might not be great options in this one. DETROIT @ NEW YORK JETS: Rain changing to snow in New York Sunday. Looks kind of messy but this is a must win for both teams. Should be a fun game to watch, but frustrating if you have fantasy players on either team. TENNESSEE @ CLEVELAND: Much like Buffalo, you can generally expect snow in Cleveland this time of the year....and the Browns last game of 2000 will be no exception. Wind could be a factor in this game if you have either Del Greco or Kevin Johnson (he's not used to passing in these kind of conditions). Mike McVay StormTracker13 Meteorologist WOWK-TV One other note to think about is the terrible condition of Paul Brown Field in Cincinnati where the Bengals host Jacksonville this week. Thanks to my friend John Pflum for the insights as he tells me the transplanted grass has basically died and between the hashmarks is a total mess. Could especially be a factor for the kickers. Just a thought. See you Thursday morning with our cheatsheet rankings and Friday morning with the Matchups to Avoid and Exploit.
