Miami Dolphins vs New England Patriots Weather Report

Updated:Dec 30, 2025 1:11 AM EST

The upcoming NFL showdown on January 4, 2026, between the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA, promises an intriguing Sunday night football experience. This game is set in an outdoor stadium, so weather conditions will play a crucial role. The weather forecast calls for partially cloudy skies with temperatures hovering around the mid-20s Fahrenheit and a northwest wind blowing at about 5 to 7 mph. While there is a slight chance of rain, no snow is expected, which should keep gameplay relatively smooth.

Miami Dolphins historically struggle in colder weather, which could be a disadvantage playing away from their warmer home environment. Conversely, the New England Patriots have shown resilience in chilly conditions at Gillette Stadium, leveraging their home-field advantage effectively. This contrast in weather adaptability could influence the game's pace and scoring, making the Patriots a smart pick in this matchup.

Understanding the weather conditions can help bettors anticipate how the game might unfold, such as the impact of cold temperatures on players' speed and the passing game. With the game airing on FOX, fans and bettors alike have a great opportunity to tune in and make informed wagers.
