BYU (power rating: 14.3) carries a 9.5-point advantage over Kansas (4.8) on a neutral field per Blue Chip Analytics. Kansas's home field (Blue Chip HFA: 2.8) narrows that gap at Memorial Stadium. Beyond home field, the model reads only a slight effect from the conditions. The weather component is provisional until the game-time reading is confirmed. Adjust the factors in the tool above to test your own numbers.

Does weather affect BYU vs Kansas at Memorial Stadium?

The latest reading for Memorial Stadium shows Partly Cloudy, 72°F with winds of 13 mph. Gusts reaching 26 mph add variance to the kicking and passing game. Games with gusts at or above 30 mph have seen the total move down by about 1.4 points. It was taken before the ~10-day forecast window opened, so it describes the furthest hour the forecast reached rather than kickoff itself, and it is replaced once the game comes inside the window. Weather data is sourced from WeatherAPI.com.
