Adjust the factors in the tool above to test your own numbers.
The latest reading for Hancock Whitney Stadium shows Partly Cloudy, 67°F with winds of 9 mph. Gusts reaching 25 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.
