Snow In Forecast For Big Week 13 NFL Game On Sunday

We've had a couple of snow games already this NFL season but no "snowmageddons" like the league has seen over the past years. While we can hope that we don't get anymore of those, there's still a game with a whole lot of snow potentially coming this weekend.

According to reports, the weather forecast for Sunday's game between the San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills at the Bills' home in Orchard Park, New York is slated to get "heavy snow showers" this coming Sunday.

Temperatures will be freezing, naturally. But it may take a few more days before we can tell just how much snow Highmark Stadium is going to get.

Fans on social media are already predicting an extremely rough game for the 49ers, who typically don't play in the snow.

"This will not favor SF at all, and those dealing with injuries "may" not play at all. Let's see who will and won't play," one user suggested.

"Niners are about to get hammered," wrote another.

"The snow about to bury the Niners season for good, unfortunately," a third wrote.

A big snow game couldn't come at a worst time for the San Francisco 49ers. The team looked listless against the Green Bay Packers in the absence of quarterback Brock Purdy and a slew of other starters and they now sit at 5-6 on the season as a result. While another loss wouldn't mathematically eliminate them from playoff contention given that all of their division rivals are within a game, they're rapidly running out of time.

As for the Bills, cold weather games seemingly always favor them - particularly now that they have a more solid running game than usual. Even so, weather can be a great equalizer and at 9-2 on the season - one game behind the Chiefs for the top seed in the AFC - they probably don't want any surprises.

Who will come out on top in a potential snow game between the two teams?
