Divisional Round weather watch highlights Rams vs. Bears

Cbssports reports the 2026 NFL Divisional Round begins Saturday, Jan. 17, with the No. 1 seeds — the Denver Broncos hosting the Buffalo Bills and the San Francisco 49ers visiting the Seattle Seahawks — and several games, notably Rams vs. Bears, are being highlighted for possible rain, snow or wind.

Texans vs. Patriots (3 p.m. ET, Sunday) faces a storm system moving through the Boston area over the weekend. Most snowfall and rain is expected Saturday, but remnants could linger into Sunday morning and, if timing is delayed, more active skies may affect Sunday. The Texans already navigated a cold night in Pittsburgh without much trouble, though the outlet noted New England’s offense could be a tougher test.

The SportsLine Projection Model has Houston winning in 45% of simulations and lists them as a +145 underdog. Rams vs. Bears (6:30 p.m. ET, Sunday) follows a week that saw snow when the Bears hosted the Packers; there was a light dusting on the field before kickoff but conditions cleared.
