Summary

On this week’s episode of “Underdogs,” Jordan and Peter preview the NFL’s Super Wild Card Weekend. Will the Miami Dolphins be affected by a 9-degree forecast in Kansas City? The guys find some surprising numbers to answer that question. Plus, it’s never too early to start thinking about NCAA tourney upsets: Which college hoops teams should you be watching now to get a leg up on your bracket come March? Here’s a closer look at the numbers 🤓: 🏈 Over the past 2 decades, in playoff games with an over/under lower than 45 points and a temperature of 25 degrees and below, the OVER has gone 14-4-1. 🌴 When warm-weather or dome teams (like Miami) travel to cold environments, the home team doesn’t have nearly the edge people think they do. ❄️In playoff games below 32 degrees, warm-weather/dome teams are 11-13-1 against the spread.
