Monday Night Football kicks off after sunset, so conditions change while the game is played. This page shows tonight's matchup with two forecast reads — kickoff and the expected fourth quarter — covering temperature drop, evening wind, dew and rain, plus our plain-English Over/Under weather read where a total is posted.

Kickoff · 8:15 PM
Expected 4th quarter · 11:15 PM
Weather is not a factor on this read.
An ~8:15 PM ET kickoff means the entire game is played after dark. Temperatures fall through the second half, humidity and dew rise on the ball and turf, and afternoon wind often eases after sunset. A single "game-time" forecast misses that arc — which is why this page reads the start and the end of the game separately. Our NFL wind and totals study and kicking conditions index show why those late-game shifts matter.
