Eagles-Raiders weather forecast set for heavy early snowfall in Philadelphia image

The snow is falling overnight in Philadelphia as the Eagles prepare to take on the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday in Week 15.

The forecast may get better, but it's definitely a December day in Philly.

The Eagles will need to take care of business against the lowly Raiders to maintain their hold atop the NFC East.

It probably won't be the most pleasant day for the players coming from an indoor stadium in Vegas to play in these conditions.

Eagles-Raiders weather forecast

This one is quite convenient for the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

That's because snow may fall in the morning and the evening, but it's not expected to fall during the game.

Temperatures are actually supposed to get above freezing by kickoff, and the winds won't be too strong.

Philadelphia is happy to run the ball anyway, so if things shift around a little bit, it could just be a big day with the legs for Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts.

But if the forecast is right, they'll be able to play close to full strength when the game is going on. It just might be a mess getting to and from the stadium.
