Who will benefit the most from the snow storm?

The weather will be awful this coming Sunday. The storm may dump as much as a -foot- of snow on Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. We are expecting as much as twice in some parts of Canada. Both games are likely to be memorable "snow bowls".

- New England seems to have thrived in the stuff in the past.
- Pittsburgh has a great defense and a great running game.
- Atlanta has a great running QB and RB plus a good OL.
- Philadelphia also has a great running QB and RB and it is an outdoor team.

It may also come down to a kicker FG attempt in the last seconds...

What do you think?

I dont think it matters too much, But I picked New England only because they played in the cold and snow last week

It doesnt matter.

I think when it comes down to it, New England has the best chance in the snow, but other than that, its really not a factor.

I think that the only team that has a disadvantage is Atlanta because it is an indoor team.

The snow should change the game plan between Pitt and NE but I do not think that either has an overwhelming advantage over the other.

I think the makers of "ice-melt" salt will benefit more.

The forecast says the snow should have finished in Pennsylvaia by tomorrow morning, at least judging from the last forecast for New York.

Once it stops, they should be able to clear the field.

Given a cold wet field, though, I wonder if the Falcons will be quite as ready as the Eagles.

Steelers/Patriots should be good to watch.

It wont affect Philly....McNabb can throw at his WRs feet rain, snow, or shine.
