By contrast, in Chicago, where the Rams are playing on Sunday, the high will be 18 degrees and the low 4 degrees, possibly as cold as minus 13 degrees with the windchill.
How is the team from LA going to do in that weather? It was 75 degrees in LA today.
See how important being the number 1 seed is?
Are Rams walking into weather disaster vs Bears? What team is saying
Freezing conditions are expected for kickoff between the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears. Here's what players and coaches are saying about it.

none of those guys are going to do well in that climate.
That’s crazy weather and NOBODY should be out in it, let alone playing a football game.
I’m good with it, always enjoy that type of weather as a spectator (TV).
But let’s not deceive ourselves, it’s not like the Bears are used to it.

This isn't the 70's Bears, Vikings, and Green Bay don't play in the same elements and filed condition the old times did, they have the sideline heaters, heated gloves and thermals, etc as well as heated field now as well. Still they are out of their element and the balls are harder, if there is snow it is a messy footing game as well as visually challenging.

Whoever has the “harder balls” wins?

I don't know....didn't the Patriots do well with softer balls.
I went through basic training just north of Chicago, December thru early February, and the cold there is really hard to describe. The wind and the lake effect snow is merciless. I had the Rams winning but those candy ass SoCal boys will not be ready for any of that s*it.By contrast, in Chicago, where the Rams are playing on Sunday, the high will be 18 degrees and the low 4 degrees, possibly as cold as minus 13 degrees with the windchill.

I've worked outside in Umiat, Alaska in January when it was -64, the #1 fuel had gelled, our furnaces and generator had quit. Took my Dad and I almost 5 hours to getting power and heat going again. But, we had the gear for that.
Be that as it may, I've never been as chilled to the bone as I was deer hunting on Kodiak Island when it was 34 degrees and snowing with the snow melting as soon as it hit. That humidity, snow sticking to you and melting making your Gore Tex or Dry Plus (the best) soaking wet, and the wind blowing off the ocean, cut through to the bone.
I don't care what you wear, if you don't keep moving in those conditions, you're going to freeze your ass off.

My point exactly.
Neither team will be “ready” for that, it’s simply not a thing in a football game.
The weather will be a factor, maybe the biggest.
The team that handles it the best, either game plan or physical preparation will win.
You have first hand experience, sweating at those temperatures is dangerous.
Will certainly be interesting to watch it play out.

I was always colder coming down to Seattle in the winter at 35 degrees and wet than in Coldfoot/Wiseman or Delta Junction in the winter at -degree temps. Got colder in Anchorage at 10 degrees, and even worse in Seattle.
"But it's a dry cold" is real. Wind-chill can kill you right quick, though, and Chi-town gets plenty of that. Both teams need to gear up. Remember our game in Minnesota a few years back?
Seattle should be downright balmy Saturday comparatively.

Pushing cows on horseback in Paulina, OR at 20 below was unpleasant.
I heard once it gets below zero - it all feels about the same. I'm not sure I'm buying that....

I've always wondered this... exactly how cold is a 'witch's tit'?
Anyone ever measure it? Inquiring minds want to know.

It's been -50 a couple of weeks ago, with the past 3 weeks being in the -30s and -40s, so I was keeping my car plugged in at work, with a blanket on the hood -40 and below. Today it's 25 above and I feel lost.
Coldfoot is one of the coldest, but Umiat was in the perfect spot to be colder than anywhere else, North Slope, in a valley where the cold sinks when there's zero wind. High Pressure/Clear Skies meant COLD, where as low pressure brought in clouds to stop that warmer air from escaping, and it brought wind which mixes the warmer upper air with the lower colder air.
I took off out of Umiat in the TU-206 once at -55, and at 1,500 feet it was -10, and as I climbed, it got warmer. We had parachutes and big Reliamatic 300 heaters, and my brother and I would get that airplane smoking hot, then blast off.

Temperature inversions in the great white north can be dastardly. Driving in FBX when Lufthansa 747 exhaust left hours of ice fog in the city was just abnormally strange.
Seattle doesn't get that kind of mess, fortunately.

I turn 67 next month, and I was born here. I'm looking forward to being a snowbird when I retire. A Pickup and 5th wheel toy hauler to put my Harley in, and I'll be touring the Lower 48, mostly in the south, all year. College playoff games, Shrine game, Senior Bowl, etc.
