Wisconsin.

Plysical running game (Wisconsin) stands to gain over finese, speed, elusivity (Ohio State).

everyone who watches from the comforts of their home. I joke. honestly, its a wash really, both teams like to run the ball..

Don't know that one team will benefit more than the other. Snow makes it difficult for RB's. There is one school of thought that a slippery field favors the better passing team - receivers know where they are going on a route, DB's need to react to what they see - makes reaction time slower. This, however, does require an accurate passer in inclimate conditions. Both teams running games should be impacted negatively, but it depends on how much snow, and if the field is really that slick.

Both teams have good power running games, but it could be tough on a snowy field. It could really limit Braxton's shifty style. Should be a great game to watch!!!

I would say winter coat manufacturers will benefit most.

Since both teams are used to cold weather games it probably will be a wash. However, liquor sales will probably benefit as well.

Weather.com says this:

-Day: 49 degrees, 10% chance of rain.

-Night: 28 degrees, 10% chance of rain.

The national government says this:

-High around 50

-Low around 31

I'm not sure where you're getting your information, but it's probably incorrect. The high will also be at around 3PM (yay near to gametime)!

My bookie has an advanced break down of the weather, its saying there's a strong risk of snow. I tried to copy the picture in here but it won't let me.

Your bookie?? I'm not sure if you are being serious or joking. If your bookie has an "advance break down of the weather", perhaps he is in the wrong business.
