He did offer that he thought the ball got slippery getting close to 10 degrees or colder. That kinda makes sense.I’d say it has minimal impact overall, but if anyone benefits it’s the home team that’s already acclimated.I doubt the playoff match against the Bucs last postseason made any difference. Anything above 25 degrees or so (and without severe wind or snow) isn’t enough to factor much imoBut anything near 15 degrees or below starts to mess with the ball and possibly footing. Also a team playing in conditions -50 degrees colder than they are accustomed? That just has to play some mental aspects on the visiting team. Again there are a few arguable exceptions, but SF moving into Green Bay in mid January for a day isn’t one of them.A bigger factor is 2,228 miles of travel and losing 1 day this week. We all have traveled enough to know how you feel that first 24 hours after a long trip. Not exactly what you want to be doing day before a title fight.Also 75,000 home fans looking for revenge isn’t going to exactly help the 49ers cause when they show up Saturday.</blockquote>
