FOX Weather Kickoff: Week 4 FOX NFL picks based on weather forecasts

SportsWeather.com has a record of 6-1 so far this season.

SportsWeather.com season record: 6-1

About a quarter of the way through the NFL regular season, the contenders are starting to distance themselves from the pretenders. 

Thanks to SportsWeather, on Fridays throughout the season, we'll be picking FOX NFL games solely based on how they have historically performed in certain weather conditions. 

SportsWeather has its own metrics system that compiles historical game-time weather data and meshes it against both NFL teams and player historical performance.

SportsWeather doesn’t compile data for games that are played in domes and all data is from the last 14 seasons.
