Last night's game didn't turn out too well for my Packers, but the weather was nice and it's only preseason.

Same drill as yesterday - all start times are provided by NFL.com, which I then translate into Oklahoma's timezone.

New York Jets at Cincinnati Bengals: 6:30 p.m. tonight


Paul Brown Stadium is an outdoor venue in Cincinnati, Ohio (I have to mention this, because some stadiums are indoor or in a city's suburb).

According to the National Weather Service, Cincinnati has chances of rain throughout the day, including a 30 percent chance of showers tonight. Lows are forecast for around 60 degrees, with 8 to 10 mph west winds.

Cleveland Browns at Detroit Lions: 6:30 p.m. tonight


Ford Field is the only indoor home stadium in the NFC North. However, if they were playing outdoors, Detroit's weather is forecast to be rainy all day, including a 70 percent chance of rain at night.

New York Giants at Jacksonville Jaguars: 6:30 p.m. tonight


Everbank Field is outdoors in downtown Jackonville. Check out this cool radar image of the Panhandle of Florida (and the rest of the northern Florida):


Despite the active radar, rain chances are expected to fall to 20 percent in Jacksonville by tonight, with 5 to 9 mph winds and lows in the mid-70s.

Tampa Bay Bucs at Miami Dolphins: 6:30 p.m. tonight


Sun Life Stadium is an outdoor stadium in Miami Gardens, a suburb of Miami, Florida (you have to make that state distinction here in the state of Oklahoma!).

More rain chances at southern Florida, including a 60 percent chance tonight in the Miami area. Lows in the mid-70s and 7 mph winds are also forecast by the weather service.

Arizona Cardinals at Kansas City Chiefs: 7 p.m. tonight


Arrowhead Stadium is outdoors and on the Missouri side of Kansas City.

The weather forecast for Kansas City is mostly uneventful, with mostly clear skies low-60s lows. Light 5 to 9 mph northeast winds are anticipated.

Minnesota Vikings at San Francisco Giants: 8 p.m. tonight


San Francisco's Candlestick Park is outdoors, but the weather forecast isn't too scary: Mostly clear skies, lows in the upper 50s and 8 to 14 mph southwest winds.
