The Indianapolis Colts will hit the road on Saturday night to visit the New England Patriots in Foxboro, Massachusetts in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. While one would like to believe that no outside factors will play a part in the game, the weather report suggests otherwise.

Kickoff for the game is set for 8:30 p.m. ET, when the storm clouds are set to fly over Foxboro and the precipitation is expected to fall down.

According to the weather report, there is a 100 percent chance of precipitation from 5 p.m. ET to 9 p.m. ET. Chances of rain stay at over 80 percent until 11 p.m. ET. If the rain comes down as hard as the weather report is predicting, the field conditions could be incredibly sloppy.

The good news is that wind gusts are expected to be in the low 20 mile per hour range, which means Andrew Luck and Tom Brady should still be able to power the ball through the wind.
