Tomorrow’s matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Las Vegas Raiders at Acrisure Stadium on Christmas Eve is projected to be one of the coldest games Pittsburgh has played in decades.

How cold is cold? According to the forecast, Saturday’s “high” is expected to be 12 degrees with a low of eight. However, with wind gusts expected to reach over 20 MPH at points throughout the night, the actual “real feel” temperature is expected to reach below zero.

The current estimates for the "feels like" temperature at kickoff of some of the outdoor games this Saturday:

– Bills at Bears: -11°
– Seahawks at Chiefs: -6°
– Saints at Browns: -9°
– Texans at Titans: 5°
– Falcons at Ravens: 7°
– Raiders at Steelers: -4°
