It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature.

Mid November in the New England region of country can throw just about any inclement weather known to humans at you. Weather it's the gales of a snow-hurling Nor'Easter with blizzard-like conditions, a late hurricane from the Gulf Coast, of simply the arctic cold winds from a Polar Vortex, Mother Nature has an endless supply of tricks up her sleeve to turn pleasant nights into commure-paralyzing gauntlets.

And the Los Angles Rams, nestled peacefully in southern California, are ill-prepared to face the worst of weather, even as the sunlight hours shrink and the darkness grows over the country daily.

While temperatures typically dip below freezing, that is not the case for Week 11 at Gillette Stadium. No, it's not a red-carpet event. But, you could argue that Mother Nature is giving the Rams a warm welcome. Per the latest weather report for gametime, the game will be played under nearly ideal weather conditions. At kickoff, the temperature will be 58 degrees Fahrenheit, with light NorthWest winds blowing from nine miles-per-hour, and gusting to 15 MPH.

Those football-ideal conditions will prevail throughout the game. That will certainly help the Rams, a team that is not very experienced playing in a deluge or a snow storm.
