The weather people are telling us what's coming.

The Buffalo people do not care.

It sounds as though the weather will be a factor in Sunday's NFL playoff game pitting the Buffalo Bills agains the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers. ... a game in which the home team is already a 9-point favorite and now might grab another edge in this way.

Not that Pittsburgh weather can't get a bit nasty, but ...

The latest word is has the forecast at kickoff calling for 25 MPH "sustained winds with gusts up to 52 MPH.'' ... and with the temperature set to hover around 23 degrees?

That might actually feel like 7 degrees once we factor in that good ol' wind-chill factor.

Oh, and of course, there is also a chance of that some snow might fall throughout this Wild Card matchup.

For fans around the country set to watch, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET on CBS (and with Jim Nantz and Tony Romo on the call)? "Weather games'' are always fun on TV. 

For bundled-up fans here in the building at Highmark Stadium? Fun will be had as well.

And for the Steelers? Yes, the idea is that Mother Nature is on the side of Bills Mafia here.
