It could be a soggy day at Sports Authority Field when the Broncos and Patriots face off in the AFC Championship Game.

There's an 80 percent chance of rain in Denver on Sunday. The temperature could approach 50 degrees by the time kickoff comes around, but a light rain is expected to follow at some point later in the day, per Weather.com.

Kickoff is set for 1:05 p.m. Mountain Time, and the skies should be clear at that time. However, rain could start to fall in the second half or even before that. If the rain comes down hard, the offenses would likely run the ball more and rely on their defense, which would seem to work in the Broncos' favor.

Wind could be a factor, as well. Those are expected to hang between 5 and 10 mph, enough to be significant. In the divisional round against the Steelers, a swirling wind nearly pushed a Brandon McManus field goal wide right and it appeared to affect a few of Peyton Manning's throws.

It's supposed to snow on Sunday night, but this game should be over by 4:30 or 5 p.m. The winter weather is not forecasted to start until after that.

Sunday brings the 17th — and potentially final — meeting between quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Manning has a 2-1 record against the Patriots in AFC Championship Games, and the winner advances to Super Bowl 50.
