Whether the weather is nice or not may not be a factor for Super Bowl Sunday.

No need to fire up the Doppler 3000, and you may delete the weather app off your phone, because seldom does the weather play a factor in Super Bowl matchups. Traditionally, the Super Bowl has been played either indoors or in warm-weather cities, and that remains the case for Super Bowl 58.

Allegiant Stadium, which is the home of the Las Vegas Raiders, hosts the Kansas City Chiefs-San Francisco 49ers matchup Sunday. The entirely indoor stadium opened in 2020 and is hosting its first Super Bowl.

Through Super Bowl history, more games have been played outdoors than in domes, though that hasn’t been the case in recent years. Dating back to 2010, the game has been played indoors nine times, with Sunday’s matchup making it 10, as opposed to four games that have been held outdoors.

Still, if you’re traveling to Sin City to take in some slots and football, the weather may interest you a bit. Here’s what to know about Sunday’s forecast for Super Bowl 58.

What is the weather for Super Bowl 58?

The current forecast for Las Vegas on Sunday calls for clear skies, and temperatures ranging from a high of 51 degrees and a low of 33 degrees.

That weather, though, won’t play a factor in Sunday’s matchup: Allegiant Stadium is indoors, so fans won’t have to worry about Mother Nature playing a role in the outcome of the game.

Though both teams play their home games in outdoor stadiums, a fast track on an indoor field should benefit both offenses greatly. The Chiefs, though, may have a bit more comfort, as they travel to the Raiders’ home turf to take on their division rival once a year.

Chiefs record at Allegiant Stadium

Since the building opened in 2020, the Chiefs are perfect in Vegas: They’ve defeated the Raiders in all four games they’ve played in the stadium, which could provide some good juju heading into their showdown with the 49ers.

49ers record at Allegiant Stadium

The Niners have made one visit to Sin City since the Raiders relocated: On Jan. 1, 2023, San Francisco took a 37-34 win over their former Bay Area roommates, their sole win in Allegiant Stadium.

Zach Woods has experienced what he calls “the cortisol-drenched approach to making things.” That when the stakes are higher, the misery must be commensurate.

In the high-stakes world of Super Bowl advertising, where $7 million is the minimum buy-in simply to get in the game, fuses run even shorter. Surely, Woods wondered, there must be better ways to get things done than the attorney and the publicist pulling hair and gnashing teeth.

So when Woods, best known for his work on ‘The Office’ and ‘Silicon Valley,’ found himself behind the camera to direct e.l.f. Cosmetics’ 30-second spot, his priority was process.

AD METER 2024: Register to vote for the big game’s best commercials

“Something I try to say at the beginning of any shoot now is the experience of the people making it is as important to me as the finished product,” says Woods, whose Gabe Lewis on ‘The Office’ was best known for making nobody, including himself, happy.

“Because that’s our lives. You can become so tyrannical about the final thing that you forget it is people making it. It’s really, really important to remember that for those three days, that was the grip’s life, and my life, and Meghan Trainor’s life.

“So the means are as important as the ends.”

That ethos largely comes through in Judge Beauty, e.l.f’s 30-second Super Bowl entry in which Trainor, several stars from the legal dramedy Suits (enjoying a second life on streaming) and former NFL player Emmanuel Acho, among others, engage in courtroom shenanigans while amplifying e.l.f.’s affordable beauty products.

Adjudicating it all is Judge Judy Sheindlin, herself having a moment with the successful run of her ‘Judy Justice’ vehicle on Amazon Prime. Here, she aims to lend order to what Woods calls “a flurry of activity, like the Parliament Funkadelic of Super Bowl commercials where there’s 9 million people in it.”

That chaos runs through e.l.f.’s DNA, it seems. The cosmetics brand enjoys significant cred among the TikTok/Gen Z crowd yet desired a breakthrough among older demographics.

It saw an opening last year, when actress Jennifer Coolidge, then 61, delivered a stirring acceptance speech for her ‘White Lotus’ win at the Golden Globes, then stated that her next dream role would be portraying a dolphin.

Coolidge’s Globes moment came on Jan. 10. Super Bowl 57 was played Feb. 12.

In between, e.l.f. threaded the needle with a regional Super Bowl spot featuring its unlikely star.

“We came out of the gate like a bat out of hell, with a woman who was over 60 years old, who three weeks before that got on broadcast television at a big awards ceremony and said my dream role is to play a dolphin,” says Kory Marchisotto, chief marketing officer for e.l.f. Beauty. “That was our Bat Signal.

“We called her up and said we got a role for you to play a dolphin on the biggest stage there is and we’re going to make this happen in three weeks.”

 Given that quick turnaround, Judge Beauty was a breeze. This year’s spot leans heavily on a troika of ‘Suits’ stars, most notably Rick Hoffman’s ever-irksome Louis Litt.

“There’s kind of a happy delirium to the whole thing,” says Woods. “It’s so pastiche-ey and goofy and fun and I like that. There’s so much stimuli in it – so many fast cuts, whipping to this person and that person.

“And in the Super Bowl, where there’s so much competing for your attention, I liked how dense this was.”

It will certainly stand out on Super Sunday, what with the ad lineup dominated by junk food, along with several of the big players in the beer and car spaces back in the game. This spot aims to capture e.l.f.’s  inclusionary yet disruptive ethos, taking the cosmetics brand from the highly fragmented TikTok/Instagram audience into the single largest gathering place – 100 million viewers – in pop culture.

But no pressure. Harris insists it be that way.

“There’s a world in which some vicious PR company acting on behest of some vicious agency could probably twist my arm into saying all kinds of positive things, but you could see the deadness behind my eyes,” says Woods. “The truth is, these people are legitimately lovely and I’m very happy to talk to you about it. Because the experience was a good one.

“With that pressure on this process, it never felt like that and that, in and of itself, is an accomplishment. To have an experience where no one is belittled, no one is snapped at, where people are laughing and being playful and having a good time.

“That I’m very grateful for and don’t take for granted.”

LAS VEGAS – The bait to declare his season a full-circle success story dangled in front of Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver refused to take it.

In Week 11, he was the goat against the Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of Super Bowl 57. Two months later, his diving catch on third down against the Baltimore Ravens sealed the AFC title for the Chiefs and sent them to Super Bowl 58 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Valdes-Scantling and the Chiefs receiver room had to compartmentalize the lowlights of the season – which began with Kadarius Toney’s series of drops in the opening loss to the Detroit Lions and later included a 2-4 stretch that culminated with a loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day – to earn a chance to repeat as champions.

After all, Valdes-Scantling reminded reporters Monday and Tuesday, the group is one season removed from being the league’s No. 1 offense and helping quarterback Patrick Mahomes win his second MVP.

Mahomes himself – and his will to win – had plenty to do with getting the Chiefs near the mountaintop once again.

SUPER BOWL CENTRAL: Latest Super Bowl 58 news, stats, odds, matchups and more.

How Valdes-Scantling shook off brutal drop vs. Eagles

The drop against the Eagles came with less than two minutes left and the Chiefs trailing by four. Mahomes uncorked a 55-yard bomb that hit Valdes-Scantling in stride. The receiver couldn’t hang onto the ball through the rain that night, and the Chiefs lost, 21-17.

Looking back on the play, Valdes-Scantling downplayed the gaffe.

‘It’s not going to affect my career in any way, shape or form,’ he said.

It certainly didn’t when Mahomes called his number against the Ravens on a third-and-9 that iced the game.

‘It was just another play to be made … a routine play that we practiced hundreds and hundreds of times,’ Valdes-Scantling said.

That demeanor has endeared “MVS” to teammates.

“To stay himself and just always continue to roll, what more can you ask for from a vet?” receiver Richie James told USA TODAY Sports. “He’s been doing this a long time.”

Rookie Rashee Rice has emerged as Mahomes’ go-to option at wide receiver while tight end Travis Kelce is typically the top choice when not covered by two (or three) defenders. Rice provides the Chiefs with a capable route-runner in the intermediate game and someone who can break an explosive play.

Valdes-Scantling, a sixth-year pro, has become a mentor to Rice through his words – such as advice on how to take care of his body as a NFL player – and his actions.

‘Without even having to say anything to me, he taught me how to face adversity: keep your head up. Come to work every day,’ said Rice, who led the team in touchdown catches (seven) and finished second behind Kelce on the team in catches (79) and receiving yards (938).

The way Valdes-Scantling responded to the drop against the Eagles also impressed Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.

‘MVS has done a really nice job,’ Reid said. ‘He had a couple big drops early in the season, and he just kept working. He’s mentally tough. He’s smart. He understands the offense. So, he just pounded through it and he worked at it.’

Reid added one more point: “And the quarterback maintained confidence in him and has kept using him.”

The Mahomes factor

Chiefs center Creed Humphrey has worked with Mahomes for three seasons now. He likes to think they have a solid rapport and that he knows No. 15 pretty well.  

‘Just his competitiveness, his hunger to win, things like that,’ Humphrey told USA TODAY Sports, ‘I think it’s unmatched around the league.’

For former Chiefs offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz, this stretch run has provided Mahomes with a platform to declare ‘I am this good.’

‘Pat blends that (Michael) Jordan, Kobe (Bryant), (Tom) Brady level of (competitiveness) with cool, with Joe Montana cool. That’s something that’s rare,’ Schwartz told the ‘This Is Football’ podcast.

From the outside, Schwartz said, Mahomes doesn’t seem like the type of superstar who would internalize slights and criticisms – toward him or his teammates – and dissolve them into fuel.

‘He’s cool as a cucumber and every single game he’s going to treat the same,’ Schwartz said. ‘It’s not like he needs to see that to succeed.’

The budding connection with Rice also helped salvage Kansas City’s passing attack.

‘It’s hard, this offense, to learn,’ Mahomes said.

Reid’s system calls for receivers to run certain routes certain ways depending on man coverage or zone coverage. Mahomes hasn’t seen Rice make the same mistake twice.

‘And that’s why his role is getting bigger and bigger,’ Mahomes said.

Valdes-Scantling said Mahomes found different ways to motivate teammates this past year.

‘He’s just a great leader,’ the receiver said.

This adjustment for Chiefs wideouts opened up passing game

Catching passes from the best quarterback of his generation didn’t hurt when it came to Valdes-Scantling and the rest of the receiver room in finding their footing.

One particular adjustment helped streamline everything for the operation: limiting substitutions.

‘Just trying to figure out ways to get guys on the field and keep guys on the field instead of in for a play, out for a play,’ Valdes-Scantling said.  

Rice agreed that finding ways to keep receivers on the field, “just so we could stay in a rhythm,” was beneficial.

‘You definitely feel the shift – we’ve always had the same energy,’ James said. “But you definitely see it. We’re picking it up a bit more. ‘C’mon now, we’re rolling now.’’

Those outside the room have noticed.

‘I think they’re playing their best ball right now,’ Humphrey said, ‘and it’s been fun to see.’

Gambling records have surged in anticipation of Super Bowl LVIII and more than 68 million people in the United States will participate in some betting on the big game, according to the Gambling Industry National Trade Association.

According to the trade association, around 26% of American adults are expected to place a wager on the upcoming big game, which is a 35% increase from last year’s Super Bowl. Bettors are estimated to place wagers totaling up to $23.1 billion, which is a $7 billion increase from 2023.

The trade association has revealed the locations where people will place bets. Reportedly, 42.7 million American adults will place a traditional sports wager online, at a retail sportsbook, or with a bookie. Additionally, 36.5 million individuals plan to engage in casual betting with friends, or participate in a pool or squares contest.

As of Wednesday, bettors are split on the outcome of the game, with 47% placing bets on the Kansas City Chiefs and 44% placing bets on the San Francisco 49ers.

Sports betting is currently legal in 38 states, including Washington, D.C.
