If your offense relies on passing like the Chargers' does, a wet, cold day will definitely affect you more.
The Bengals and Chargers have roughly the same run-game effectiveness. The Bengals have more yards total because they have ran the ball more.
YPC - Chargers (10th) vs Bengals (21st)
Attempts per touchdown - Chargers (11th) vs Bengals (8th)
EPA per rush - Chargers (9th) vs Bengals (10th)
Success Rate - Chargers (20th) vs Bengals (18th)
The big difference is that the Chargers run defense STINKS. So, Cincinnati should have the more favorable match-up.
