I believe this would be helpful for the patriots chances of winning and would make odds of a falcon's victory much less. The link below is from 2013...but it is a widely held notion that dome teams are at a disadvantage compared to non domed teams when playing outside.
One big issue for the Falcons is that they cannot rely on really loud crowd noise when the opposing team is on offense to trigger false start penalties.
This year for the falcons:
domed stadiums 7-3 (includes post season)
non domed stadiums 6-2
so I guess my theory is not proven this year. for falcons.
I still think playing with the roof closed will be an advantage for Falcons
and hopefully it will be on colder side...average temperatures in Houston in January vary from 43-66. For a night game lest hope for 40's with roof open
Does Playing in a Dome Give the Home Team a Distinct Advantage?
