Weather is almost never a factor in Green Bay. (To the point of your wager, that is.)
Play the O/U the way you would, regardless of the weather.

The 1967 game, played on December 31 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, remains the coldest NFL game on record in terms of actual air temperature. (The coldest in terms of wind chill was the Freezer Bowl.) The official game-time temperature was −13?F / −25?C, with a wind chill around −48?F / −44?C. Using the new wind chill index put into use in 2001, the wind chill was −36?F. The bitter cold overwhelmed Lambeau's new turf heating system, leaving the playing surface hard as a rock and nearly as smooth as ice. The officials were unable to use their whistles after the opening kick-off. As the referee blew his metal whistle to signal the start of play, it froze to his lips. For the rest of the game, the officials used voice commands and calls to end plays and officiate the game.
The University of Wisconsin?La Crosse (then Wisconsin State University?La Crosse) Marching Chiefs band were scheduled to perform the pre-game and half time shows. However, during warm-ups in the brutal cold, the woodwind instruments froze and wouldn't play; the mouthpieces of brass instruments got stuck to the players' lips; and seven members of the band were transported to local hospitals for hypothermia. The band's further performances were cancelled for the day.
The game was televised by CBS, with announcers Ray Scott, Jack Buck, and Frank Gifford. No copy of the complete telecast is known to exist, although some excerpts were saved and are occasionally re-aired in retrospective features. The recordings of the Cowboys' radio broadcast, with Bill Mercer announcing, still exists in its entirety; Mercer, now a professor at UNT, has played the game-tape during many of his Sports Broadcasting classes.<SUP class="noprint Template-Fact" title="This claim needs references to reliable sources from September 2008" style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">[citation needed]</SUP> The recording of the Packers radio broadcast, with Ted Moore announcing on WTMJ radio, also still exists in its entirety.
