56 is the highest set total i can remember in my 20+ years of gaming.  Can anyone remember an NFL game with a higher set total?

BTW, for historical and technical reasons I'm on the U.  Could these teams blow by this number?  Absolutely.  But at 56 that is more than 2 TDs a quarter to take it over.

Well, it's at 56 cuz NO seems to be putting up 40 pts every week. GL with your under. I think they'll need to hold ATL to under 17 for it to hit.

If an NFL total is set a 50+ i always take a hard look at the U.  At 56 this seems unprecedented.

Was the total this high when the Rams had the "Greatest Show on Turf"? Those seemed to always go over.........

well, if you're talking about the past 20 years... the high octane Rams offense in the early 2000s have the total set over 56 a few times, and then the Colts and I think even the Pats, and I believe only one game went U the line total

We weren't looking for that.  We were looking to see what occurs when a total is set this high, does the game go under or over.

I remember watching that game with my dad and great uncle.  Lynn Dickey i believe was the QB for GB who got the Packers the W.  However, not the info i was looking for.

Here are some to consider:

With a whopping OVER / UNDER line of 55 or more points, check this out:0-5 O/U L5Y: All NFL home favs when the OU line is 52 > points.

Monday night games have also had lower-scoring tendencies with an OU line this high.1-5-1 O/U for all MONDAY games with an OU line of 48 > points.

Let's combine the high point spread with the high OU line to see what shakes out:0-7 O/U for all DIVISION home favs of 9 > points... when the OU line is 48 > points.

NFL SOUTH Division games have had very LOW-scoring results in the first half of the season:3-14-1 O/U last 7 seasons: All NFC SOUTH division games in the FIRST half of the year... when the home team is FAVORED. And if the home team is laying "Big Chalk" (Favored by -7 > points), the results have gone a PERFECT 0-6 O/U in this time span.

A recent pattern indicates a lower-than-expected outcome for teams (like the Saints) that have exploded with points in their last two games. 0-3 O/U last 3 years: All NFL teams who scored 40 or MORE points in their last 2 games.

Spov - great stuff.  not surprising that the last 5 games with posted total of 55+ went under.  where'd you find get your info.  thx.
