TOTALS WATCH

Week Avg. Prev Avg. Line Avg. Total Delta Overs %
5 51.3 50.0 51.8 +1.8 50%
6 51.4 49.5 47.4 -2.1 29%
7 50.8 48.9 50.6 +1.7 46%
8 50.8 46.9 47.6 +0.7 64%
9 50.8 48.7

Ten NFL teams play indoors (or with a retractable roof), so you’d expect 4-5 games in those stadiums in a typical week. Week 8 only had one such team playing at home — the Detroit Lions. Additionally, there were multiple games with 20-plus m.p.h. winds.
