If you like a lot of scoring and big blowouts in football, this is your week.
On Monday night, expect plenty of points by both sides in the Chiefs-Rams game. Oddsmakers have set an over-under total on the game at a staggering 63½. That is the highest total in the history of the N.F.L. The average total score in an N.F.L. game this season is about 46.
The biggest factor in setting a total is the teams’ ability to score.
