Spoiler alert: expect plenty of points again this week!

A few notes on the above:
1) We have eight teams with implied team totals at 26 points or above. That’s a huge number, and it goes to show just how much scoring is up in the league this year.
2) Along the same lines, we have just three teams with implied totals below 20 points, and they are the three teams that have struggled the most offensively. Arizona is the only team that hasn’t had a game go “over” the Vegas total yet this season.
