The previous largest over/under came during the 2000 regular season. The Rams-49ers game on October 29 featured a closing total of 61.5 (opened 63).

While league scoring continues to climb, oddsmakers have adjusted quickly. Going into Monday Night Football (Giants at 49ers, total of 45), the over/under record this year is 73-73 (1 push).

The Rams are currently 2.5-point favorites against Kansas City (opened -1). The Rams and Chiefs are on pace to place in the scoring history books.

The 2013 Broncos, the highest scoring team by average and by total points in history, never had a total higher than 58.5.

Most Points Scored in a Season in NFL History

606 (2013 Denver Broncos)
589 (2007 New England Patriots)
587 (2018 New Orleans Saints' pace)
565 (2018 Kansas City Chiefs' pace)
560 (2011 Green Bay Packers)
557 (2012 New England Patriots)
556 (1998 Minnesota Vikings)
547 (2011 New Orleans Saints)
540 (2000 St. Louis Rams)
540 (2016 Atlanta Falcons)
536 (2018 Los Angeles Rams' pace)

Next Monday's historic over/under marks the 12th total since 2003 of at least 57.5. The over is 11-0 in the previous 11. Earlier this season, the Chiefs and Patriots game had a total of 59.5 points and the game ended with a 43-40 score.

Field conditions at Estadio Azteca, as well as the altitude, could impact scoring. Two of the three previous games in Mexico City have gone over the total.
