Rams and Chiefs Set for Week 11 Shootout with Record Posted Total
Bookmakers Brace for Rams and Chiefs Week 11 Shootout in Mexico City – Record Posted Total of 64 Points
One of the most anticipated games of the NFL season is set in Week 11, as the Los Angeles Rams (9-1) and Kansas City Chiefs (9-1) matchup features the two teams with the best records meeting in Mexico City.
Here is the article I wrote for TheLines featuring the game and stats with a record over/under total of 64 points posted at the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas.
NFL games are averaging a record 48.1 points per game through 10 weeks, and the Rams/Chiefs total of 64 makes NFL history as a a new record high.
The Rams and Chiefs feature two of the most creative and explosive offenses in the league, as Los Angeles averages 33.5 points per game and Kansas City averages 35.3 points per game. Only the Saints (36.7 PPG) average more points following New Orleans week 11 wipeout of Cincinnati, 51-14.
Both quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs and Jared Goff of the Rams are on pace to pass for more than 5,000 yards.
The Chiefs only loss of the season was Week 6 at New England in a 43-40 shootout.
The Rams only loss of the season was Week 9 at New Orleans in a similar 45-35 shootout.
Bookmakers are bracing for more fireworks and record scoring on Monday Night Football in Mexico City on Nov. 19.
