There were 837 points scored this past weekend, an NFL record. It's the first time ever the league topped 800.

Also, according to the AP:

An average of 45 points have been scored in NFL games this season. If that holds, it will top last season's average of 43.4 and the record average in the 31 seasons of a 16-game schedule: 43.7 points in 1983.

Hope you've been betting the over.
