INDIANAPOLIS – Sportsbooks have released betting lines on which teams will be in the highest and lowest-scoring games on Sunday. The usual suspects are at the top, while the lowest-scoring favorite may be more surprising.

Highest Scoring Game: Kansas City Chiefs Vs. Washington Football Team

It shouldn’t be all that surprising to find that legal sports betting sites are favoring the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Football Team matchup to be the highest-scoring game on Sunday considering their potential to score and allow points at a high rate.

Highest Scoring Game (Sunday Only)

Kansas City Chiefs At Washington Football Team +325
Los Angeles Chargers At Baltimore Ravens +550
Arizona Cardinals At Cleveland Browns +600
Dallas Cowboys At New England Patriots +700
Los Angeles Rams At New York Giants +900
Minnesota Vikings At Carolina Panthers +1000
Green Bay Packers At Chicago Bears +1100
Cincinnati Bengals At Detroit Lions +1200
Miami Dolphins At Jacksonville Jaguars +1200
Las Vegas Raiders At Denver Broncos +1400
Houston Texans At Indianapolis Colts +1600
Seattle Seahawks At Pittsburgh Steelers +1600

The Chiefs lead the NFL in average points per game with an astounding 63.4 points overall while the Washington Football Team isn’t too far behind with a 55.6-point average which ranks fourth in the NFL. Furthermore, Kansas City’s games on the road are seeing an average of 71.5 points per game.

The matchup has (-110) odds on both sides of the 55.5-point total, which is 3.5 points higher than the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers game, the next highest.

The Ravens/Chargers matchup and the Arizona Cardinals/Cleveland Browns matchup are the only other games of the week with teams who average 50+ combined points per game. However, Cleveland’s home games see just 42.0 points on average while Chargers away games average only 45.0 points per game.

Lowest Scoring Game: Indianapolis Colts Vs. Houston Texans

Getting a (+325) price on the Chiefs and the Washington Football Team game is nice, but NFL betting sites are offering an even better price on the favorites to be the lowest-scoring game on Sunday.

Lowest Scoring Game (Sunday Only)

Houston Texans At Indianapolis Colts +500
Seattle Seahawks At Pittsburgh Steelers +600
Las Vegas Raiders At Denver Broncos +650
Green Bay Packers At Chicago Bears +700
Miami Dolphins At Jacksonville Jaguars +750
Cincinnati Bengals At Detroit Lions +900
Los Angeles Rams At New York Giants +900
Minnesota Vikings At Carolina Panthers +900
Arizona Cardinals At Cleveland Browns +1100
Dallas Cowboys At New England Patriots +1400
Los Angeles Chargers At Baltimore Ravens +1400
Kansas City Chiefs At Washington Football Team +1600

The Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts total is set at just 43.5 points, however, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks game actually has a lower total of 42.5 and yet is lower on the odds board.

Due to Russell Wilson’s injury, the Seattle offense should struggle, while the Steelers are averaging just 18.8 points per game themselves and are dealing with injuries to players such as JuJu Smith-Schuster.

The online sportsbooks are revealing that they expect the Steelers and Seahawks to have the lowest scoring game, but are offering the second-shortest odds for this prop.
