These figures represent the projected number of points a particular National Football League team is expected to score in a given game, as derived from betting market odds. They are calculated by taking the point spread and over/under total for a game and using those values to mathematically determine an individual team’s expected point output. For example, if a team is favored by 3 points in a game with an over/under of 47, its projected point total would be 25 ( (47+3)/2).
The calculated projections are valuable tools for evaluating potential offensive performance. Their relevance extends to fantasy football, where they assist in player valuation and lineup construction, and sports betting, where they can inform wagers on individual player props or game outcomes. Historically, the use of projected scoring totals has become increasingly sophisticated as data analysis techniques advance and predictive models become more refined.
