Full Credit to Boat Boat Boat for this. No/Few fans in stand lead to more Overs, because D is the unit that can be energized by fans, and operate on emotion. Offense is the unit that can be messed up by excessive fan noise.

Some things arent what they seem.
Detroit without their starting corners, with them they are better. Philadelphia Eagles decimated by injuries even a prime Joe Montana wouldn't succeed at QB for them.
Bill O Brien will get fired soon. He wont last. I get he didnt want to pay a guy all that money but Hopkins was your offense and will be one of the best WRs for the next 4 years at least. Win or not, Cowboys defense is VERY bad.
Seattle is no joke. Lunatic head coach who breathes football along with a QB who still is able to use his feet and Adams pick up makes that defense very scary.
Jets might go 0-16, seriously. Not exaggerating.

Boat makes some good points.
Perhaps conditioning is part of it? I think more players out of game shape than normal, that probably favors the offense?
You know what you are doing, where you are going, when you can take a play off.......
On defense you must defend at peak levels throughout.
Only surprise here is 51 years ago the NFL was averaging more points in the first two weeks? Am I reading that correctly?

Thanks for the observations and opinions gang, PM thats since the 1970 merger
Good point about fans and defenses and emotional energy from the stands.
What's more, NFL head coaches are finally using all four downs in enemy territory.
Teams are looking to score 7, not settle for 3.

The Detroit situation bears watching as Patricia is on very thin ice. The good news is they will be worth backing soon when Golliday comes back. Stafford is the QB you want when getting a bunch of points.
they have been practicing for 50+ years without fans .This is nothing new. If holding by refs is down by a lot could be more of an answer. Sort of like the juiced ball theory to get more scoring for TV. The coaches know for sure. They keep time on the QB how many seconds the QB is supposed to have.
