Week 6 Score Report: The Defenses are Heard From!!

Probably another week that Vegas calls for an under-reset, as the NFL has it's lowest-scoring average week (Monday nighter still to come) by almost FOUR FULL POINTS.

2005: 45.00
2002: 44.79
2007: 44.62
2006: 43.38
2010: 43.00
2009: 42.50
2008: 42.29
2004: 41.71
2011: 41.00
2003: 39.79
2001: 36.46

Lowest-scoring Week 6 in eight years.

But even with that, 2011 is STILL the highest per-game scoring average since at least 2001. The margin is now about .016 of a point, but it still holds the mark:

2011: 45.5955
2002: 45.5795
2008: 44.58
2007: 42.30
2003: 42.23
2009: 42.22
2010: 41.78
2005: 41.42
2004: 40.25
2006: 40.00 (right on the number)
2001: 39.26

Using information from vegasinsider.com:

Over-under: The "over" was 2-5 in the early games, though a couple of them did come within a point (and a couple games this week actually came within a HALF-point), and there appeared to be fairly severe across-the-board action moving the numbers down from last week. Only Indy-Cincy and Giants-Buffalo actually made the total.

Of the rest, only the Sunday Night Dogshit Game of the Week went over.

The "over" went 3-9 on Sunday, it's worst week of the year.
