In NFL
Now back to your regularly scheduled Thursday Night Football programming. Following a shockingly fun run of TNF action, oddsmakers are forecasting the return of offensive clunkers with a Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens total of 37.5. At the current number, this matchup is on pace for the lowest TNF over/under since 2012.
In fact, should it tick down just half a point and close at 37, it would then be the lowest TNF total since 2009.
The table below lists the nine Thursday Night Football games that closed with an over/under of 37.5 and below, since 2003.
