If you make football a game where it's expected to score on every possession, then you can do that with average players. It'll decrease the difference between the Tom Brady QBs and the David Carr QBs, because Tom Brady could score against tough defenses while anybody can score against neutered defenses. So it'll be less important to have a top-notch offense because it's so easy to score.

On defense, the key will be to stop an offense for one or two drives in a game. If you can do that you win, because your offense will be scoring every time it's on the field. So even though defenses are going to look terrible, it'll be more important to have a "good" defense that can give up only 31 points per game instead of 40 points per game.

I don't think I really want to watch games like that, but I think that's what will happen. Let me know, because I'll be outside going for a run on Sundays.

Did some research last year and went back about 10 years on Scores and Odds to look at Vegas over/unders (total points scored in a game) and there were plenty of games that Vegas had put in the 37-40 point range.

Last season it was almost impossible to ever find a game with that kind of over/under.
