Implied team totals taken from Vegas lines offer a nice shortcut for fantasy managers trying to identify the highest-scoring teams every week of the NFL season.
We can also use those lines to identify the teams that oddsmakers expect to score the most and fewest points for the remainder of the 2026 NFL season.
More importantly for fantasy managers, we can identify which teams have the highest implied scoring totals in the all-important fantasy playoff weeks.
Our tool below does just that, showing the projected highest-scoring teams each week, across the entire season, and for the fantasy playoffs.

What Are Implied Totals?
Implied totals are the number of points a team is projected to score according to the betting line.
Every NFL game features a point spread and a point total.
We can use that spread and total to figure out how many points each team is projected to score.
So, for instance, if the Rams are favored by 3 points (-3) in a game with a 50-point total, their “implied” total would be 26.5 points.
