The over/under for today's game between the New York Jets and Chicago Bears: 35.5. The actual total almost doubled that, as two top-ten defenses couldn't contain Matt Forte, Jay Cutler, and Mark Sanchez during two explosive quarters. In fact that over/under was almost met during the second quarter alone, when the Jets broke out for 24 and the Bears hung in with a touchdown of their own.
