Seems like typical NFL game is 21-17 or something like that, when college has more blowouts & it seems rare when the winning team doesn't hit at least 40.

I don't think the difference is scoring is that large. The NFL median points per team per game last season was 24.8. For teams in the SEC, the median points per team per game last season was 26.2, and in the Big 12 the median was 29.6.
