    Its a blow out when the losing team capitulates and puts in all the backups, or just starts to work on certain aspects of their overall game. So sure the Giants today might lose by 17 points, but if they are down by 17 and start doing stuff like running sweeps with certain personnel, then you know it was a blowout.

    Blow out is defined as 6-9 scores, this is the best way for blowies as well

    It all depends on the spread.

    If a team is favored by 14 points to win and they win by 21 points it is not a blowout.

    If a team is favorite by 2 points and they win by 21 points it is a blowout.

    So it is not the final score that determines the blowout but a combination of the spread and final score.

    17 or more points in nfl in college it's 25 points or more

    and when teams wax putrid losers like 44-6 watch out next game vs a healthy opponent that has like 3 or 5 wins

    It’s minimum 3 scores, not max. By your logic, it could 6-0 with 3 safeties…
