In theory, the number of points would be limited by how fast a team could score during the allotted time for the game. A standard football game consists of four 15-minute quarters (12-minute quarters in high-school football and often shorter at lower levels). As an example: if a team could score a touchdown once per minute of a game and make a two-point conversion after each touchdown, then score a safety on the subsequent kickoff to the other team, they could score 600 points in a game. Such a scenario is exceedingly unlikely.
The highest actual score in College Football is believed to be the 1916 Cumberland vs. Georgia Tech football game, played on October 7, 1916, between the Georgia Tech Engineers and the Cumberland College Bulldogs at Grant Field (now known as Bobby Dodd Stadium) in Atlanta, Georgia. The game became the most lopsided in the history of college football, as Georgia Tech was victorious 222-0.
In professional football, the highest score by one team (during playoffs) was 73 points when the Chicago Bears beat the Washington Redskins 73-0 on December 8, 1940.
Highest scoring game was when the Washington Redskins beat the New York Giants 72-41 (a total of 113 points between the two teams) on November 27, 1966.

There are so many rules that even people who grew up playing and loving the game do not know.

In short, no one I have ever asked this question has been able to answer.
What is different between American football and Australian football?
The difference between soccer (otherwise known as "football" to many) and football (otherwise known as "American football" to many), is basically the whole way the two sports are played. While the objective, like many sports, is to score more points than the opposing team, the way the points are scored are vastly different. In soccer, by getting the ball into the opposing teams net using nothing but one's feet or head is basically how all points are scored. In football, getting the ball to break the plane of the end zone (touchdown) by carefully moving up the field is basically how a majority of points are scored.
