What are NFL First-Half odds, and should I bet on NFL First-Half?

NFL First Half odds are the same exact concept as betting an NFL spread. The most popular strategy to bet on a football game is against the spread. Still, if you want to adventure into more advanced play, you may choose to bet against the spread for the first half of the game. The spread determines the points a team needs to cover to win or lose.

Following the basic principle of betting on the point spread in the NFL First Half betting lines, the favorite will always be represented by a negative number (-6). At the same time, the underdog is listed with positive numbers (+6). Betting an NFL first-half spread can be advantageous to bettors if they know how a team is performing weekly, like if a team starts out hot or if they are known as a team that wakes up late until the second half. Although betting 1st half spread sounds easy, it's a type of wager that requires you to be well informed since you will need to follow trends and stats more carefully and know each team.

NFL First Half betting lines Example: Las Vegas Raiders -3.5 (Raiders must be winning the game by more than 3.5 points after the second quester ends) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars +3.5 (Jaguars cant be losing by more than after the second quarter ends).

The Las Vegas Raiders will play the Jacksonville Jaguars in Ohio at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, and the NFL First Half betting lines are set at -3.5 with the Raiders favored. The Jaguars (+3.5) can lose the 1st half by up to 3 points and still cover. The Raiders (-3.5) must be winning the game by at least 4 points to cover the First Half spread. 

So, let's say the Jaguars are leading the Raiders 10 to 7 at the half. In this scenario, the Jaguars (+3.5) lead 13.5 to 3.5 against the Raiders (-3.5). Because we are going by the First Half point spread, you add 3.5 to the halftime score for the Raiders and take out 3.5 points for the Jaguars. The winner of the First Half bet was the team that came out on top after that calculation. In this case, all Jaguars backers win, and everyone who bet the Raiders' First Half -3.5 takes the loss.

NFL First-Half Moneylines, Point Spreads, and Totals

While most bettors are focused on the spreads, moneylines, and totals for the full game, there are far more options to consider when deciding how to invest your money. One of these options is to bet on the first half of NFL games. Betting on the first half offers the same types of bets as the entire game, including a Spread (Point Spread), a Moneyline, and a total (Over/Under bet). Only in this case the winner or loser is decided at halftime.

First-half betting has many advantages, which we will discuss here.

Looking at past performances, you'll notice that some teams are slow to get going, while others charge right out of the gate. Even bad football teams can play well early in games but fail to adjust to what is going on as the game progresses. On the other hand, great teams may start slowly, but making adjustments throughout the game can turn the game around.

You can profit from these tendencies by betting on the first half. If you know a team is a quick starter despite being the underdog, you may be able to find a favorable NFL First Half Odds to bet on. Conversely, if you know that a heavy favorite starts slowly, you may choose them to fail to cover the first-half spread even if you believe they will come back and win the game.

The top NFL teams generally perform well in the first half of games. The betting public knows this and will likely place good money on first-half bets. The information we discussed earlier about slow starters vs. fast starters and in-game adjustments could assist an astute NFL player in finding exceptional value in underdogs for a first-half bet.

First-half betting also allows you to compare more lines and find value more easily than if you only bet on full games. NFL First-half odds are more difficult to set because so many factors come into play in such a short period of time. The spread cannot simply be set at half what it is for the entire game. They must consider the sport's scoring system, especially when playing football.

You also need to consider the circumstances of the match when betting on the first half of the game: If neither team can afford to lose, expect a more passive first half as teams try to avoid conceding an early score. Even a high-scoring matchup could result in a lower first-half point total.

NFL First-half betting lines have many advantages. The fact that they allow you to choose from a more comprehensive number of odds is reason enough to try them.
