How to Bet on NFL Quarter Odds?

Quarter betting lines in the NFL allow bettors to wager on each of the four quarters independently. Basketball also has this option, so it's not just limited to football. In the NFL, though, it is more popular. Quarter lines are usually released at the end of the previous quarter. So, yes, it's a hybrid of live betting.

NFL Quarter Line Betting Rules

As in most bets, there are rules to follow or that you should know before placing your wager. So let's go through them.

  • NFL Quarter betting lines are calculated just like straight bets unless otherwise indicated by the book. The game must go the full quarter length for the bet to have action.
  • Overtime is not included in the fourth quarter, so if you place a wager in the fourth quarter, it will end there and not in overtime.
  • Quarter bets do not allow parlays, teaser bets, or buying points.

Betting Strategy for NFL Quarter betting lines

First Quarter Betting Strategy: Betting on the home team has an advantage in the first quarter. The home team scores nearly more points per game in the first quarter. When a home team is favored by a point spread of -6 or less, they are usually a -1 or -2 favorite in the first quarter. That is a great place to bet in the first quarter.

Second Quarter Betting Strategy: The first step in this strategy is to keep an eye on the game because if you don't, you could end up in big trouble. If the favored team has a slow start, it is a sign that they will rebound in the second quarter. The second quarter is one of the most exciting parts of a game. This is because of various factors like field positioning, one of the most critical factors.

A team may already lurk in the red zone as the first quarter finishes, putting them in field goal range to begin the second. Of course, the touchdown has a higher chance of occurring.

The second quarter sits like the perfect time to go for the over as there will be many "free" score opportunities if they put points early in the period. In this case, you get 12 to 14 minutes to get the rest of the over.

Third Quarter Strategy: On the books, this is the NFL's lowest-scoring quarter. Despite this, you should not take them for granted. You can profit here.

Look for the favorite players that underperformed in the first half. Even better if they receive the ball in the second half. After adjusting at halftime, the good teams will come out aggressive in the third quarter.

Fourth Quarter Strategy: The game's last stanza can make or break the outcome. Why? If a team is winning by a large margin, they will indeed step down on the gas allowing the other team to score garbage time points, winning them the quarter. Or it can be an absolute shootout, and you come into a coin toss. 

In the fourth quarter, look for the totals. The offenses tend to play at a higher pace since there is a sense of more urgency. For example, a good team down 10-14 points will go all-in in the last quarter. The overs are usually a great bet on the NFL's final, decisive quarters.

However, consider what each team has done in the previous three quarters. Don't go betting blindly on a team based on their roster without considering how the game has developed.
