Highest Scoring Half - 2H (-134)

Super Bowl 55 Best Bet: My favorite prop bet for the Super Bowl is the 2nd Half to outscore the first half. DraftKings is currently offering this for -134. I love this bet for several reasons. In almost every Super Bowl I can remember, the 2nd half has outscored the 1st half. This might have to do with nerves or the coaches playing it more close to the vest in the biggest game. Either way, it works. Even in the Rams / Pats Super Bowl from a few years ago , that was extremely low scoring, the 2nd Half outscored the 1st half. Historically, Tom Brady has been a slow starter. in his 9 SB appearances, his teams have scored a total of 3 points in the first quarter. No, not on average; total. Wild stuff. Finally, either team that is trailing in the last quarter will naturally take more chances. This could lead to more scoring or turnovers, which leads to more scoring. I think this prop is priced cheap.
