Key Tips for This Bet

1. Check team averages: Look at how many points the away team usually scores in the first half.
2. Consider pace: Teams that play fast (many possessions) are more likely to go over.
3. Account for defense: Strong defensive teams may keep first-half points under the line.
4. Over/Under is not guaranteed: Even good scoring teams can have slow first halves.
