The team with the highest scoring quarter for the 2026 Super Bowl had the Seattle Seahawks as a -140 favorite and the New England Patriots paying out $170 for every $100 bet. But a tie pays out $550
Odds for the highest-scoring quarter generally favor the second quarter or third quarter, with odds for a specific quarter typically ranging between +150 and +250 depending on the book.
The second quarter is historically the most common highest-scoring quarter in Super Bowl history.
Your lowest quarter odds were as follows:
- 1st Quarter +140
- 2nd Quarter +625
- 3rd Quarter +250
- 4th Quarter +475
- Tie +400
In any NFL game, the 1st and 3rd quarters tend to be the lower of the two quarters in a half as teams get more aggressive as the period comes to a close (not always).
The most combined points scored in the first quarter of any Super Bowl is 24 points, which happened in Super Bowl XXXI when the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers combined for a 14–10 first-quarter score.
But even that was not the highest scoring quarter of the game. The teams combined to score a total of 26 points in the 2nd quarter, the highest of the game. There were only 17 points scored in the second half of Super Bowl XXXI.
