NFL betting: Commanders-Lions over almost hits before halftime, thanks to historic 2nd quarter

If you had the under for the Washington Commanders-Detroit Lions game, all you could do was laugh. That ticket was drawing dead before halftime.

The Commanders and Lions had the highest scoring quarter in NFL playoff history in the second quarter, according to Fox. The teams combined for 42 points.

Considering the total for the game was 55.5 points at BetMGM before kickoff, there wasn't much intrigue on what way that outcome was going. In the live betting market, the total got higher than 85 during the second quarter scoring flurry. After Jared Goff threw an interception into the end zone right before the half, the live betting total settled at 83.
