What would be a decent odds for an exact score pick at
the end of the first quarter of the NFL opener?

(Dallas @ Tampa)

I know someone headed to Vegas to place the bet for me
but I'm not sure what kind of odds I should be asking for?

I mean this far out it's got to be pretty good right?

If I was taking the bet, somewhere between 15 and 20-1

If you were talking end game, I would agree. But if I'm not mistaken you said end of first quarter score? What odds would you give if someone bet with you? I am an X heavy gambler from the 90s. Not proud of it. Not trying to brag. Just being realistic. We're talking end of first quarter. I don't care what the situation is, a 7-3 score is quite likely. Or something like 6-3, or even 3-0. You're probably not going to get super high odds. A 20-1 is more than generous. You have to consider the people that hit it. At 20-1, you need 20 people to miss for every person that hits just to break even, hypothetically. And there aren't a lot of first quarter scores that could do that.

Thanks, your comments got me thinking.

I overestimated the value of the time until the game

I probably would not get better odd guessing a first quarter score of the game opening the 2025 season
baring a massive rule change that affects scoring possibilities.

Also, being that it's a first quarter score, the possibilities are limited.
It's not like the score could be 56-13.

I guess my prediction will remain just that.
