I have no data, but given the second halves are higher scoring, it seems to me the inverse of the first half is the right side, particularly in extremely lopsided games. To clarify, I am talking about totals and a lopsided half of points not necessarily a blowout, in which I'd expect less 2nd half scoring.

One game comes immediately to mind as an example, MIchigan v NWU, I think the total was 63, first half was like 51-0 Michigan. I think under is generally the right side.

Even though, it seems anecdotal evidence is starting to appear that betting against the full game/2nd half middlers may have value. Which is of course the direct opposite of this. I've bet quite a few totals in the extreme of my example with success, but there are alot of folks I've talked too that are middling out in the second half, so......................??????
