When it comes to betting on NFL games, there are a few different options for bettors. One of the most popular bets is the over/under, which is a bet on how many points the game will be decided by (over or under).
However, one question that often arises is whether or not overtime counts towards the over/under. It turns out that the answer to this question is a little bit complicated.
In short, overtime does count towards the over/under, but only if it is decided in that specific extra period. If overtime is not decided in that extra period, then it does not count towards the total number of points in the game.
So, while over/under bets on NFL games typically include bets on how many points will be scored in total (regardless of whether or not overtime is played), there are some bets available that hone in specifically on how many points will be scored in overtime. In this case, overtime does indeed count towards the total number of points in the game.
