Will There Be Overtime Super Bowl Prop Bet History

Only one Super Bowl in NFL history has had to be decided in overtime. The New England Patriots came back from a 28-3 deficit to defeat the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI. It is worth noting that many Super Bowl have come close, though. Eight of the last 14 matchups have ended within one possession.

Super Bowl Overtime Rules

If the game is tied at the end of regulation, a coin toss called by the visiting team will determine which team starts with the football and which team starts on defense during the 10-minute overtime period. Both teams will get the opportunity to possess the ball unless the first team with the ball scores a touchdown. The game would be over at that point.

Let's say both teams have possessed the football and either not scored or kicked a field goal. The game would then go into sudden death mode, meaning the next score of any kind wins. That would be the case if the game was forced to go into a second overtime period as well. Each team is also given two timeouts to use in overtime.

The Rams and Bengals both scored exactly 460 points during the regular season. These are two of the best two-minute drill offenses in the league thanks to their deep arsenal of offensive weapons.
