Can someone give me a real explanation on how you think it is possible to cap a 1st quater of a game? or 1st half of a game? Nobody plays or coaches to win the 1st qtr or 1st half. It is a complete crap shoot and ridiculous to think you can come up with an advantage in trying. Good luck on your plays but you are basically betting on a coin flip and laying odds in doing it.
There are plenty of trends for teams. Not just only full game time, but quarters and halves. Some start off slow, some fast. For example, I'm pretty sure the Denver Broncos are more of a 2nd half team. They usually are coming from behind. That is an NFL example.
In basketball, you are pretty much getting the starters for the 1st quarter. So if you believe that a teams starting 5 is that much stronger than the other teams, but maybe the bench isn't as good, you may want to play them in the first quarter. In the 2nd half, you can start to analyze foul trouble and what players may not contribute as much in the game.
In baseball, a lot of bettors play the first 5 innings, because you can rely on a starting pitcher more. People hate getting burned by bad bullpens.
I myself like totals for quarters. 2H totals are usually higher, and will get more points due to overtimes and fouling (in basketball). 1H totals are usually lower, so they give you a better number if you trust that the pace will be high from the start.
