But by the final score, the number 1 has been as frequent of a winner as 0, with its percentages going from 0, to 3, to 7, to 13. Neither has been the final digit of a first-quarter Super Bowl score. The number 3 was the final digit in just seven of 92 final Super Bowl scores.īy contrast, the numbers 1 and 5 gain momentum as games progress as the chances of a multiple-of-7 score of 21 or 35 increases. Likewise, the number 3’s winning chances drop by quarter, going from 23 percent, to 18, to 12, to 8. But that percentage drops each quarter, going down to 30 percent in the second quarter, 20 percent in the third and 13 percent for the final score. In the 46 Super Bowls, 0 has been at the end of a quarter-score 43 times of a possible 92 (47 percent). Have a 0 in your square for the first quarter? You’re golden. And because of the latter, the number 0’s winning percentage drops as the game goes on. The number 0 has been the most frequent square winner for two reasons: 10 is a common football score and it’s the default, game-starting score. The number 5 has only been part of a winner 10 times (3 percent). In the previous 46 Super Bowls – with four quarter-scores for each of two teams – 2 and 8 have each been digits in a winning square just nine out of 368 possible occurrences (2 percent). In fact, 2 and 8 are the worst football square numbers possible.
In a sport that counts 3 for a field goal and 7 for a converted touchdown, a score with 2 or 8 as the final digit is infrequent. But the reason that numbers like 0, 7 and 3 have been winners so often in prior Super Bowls is that they are football-friendly numbers.
Previous winning numbers don’t predict which numbers will come up in Sunday’s Super Bowl. That’s more pronounced in the first quarter where the numbers 0, 3 and 7 have been winning quarter-score numbers in 82 of the possible 92 possible occurrences. Among all the winning digits in the first 46 Super Bowls, the numbers 0, 3 and 7 have been among those 63 percent of the time: 0 led with 27 percent 7 with 21 percent and 3 with 15 percent. Those three numbers have been the most common final digits in a Super Bowl quarter or final score – football squares operate on a 100-square grid formed by the final digit in each team’s score at the end of the first three quarter and at game’s end. Well, if your squares include the numbers 0, 3 or 7, there might be some money in it for you.
Now that the feeling of being a philanthropist has subsided, one thought emerges: What’s in this for No. He or she probably thought of the common numbers for this game and ended up getting outsmarted by you, so props! No one likes the try-hards who take games like this too seriously, so good for you putting them into their places.So you’ve shown your support for friends, family, co-workers’ kids and bought a few Super Bowl squares.
There’s a pretty good chance one of the guests at your Super Bowl party was very strategic and selective about the numbers he or she chose, or that this person tried to rig the draw in some way. It’s 0-0 after the first quarter, so if you have the square corresponding to the number 0 for the Atlanta Falcons and 0 for the New England Patriots, congratulations, you’re a winner! Collect your Super Bowl squares earnings for the first quarter from your friends and family, and make sure they hear about it. But we’re here now, and I’m not one to call names, so you’re playing every quarter for money. When it’s played every quarter, it might just be a sign of gambling addiction. When played once during the course of the game, Super Bowl squares can be a fun game.
