Best numbers for football squares
How often one team's score ends in each digit, by period. Touchdowns with the extra point (7) and field goals (3) make 0, 7, 3 and 4 the digits to hope for. 2, 5 and 8 need safeties, missed kicks or two-point tries. Tap a column to sort by it.

| 5 | 2.1% | 0.1% | 1.0% | 2.4% | 4.7% |
"All 4" is the digit's share of all four quarter-end scores. The 1st quarter is the most lopsided: many games are still 0–0, 7–0 or 3–0 after 15 minutes. By the final, scores have spread out and the gap between good and bad digits is smaller.

Each grid is a board with its numbers in order: every square shows its chance to win, by the last digit of each team's score. With no team picked, a grid reads the same either way round, so each pair is shown once: for 0–7, look up 7–0. Regular season and playoffs.
This first grid counts all four quarters: how often a square won at least one of them. The four below are one quarter each.

How the calculator works
- It keeps the past games that match what you pick: the seasons, regular season or playoffs, and the teams on each side.
- For each period it counts how often each pair of last digits came up. A square's chance is how often its pair came up.
- Your chance for a period is your squares' chances added up. Your chance to win at least once is counted from the games too: the share of them in which your squares won any period.
- Nothing is adjusted or blended in. A square whose digits never came up in the games you picked shows 0, and a small sample (one team, or the Super Bowl) comes with a warning.
These are past results, not a prediction for any one game. The numbers on a squares board are drawn at random, which is what keeps the game fair. The final score includes overtime.
Questions
Football squares odds, answered
0, 7 and 3. In the last 10 NFL seasons (2016–2025, 2,761 games), a team's score ended in 0 at the end of the 1st quarter 41% of the time. For the final score the order is 0, 7, 4, 3.
15% over the last 10 seasons. 0–0 is the single likeliest square for the 1st quarter.
0–7 (and the same digits the other way round), at 3.7%. The final score spreads out more than the 1st quarter, so no square is much above 3 to 4%.
In the 27 Super Bowls from 2000 to 2026, a team's final score ended in 1 (10 of 54 scores), 3 (8 of 54 scores), 4 (7 of 54 scores) most often. Pick "Super Bowl only" in the calculator above to see every square's chance from those 27 games. It's a small sample, so treat it as rough.
On average 1% per period, since one of 100 squares wins each time. In the last 10 seasons the average square won at least one of the 4 periods in 3.5% of games. That's less than 4 × 1%, because the same square often wins more than one period. A square with good numbers can be several times better, and one with 2s, 5s or 8s much worse.
5, 2, 8, 9 come up least. A team's final score ends in 5 only 4.7% of the time.
No. It shows how often past NFL games ended each period on each pair of digits. It doesn't know who's playing or who's injured. The numbers on a board are drawn at random, which is what keeps squares fair.
