Create Your Football Squares Pool Find Your PoolA football squares pool is one of the most popular football games around. Everyone picks one or more squares on a 10×10 grid (100 squares total). After all squares are claimed, numbers 0–9 are randomly assigned to each row and column. At the end of each quarter, the last digit of each team’s score determines which square wins.
SquaresPool.com puts the whole thing online. You get your own pool page, players claim their squares on their phone or computer, and the site figures out the winner each quarter automatically — no paper grid, no spreadsheet headaches.
If you're not sure “what the heck is a squares pool”?, then looking at an example sheet I think will be better than 1,000 words in describing what we mean by “squares pool”: Squares Pool Example
So, at SquaresPool.com we are doing pretty much what you see there, BUT we do it in an electronic format. (Much more fun!)
Numbers are assigned randomly after everyone claims their squares, so no one gets to pick their numbers. But some digits come up more often in NFL scores than others. Here’s the breakdown based on 267 NFL games (534 scores):
| Digit | Times Occurred | Percent | Most common scores |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 94 | 15.6% | 17 (42×), 27 (27×), 7 (17×) |
| 0 | 86 | 14.3% | 20 (39×), 10 (26×), 30 (14×) |
| 4 | 82 | 13.6% | 24 (40×), 14 (21×), 34 (20×) |
| 3 | 80 | 13.3% | 23 (32×), 13 (30×), 3 (13×) |
| 1 | 41 | 6.8% | 31 (20×), 21 (12×) |
| 6 | 37 | 6.1% | |
| 9 | 33 | 5.5% | |
| 8 | 31 | 5.1% | |
| 5 | 30 | 5.0% | |
