    The numbers should go in a random order after everyone has chosen their squares to randomize it.

    Try to have all the squares filled before the game starts. If that does happen, then nobody wins.
  • Question
    How you pull numbers for a football pool with different numbers for each quarter?
    Ellie Barry
    Community Answer
    I don't think that doing that makes sense because you could only win for the quarter you're in. Instead, try having 2 grids.
  • Question
    Can you play football squares on every game, not just the Super Bowl?

    Definitely! It is just a common thing to do it with the Super Bowl. It could also work for basketball or other high scoring sports.
  • Question
    Should your Super Bowl board be the same way as the TV shows it? For example: Away team on top and home team on bottom?

    Community Answer
    It doesn't really matter which team is on the top or on the side. If want, you can put the away team on the top.
  • Question
    So if the score is 3 and 0 would 0, 0 win?

    No. If the Dolphins had 3 and the Panthers had 0, whoever had 3 on the Dolphins' side and 0 on the Panthers' side would win.
  • Question
    How does a 5x5 square work?
    Ellie Barry
    Community Answer
    If you do a 5x5 square, write 2 numbers in each box instead of just 1. Or, have people buy more than 1 square.

  • Question

    Yes. You do keep your square for all quarters of the football game. It is also possible for the same square to win multiple times.

    For this activity, all you need is a grid of dots, a pencil and your brain. Let us discover how many squares you can make on different grids: So, let's try drawing in some squares and count how many: 1 by 1. That seems to be easy too. There are four of them, aren't there?

  • Question
    What if a game goes into overtime?
    Tim Harrison
    Community Answer
    In sports betting, overtime generally counts unless stated otherwise. Moneyline: Overtime is included, and the final result after OT determines the winner. Point Spread: OT is factored into the final score for spread calculations. Over/Under: Points in overtime count toward the total. Prop Bets: Player and game props typically include overtime unless otherwise specified. Always check the sportsbook’s rules for specific markets, as some may exclude overtime.
