Get your guests in on the action and see who can predict the big plays‚ hilarious commercials‚ and of course‚ the final score!
Super Bowl Squares
Super Bowl Squares is a classic and incredibly simple betting game that’s perfect for large parties. It’s all about luck‚ making it fun for seasoned football fans and those who couldn’t tell a touchdown from a field goal!
- Create a 10×10 grid. Label each axis with one of the competing teams.
- Fill the squares. Have guests “buy” squares on the grid. Each square represents a possible score combination at the end of each quarter.
- Randomly assign numbers. Once all squares are filled‚ randomly assign numbers 0-9 to each row and column. These numbers will correspond to the last digit of each team’s score.
- Determine the winners. At the end of each quarter‚ the person whose square corresponds to the intersecting score digits wins! For example‚ if the score at the end of the first quarter is Patriots 7‚ Falcons 3‚ the person with the square where ‘7’ on the Patriots axis and ‘3’ on the Falcons axis intersect wins.
