Super Bowl 55 was billed as a generational clash between the greatest quarterback of all time and the one player. Super Bowl Super Bowl 2021 Score: Quarter-by-Quarter Breakdown of Chiefs vs.
Here’s how it works and how to win.
Each player gets a board that features 10 rows and 10 columns, adding up to 100 squares. One of the teams will be assigned the rows, while the other team will be assigned the columns. After that, the numbers between zero and nine are randomly chosen for each row and column, which allows for every possible score combination.
Who gets which squares depends on the pool you enter. Some pools randomly assign squares, while others auction off certain spots or allow players to buy as many squares as they want per quarter.
Each square has a corresponding row and column number. At the end of each quarter, players will look to see if those two numbers match the end digits of each team’s point total. For example, if the score at the end of the second is Chiefs 14, 49ers 3, then the player with the square that corresponds with four for Kansas City and three for San Francisco.
Which pool players are playing in determines the pay out. Some pools pay out at the end of every quarter, or the halftime or final scores could also determine who wins.
NBC Sports has provided a template, complete with a 10 by 10 grid and the Chiefs assigned the rows and 49ers the columns. Fans can either print templates or email them out to fellow players.

With Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs winning Super Bowl LIV, we can start to look forward to Super Bowl LV in Tampa. When the Super Bowl rolls around in 2021, you may participate in an Super Bowl Squares office pool.
Of course, you won't have any idea what your numbers will be when you select your square(s). You won't find out until after all 100 squares have been filled.
For those unfamiliar with how the process works, the numbers are based on the final score for each team at the end of each quarter, half or the game. So, in other words, a score of 3, 13, 23, etc. would count as a '3' in terms of the pool.
When you find out your numbers, you will immediately have a sense of whether your numbers are good or bad. For example, you know that getting a 7 and 3 is good. You know that getting a 5 and 2 is not. Typically, anyways.

Although its occurrence declines each quarter from the first to fourth, the number 0 has come up 118 times out of 432 possible outcomes (or 27.3 percent). In the first quarter, it has come up nearly half the time (52 of 108) but only 13 percent of the time in the fourth quarter (14 of 108).
The least common number overall is 5, which has occurred 10 times out of 432 (or 2.3 percent of the time).
Below is a full chart of the results:
