🔢 What are the best numbers for AFC Championship Game Squares?
Since most scoring in football is done in sevens (converted touchdowns with a successful point-after attempt) and threes (field goals), some numbers are better to hold than others. Zero is the most common last number for a team’s score, and the numbers 0, 7, and 3 have combined to hit more than 50% of the time in Super Bowl history.
The numbers 5, 2, and 8 are the worst squares to have, combining to hit approximately 8% of the time. However, recent changes to the way NFL football is played (such as teams attempting more two-point conversions and missing more extra points) mean anything’s possible. So don’t lose hope if you get one of these numbers!

🏈 What to know about AFC Championship Squares
AFC Championship Squares is a fun, low-stress game that works perfectly for a big matchup like the 2026 AFC Championship Game between the Patriots and Broncos. Anyone can win, even casual fans who are mostly there to enjoy the game, snack table, and commercials.
To win a prize, you just need to own the square that matches the last digit of each team’s score at the end of a quarter or at the end of the game.
How to play AFC Championship Squares
Start by drawing a 10-by-10 grid, creating 100 total squares. One side of the grid is assigned to the Patriots, and the other is assigned to the Broncos.
Next, numbers from 0 to 9 are randomly assigned to each row and column. Because some number combinations are more valuable than others, these numbers should stay hidden until all squares are claimed. Once everyone has picked their squares and added their initials, reveal the numbers.
At the end of each quarter and at the final whistle, the square that matches the last digit of both teams’ scores wins a prize. For example, if New England leads Denver 17–10 at the end of a quarter, the winning square would be Patriots 7 and Broncos 0.
How to win AFC Championship Squares
At its core, Squares is a game of luck since the numbers are random. Still, some players like to hedge by buying multiple squares or grouping picks along the same row or column to increase their chances of landing a favorable number.
Who plays AFC Championship Squares?
Just about everyone. Squares are popular at watch parties, office pools, and fundraisers, and you don’t even need to be in the same room to play.
📖 How to read AFC Championship Squares odds
Squares odds are typically shown in American odds, like +500 or -200. Positive odds show how much profit you’d make on a $100 bet, while negative odds show how much you need to wager to win $100.
Lower odds imply a more likely score combination, while higher odds suggest a long shot. For example, if Patriots 7–0 is listed at +500 and Broncos 7–0 is +1000 for any quarter, the Patriots outcome is considered more likely. A $100 bet at +500 would return $600 total if it hits.
