After an exciting NFL season, Super Bowl 2023 is finally here as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Glendale, Ariz. on Sunday night.

Along with the other fun and random bets to place on Super Bowl Sunday, like guessing the coin flip outcome or Gatorade color, the classic Super Bowl squares lives on — and we at The Post have you covered with a printable boxes template.

How do Super Bowl squares work?

You don’t need much knowledge about football in order to play. The square has 10 vertical columns and 10 horizontal rows which adds up to a total of 100 squares. In this case, the Eagles are given the columns and the Chiefs are given the rows. Both the rows and columns have values from 0-9 at random so any score result is possible.

Every individual square is purchased separately, but they are priced the same. After each square is bought, every square is assigned a random number from 0 to 9.

Typically, there are prizes given out based on the score at the end of each quarter (or overtime, if the game is tied after the fourth). The person who has the box that corresponds to the last number of each team’s score wins that quarter. So if the Chiefs lead 14-7 at halftime, whoever has the Chiefs-4, Eagles-7 square wins.

Sometimes, the game is played with one winner getting the pot based solely on the final score. For example, if the Eagles won the game 24-21 over the Chiefs, whoever had the intersection of “4” in the Eagles column and “1” in the Chiefs row wins.

What are the best squares to have?

Based on how football scoring works, some squares are more desirable than others.

For instance, having two and five aren’t great as those numbers are unlikely second-digits in football scores. The best numbers to draw are zero, seven, and three. One and four are also solid as well.

0-0, 0-3, 3-0, 7-0, 0-7, and 7-7 have been the best combinations in Super Bowl history, so if you get ’em, you should be in good shape.
