Super Bowl Party Pool Games

The Super Bowl has been dubbed one of America's national holidays. Instead of watching the game at home, many people gather for parties on the day of the year's biggest football game. It's not enough just to sit and watch the game. Many people--even non-gamblers--like to have a little bit of action on Super Bowl Sunday and make a few bets. These bets are often pools that give a number of people several chances to win.

  1. Square Pool

    • This is the most common way of getting the crowd at your Super Bowl party involved. Make a chart with the numbers 1 through 9 along with 0 and put it across the top of a chart. Those numbers correspond with the score of the AFC team. Use the same numbers going down the left column. Those numbers correspond with the score of the NFC team. You will now have 100 party squares. If you have 10 guests at your party, each guest writes their name in 10 squares. If you have 20, each guest "owns" five squares. Award prizes at the end of each quarter and the game. If the AFC team leads 14-7 after one quarter, the party guest with the AFC number of 4 and the NFC number of 7 wins the prize. Continue in that manner after every quarter. Prizes can range from gag gifts to cash prizes.

    Who Scores First

    • This is one of the most popular pool games to play at any Super Bowl party. Have every offensive skill player's name written down on a scrap of paper, along with both kickers and a scrap for defensive touchdowns. Each person who walks into the party receives a player to score the first points of the game. If you have the player that scores the first points on your piece of paper, you win the pool.

    MVP Pool

    • Have everybody pick a name out of a hat to determine who they think will be the MVP of the game. Again, you will have the names of all the key players written down and they can be put in a hat or another receptacle. Have each guest pick a name. The one who picks the game MVP wins a prize.
