Super Bowl Squares: Likeliest Numbers to Hit in Second Half

The Super Bowl is easily the biggest sports event of the year, but let's not forget the epic games within the game.

Will Rob Gronkowski's ankle hinder him in the second half, and how will the Giants choose to cover him?

Is Bill Belichick going to keep using Danny Woodhead in the running game? Will Hakeem Nicks play a bigger role?

Which numbers are going to hit in Super Bowl squares?

That's right, that may be the bigger question for most, as I hardly believe most casual Super Bowl party attenders are interested in breaking down the smaller aspects of the game.

If you want to know if your number has a chance of coming up look no further, as I've put together a breakdown of the numbers most likely to show up in the second half:

5 and 7

Right now these are the two numbers that have to be feeling pretty good. As I am writing this, the score is 15-17 thanks to a safety that came on the Patriots first drive.

While five normally wouldn't be the number you want, right now it's looking good if neither team scores again, or if the Giants can't score and the Patriots score a touchdown and a field goal by the end of the game.

2 and 0

These are also two numbers that I feel have a high percentage shot of showing up. This would mean that the Giants have to score a touchdown in the last quarter, which is highly probable, and then the Patriots need just a field goal or 13 more points.

8 and 3

These two numbers would be winners if each team only scores a field goal. Both defenses have had their moments tonight, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see these two numbers come up.

Right now these are the numbers that look to have the best shot. The Patriots are on the normal scoring path that you would expect, with points coming in threes and sevens, but the Giants have really changed the squares game with that safety they got in the first quarter.

At this point anything could happen, but you've got to feel good if you have these pairs.
