Short answer: the best digits change by quarter. Across 121 NFL games this season, the most common last digit at the end of the 1st quarter was 0 (38.0%), and in final scores it was 0 (16.1%).
At the end of the 1st quarter, the most common last digits were 0 (38.0%), 7 (30.6%), 3 (21.1%), 4 (5.0%). The least common were 1 (0.0%), 2 (0.0%), 5 (0.0%).
At halftime, the most common last digits were 0 (23.6%), 7 (22.7%), 3 (20.2%), 4 (12.8%). The least common were 5 (0.0%), 8 (0.8%), 2 (1.2%).
At the end of the 3rd quarter, the most common last digits were 7 (19.4%), 3 (18.6%), 0 (17.8%), 4 (13.2%). The least common were 5 (1.7%), 2 (2.9%), 8 (2.9%).
At the final, the most common last digits were 0 (16.1%), 7 (15.7%), 3 (14.9%), 4 (14.5%). The least common were 8 (3.7%), 2 (4.5%), 5 (5.4%).
Many teams have not scored at the end of the 1st quarter, and a 10-point quarter also ends in 0, so 0 leads early. As touchdowns (7) and field goals (3) pile up, 7 and 3 catch up by the final.
On ScoreBoard the final square uses the final score, so overtime points count. These numbers are read the same way.
In past games some digits came up much more often, but on ScoreBoard the digits on every board are drawn at random after squares are picked, so nobody can choose them. This is a record of past games, not a prediction.
