The goal of the offense is to have the defense spinner not rest in area that corresponds to the offense play. Each defense disk is arranged in five overlapping areas with the first area being the smallest and the fifth being the largest. (Sizes vary from disk to disk.) Thus, the offensive play with the lowest numbers should theoretically have the largest chance of success. But one must also consider whether the defense is able to guess which play will be used and whether the amount of success in terms of yards gained is sufficient.

The above seems to indicate that the passes are the best plays in terms of success rate, except for the possibility of interception which are events achieved by spinning on the offense disk.
