Another popular yearly Super Bowl prop is back as the Gatorade color prop has officially gone live on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Bettors can wager on the color of the Gatorade that will be poured on either Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor or Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay. Here are the opening odds:
Color of Gatorade poured on winning coach
Orange: +200
None: +350
Blue: +400
Clear/Water: +450
Yellow/Green: +450
Red/Pink: +600
Purple: +1000
Orange opens as the odds-on favorite at +200 and there’s precedent as to why. The winning Super Bowl coach has been doused in orange Gatorade a record five times since it became an annual tradition at Super Bowl 35 in 2001. Blue is the next color in line at +400 and it has won out two of the last three years. Clear/water comes in at +450 but that would require a significant comeback considering it hasn’t been used since Super Bowl 42 in 2008.
There’s also the option of wagering that no liquid bath will happen at all, which has the second highest odds at +350. This scenario has happened four times since 2001 and unsurprisingly, three of those instances involved the New England Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick. One would imagine the significantly younger coaches of McVay and Taylor being more willing to have Gatorade dumped on them but you never know.
