Super Bowl LVII Special Props: Anthem, Coin Toss, Gatorade

• Chris Stapleton’s National Anthem performance has an over/under of two minutes and two seconds, but fans have never seen him sing the Anthem before
• The coin toss has -105 odds for either heads or tails
• Gatorade color dumped on winning coach often has colors in common with the team, yellow and orange are the favorites at +125 and +250, respectively

GLENDALE, Ariz. – The Super Bowl is one of the biggest betting events of the year, not just because of the game itself, but everything else that comes with it. Betting on things such as the coin toss, length of national anthem, and color of the Gatorade shower have become synonymous with the Super Bowl.

Chris Stapleton headlines the National Anthem performance as the first solo male performer since 2017’s Luke Bryan. Legal sports betting sites have set his performance’s time over/under to two minutes and two seconds.

Bryan went under his 2:09 prop by five seconds.

Stapleton’s National Anthem

National Anthem Odds

• Over 2 minutes and 2 seconds -135
• Under 2 minutes and 2 seconds +105

The other male performer since 2007, when Anthem time started being recorded, was Billy Joel going under with a very short 1:30 performance. Barring a long guitar solo or similar theatrics, we can expect that Stapleton won’t be extending the time with long notes a la Alicia Keys.

Thus, the under seems like a solid value at +105, especially with this being the highest over/under in five years.

Gatorade Shower History Reveals Useful Information

Color of Liquid Poured on Winning Coach Odds

• Lime/Green/Yellow +125
• Orange +250
• Purple +650
• Red +700
• Clear/Water +700
• Blue +900

The Gatorade shower is one of the most iconic traditions in sports and betting on its color is a Super Bowl mainstay. Super Bowl betting sites have thus released the odds for each color, favoring the colors previously used by each team.

Luckily, we have seen both of these teams win in recent years and know that their Gatorade colors were yellow for the Eagles and orange for the Chiefs.

Since 2015, the Gatorade color of the winner typically matches loosely with the team color, only straying from this in 2021 when the Buccaneers Gatorade was blue and 2017 when the Patriots opted not to do the shower.

In short, Chiefs bettors would be wise to play orange at +250 odds, as little has changed since their last Super Bowl victory. Red may be interesting longshot odds at +700 for those keen on matching team colors.

Eagles bettors can similarly stick with the favorited yellow as it most matches the team’s colors and was their previous Gatorade color in 2018’s SB win.

A Literal Coin Flip

Coin Flip Odds

• Heads -105
• Tail -105

Betting on the opening coin flip is a storied tradition in Super Bowl betting, and this year is no different. With predictably equal odds of -105 for each, there is no real way to recommend either one. Since 2000, the coin flip results are 11 heads and 12 tails.

Sticking with the idea of a 50/50 split throughout the century, heads would be the choice to even up the score 12-12 for heads vs tails. However, we know the saying tails never fails…
