Super Bowl 59 Novelty bets: Gatorade shower & National Anthem

What colour Gatorade will be poured over the winning coach?

Betting on the colour of the Gatorade shower for the winning Super Bowl coach has become one of the most entertaining prop bets each year. While unpredictable, past trends can offer some insight into what might be expected.

In recent years, orange has been the most common colour, having been used in Super Bowls 2023 (Chiefs), 2021 (Buccaneers), 2017 (Broncos), and 2015 (Patriots). Orange has historically been a popular choice, likely due to its strong association with sports drinks.

However, purple emerged as a surprise pick in both 2024 and 2020, both times with the Chiefs’ victories, marking an unusual deviation from past trends.

Other colours, like blue, yellow/green, red, and clear, have appeared sporadically. Clear (water) was last used in 2016 (Broncos), while blue made its last appearance in 2019 (Patriots).

We are finding value at +350 with Marantelli Bet, for Orange and with the history of it and being used in the previous Chiefs v Eagles we are tipping Orange to be poured over the winning coach in 2025.

Over/Under Length of National Anthem (Including Instrument)

With Jon Batiste confirmed as the 2025 Super Bowl National Anthem singer, the over 120.5 seconds bet looks even stronger.

Batiste, a Grammy-winning musician, blends jazz, soul, gospel, and R&B, making him an ideal performer for a stirring and expressive anthem. Known for his rich vocal runs, dramatic pauses, and emotional delivery, Batiste isn’t the type to rush through a performance. Instead, he’s likely to savour each note, stretching key moments for maximum impact.

This year’s anthem will also carry added significance, as it marks the first major sporting event since the devastating California wildfires. Expect a deeply patriotic and heartfelt rendition, as the moment could serve as a tribute to resilience and unity.

Batiste’s musical style, coupled with the occasion’s gravity, strongly suggests a lengthened anthem well past 120.5 seconds. Recent anthems by artists with similarly soulful approaches, like Chris Stapleton (2023 – 125 seconds) and Jazmine Sullivan (2021 – 121 seconds), have all leant on the longer side.

Given Batiste’s showmanship and emotional depth, betting the over is the logical play. Expect a powerful and extended anthem performance.

Any non-quarterback to throw a touchdown

In the last game of the season, teams love to stretch their playbook, which often involves some trick plays. This bet has cashed in three of the last six years, with players such as A.J. Brown and Travis Kelce offering the most likely option.

At +2500 with top NFL bookmakers, this is another strong value bet.

Will there be a successful two point conversion? – Yes

With a high-scoring game expected, the likelihood that a team is trailing by an even number at some point is quite high.

If that is the case, then expect that team to go for two.

There have been 11 two-point conversions in Super Bowl history, including three in the last eight years, while both teams went for two at least once in their last game.

For extra value, you can back the ‘Octopus’, which is where the same player scores the touchdown and the conversion, but that is an incredibly unlikely feat.

Any player to have 205+ rushing yards

The record for most rushing yards in a Super Bowl is 204, set by Timmy Smith back in 1988.

However, this could be the year it gets broken, as Eagles running back Saquon Barkley continues his record-breaking season.

The 27-year-old has rushed for over 200 yards twice already this season and will get plenty of carries once again.

Who will the MVP mention first in his speech? – God

Three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes is the strong favourite to win this award once again.

Each time he has won it, he has gotten up on stage and mentioned God first, which he has also done after both playoff victories this postseason.

While it doesn’t offer much value, if the Chiefs win, this should be a safe bet.
