Odds by ESPN BET

Dolan: Have fun with this! The coin toss is one of the most popular props to bet on for a reason. It's a specialty and people want to have fun betting on something that is truly 50-50. Without getting into the nitty gritty of the coin toss, tails won last year for what it is worth. Gatorade can be a little more complex. Purple won last season and ESPN BET has pink/red as the favorite with clear/water posted as the longshot. This is another fun market, but not as fun as the coin flip excitement at the beginning of the game if you ask me!

Moody: My favorite novelty prop bet is the color of the first gatorade poured on the winning head coach. Teams and players in the NFL are superstitious and live by their routines. Erin noted that purple gatorade was the drink the Chiefs dumped on Andy Reid during last year's Super Bowl. That's what I recommend since I believe Kansas City will win and it's also Taylor Swift's favorite color.

Walder: On gatorade color, I think you really just have to play the number because I can't imagine that the chances are really that different from simply the likelihood of each color drink being on the sideline. And so to me the choice that easily stands out is Water/Clear (+1000). Is it feasible that water is on the sideline? Extremely!

Dolan: Travis Kelce Anytime Touchdown Scorer and KC Chiefs to win +280. For starters, I like the Chiefs to win outright. Patrick Mahomes and Kelce have chemistry and have been on this big stage plenty of times. Kelce just finished with 11 receptions for 116 receiving yards and one touchdown
