Super Bowl LVII between the Kansas City Chiefs and ?? ??? ??? ???the Philadelphia Eagles was a thrilling game (minus the ending) that kept fans on the edge of their seats. While the final score of 38-35 in favor of the Chiefs was enough to get fans talking, another aspect of the game also had people buzzing: the Gatorade shower.
Every year, the winning team's coach gets doused with Gatorade as a celebration of their victory. Ever since betting on the color of the Gatorade shower was made legal four years ago, the tradition has become the topic of speculation for NFL and sports fans alike. Last year, the winning color was blue at +400 odds with BetMGM Sportsbook, but it’s also worth noting that sometimes there is no Gatorade shower, like in 2017. This year, the odds on favorite was yellow/green at +110 odds, according to BetMGM.
