Color of Gatorade bath on winning head coach

Blue +33
Clear/Water +400
Green +800
Orange +100
Purple +800
Red +500
Yellow +400
None +500

The Panthers dumped orange liquid on Ron Rivera after they clinched the division title last season, and again after they beat the Cardinals in the NFC title game. Former Broncos head coach John Fox got an orange bath when the team won the 2013 AFC championship. Take the overwhelming favorite. - David P. Woods

Pick: Orange +100

How many footballs will Cam Newton give to kids?

Over 1.5 +195
Under 1.5 -294

Regardless of whether the Panthers score enough times for him to carry out his "Sunday Giveaway" program after touchdowns, Cam Newton won't be holding back on football's biggest stage. There should certainly be more than one football giveaway with the star quarterback taking to football's biggest stage. - Dan Wilkins

Pick: Over 1.5 +195

How many times will "dab" or "dabbing" be said during broadcast?

Over 2 +100
Under 2 -140

All it takes is one Panthers touchdown to push this over. Even if it's not Cam Newton, the celebration will likely be mentioned in conjunction with whatever dance the scorer decides to do. This goes WAY over if the Panthers blow out the Broncos like many feel they will. - Joe Thomson

Pick: Over 2 +100

How many times will Cam Newton do the open-shirt Superman motion during the game?

Over 2.5 +100
Under 2.5 -140

With two weeks to prepare for the Panthers, Wade Phillips is surely concocting a strategy to slow down Cam Newton, given the lack of talent at the skill positions around the likely league MVP. Besides, Superman's out. Dabbing's in. - Gino Bottero

Pick: Under 2.5 -140

Will Mike Carey be wrong about a challenge?

Yes +145
No -190

Anyone who has watched a CBS game this year knows the struggles former NFL referee Mike Carey has had getting calls right during the broadcast. His inability to correctly guess the official decision has reached almost comical levels, and there is no reason to think he'll perform any better during the biggest game of the year. - Justin Boone

Pick: Yes +145
