Orange Emerges as Potential Gatorade Flavor
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan may have dropped a hint about the color of the Gatorade bath that could be doused on him if his team emerges victorious in the upcoming Super Bowl. During a press conference, Shanahan revealed that his favorite Gatorade flavor is orange, sparking speculation among bettors.
Purple Remains the Top Favorite
Despite Shanahan’s preference for orange, purple remains the favored Gatorade color for this year’s Super Bowl. DraftKings Sportsbook currently offers +225 odds for purple, making it the frontrunner. Yellow/green also shares the same odds at +300, while orange stands at +300.
Historical Insights into Gatorade Choices
The preference for purple comes from last year’s Super Bowl, where the Kansas City Chiefs’ head coach, Andy Reid, was famously showered in purple Gatorade after his team’s victory. However, previous years have seen a pattern of different colors. In 2022, the Los Angeles Rams opted for blue Gatorade, while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers chose it in 2021.
Other Gatorade Flavors and “No Gatorade Bath” Bet
Aside from the favored purple, bettors can also consider blue and red Gatorade, both with odds of +350. Clear Gatorade stands at +1000, while an interesting option is to bet on there being no Gatorade bath, which is currently at +1600 odds.
Game Prediction: 49ers Favored by Two Points
Turning attention to the game itself, the San Francisco 49ers are the favorites with a two-point advantage, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. As always, prop bets on Gatorade flavors remain a gamble and a matter of pure speculation.
