Anthem Bet
Among the things people like to bet on at the Super Bowl is the length of the national anthem, and this year was no exception.
The Super Bowl national anthem length bet is one of the more fun ones to make on Super Bowl Sunday. When divas such as Mariah Carey, Beyonce, and Christina Aguilera performing vocal gymnastics with the eyes of the world on them, nobody knows how long it’s going to take. In the gambling world, the length of the anthem is a popular Super Bowl prop bet, so that is very important information. Maskavich’s Twitter account has 1,687 followers, but his video had more than.
DraftKings Sportsbook National Anthem Prop Bet. While you cannot wager on the anthem time specifically at DraftKings Sportsbook, there is a prop that you can wager on between which will take “less time”. The betting market is which takes less time between any scoring drive or the National Anthem. National anthem prop bet. The national anthem will be a duet featuring Jazmine Sullivan and Eric Church with a prop bet line set at 120 seconds. There was only one other duet in national anthem’s history at the Super Bowl, which occurred in 2006 with Aretha Franklin and Aaron Neville. That performance yielded a length of over 120 seconds. Super Bowl 55 prop bet results including MVP, Gatorade shower, national anthem over/under, first touchdown scorer and more. Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images The Super Bowl is arguably the best gambling day of the year, and with so many different prop bets to choose from, it can be pretty tough to keep track of everything.
With Jazmine Sullivan and Eric Church teaming up to do the first duet since 2006 — when Aretha Franklin and Aaron Neville performed The Star-Spangled Banner at Super Bowl XL — people wondered: would it run longer than anthems in recent years?
One reporter may have figured out an answer.
Zach Maskavich of WESH in Florida was outside Raymond James Stadium on Friday and he timed what sounds like a rehearsal of the national anthem, clocking it at two minutes and 16 seconds, which would be over what some sports books had the over/under at.
What happened next? You can guess: per ESPN, sportsbooks that had the anthem length bet available noticed a ton of wagers coming in on the over and put a halt to it, or they changed the odds drastically.
And of course, bettors were pretty angry. Oops!
If you’re the kind of Super Bowl viewer who’s more into doing a squares pool (and not, say, putting money on the actual game), this might be the list of side wagers to make at your virtual Super Bowl party or with your family.
That’s right: it’s a list of predictions on bets you can make on stuff that’s not game-related, from the national anthem length to the color of the liquid that will be poured on the winning coach, and more.
Because, really: as we’ve learned over the past few decades, the Super Bowl is more than just a football game.
1 How long will the national anthem be?
Steven: 2 minutes
It’s going long. That’s all I can tell you. We can’t compare an artist’s performance at some random NHL game. This is the Super Bowl. Milk it for what it’s worth.
Charles C: 1 minute and 52 seconds
There’s a little bit of history with Jazmine Sullivan (see above) but not much with Eric Church. And although the last Super Bowl anthem duet ran long, I’ll say it’s shorter than two minutes.
2 What color Gatorade will be poured on the winning coach?
Steven: Red
Going with red because it’s the color of both teams, and also I just wanted to rant about how bad red Gatorade is. It’s the worst flavor of Gatorade. It tastes like an awful batch of Kool-Aid.
Charles C: Orange
It was orange last year, and I think the Chiefs are winning again, so orange it is!
3 What's the final song The Weeknd plays at halftime?
Steven: Starboy
They’re going to bring out Daft Punk and everything. Please do not ask me to name another song by the Weeknd.
Charles C: Can’t Feel My Face
Yeah, yeah, everyone’s going to pick Blinding Lights, but that’s too obvious.
4 Will Gisele Bundchen be shown on camera?
Steven: No
Tom Brady has been to 10 Super Bowls. The interest in his family has waned. Show me Andy Reid’s family. Or Gronk’s.
Charles C: Yes
Lock it in. The camera will find her and Brady’s family at least once, even if the Bucs lose.
5 Will Bill Belichick be mentioned?
Steven: At least five times
It’s going to be a storyline. Especially with the Chiefs marching up and down the field on offense. You don’t have the greatest defensive coach anymore, Tom.
Charles C: Yes
You can’t go an entire Super Bowl without mentioning how many times Brady was here with Belichick.
6 Will Roger Goodell be shown?
Steven: Yes
We’ll see him at least three times. Between the weird season and the fact that the commissioner is always around during a championship game, I’d say this is pretty much a lock.
Charles C: Yes
How many times? I’ll say once, for sure, while the CBS booth talks about having a Super Bowl in the middle of a pandemic.
7 Will Tony Romo predict a play correctly?
Steven: No
Romo hasn’t really been predicting plays of late. Maybe he’s just tired of doing it. But I will say this: He’s had two weeks to study these teams so he could probably do it if he wanted to.
Charles C: Heck yes
It’s Tony Romo. He predicted this Super Bowl matchup back in Week 12!

8 Will Tom Brady try to high-five a ref?
Steven: No
Yeah, this isn’t going to be one of those games. Washed Drew Brees isn’t on the other sideline, unfortuantely.
Charles C: No
He’ll be too busy losing and being frustrated to do that.
9 What color will Bruce Arians' hat be?
Anthem Beta Release Date
Steven: White
It’s your first Super Bowl, Bruce.
Stunt. On. Them.

Charles C: Red
Anthem Better Health
It’s got to be a color in the Bucs’ uniforms, right?
