At Super Bowl 57, Chris Stapleton hit the UNDER after taking 121 seconds to belt his emotional version of the anthem. People who hammered the OVER set at 125 seconds were looking like Nick Sirianni.

Super Bowl National Anthem Bets

As of right now, McEntire's 91.5 seconds is the lowest national anthem line in the last 17 Super Bowls. Sportsbooks are clearly relying on her upbeat country twang and yodeling to speed through the lyrics. Or maybe that's what they want us to think she will do! 

However, in the '97 World Series, she was also given the honor to sing the anthem. It took her a whole 83 seconds to finish the song. 

But, this is the Super Bowl. Recent history has shown that singers like to relish in the glory with seven of the last 10 performances eclipsing the two minute mark. Last year, the LA Times reported the the length of the anthem averages around the one minute and 58 seconds mark.

This line is pretty low and knowing McEntire's southern patriotism, she'll want to soak up the moment and do her country justice.  

National Anthem Forgotten Word Odds 

Reba has clearly sang this song in front of a crowd before and again, coming from the south, likely could sing it in her sleep.

What Other National Anthem Props Can I Bet On For Super Bowl 58?

Super Bowl betting doesn't cheap out. Come closer to the coveted Sunday, there will be plenty more to bet on for the national anthem performance. Some of them are as simple as which player will be shown first during the anthem to whether the singer(s) will forget a word – that’s an embarrassment no one can recover from!

Stay tuned as those bets come out!

Super Bowl Anthem Betting History: Past Results

In the last 17 Super Bowls, the anthem has gone OVER on nine occasions and UNDER seven times with one PUSH. 

But if we look at the specific times, seven of the last 10 came in over two minutes. The lines seem to have adjusted accordingly with six of the last 10 being set at two minutes or above, but it’s worth noting that most singers in recent years are trending toward longer renditions.

Who Has Sung The National Anthem At The Super bowl?

Since 1967, the Super Bowl has seen a variety of performers show off their vocal cords. The first few seasons showcased collegiate talent before the best in the industry took over the honor. Here’s a list of who has sung at the Super Bowl:

The NFL introduced ASL interpreters during the national anthem in 1992, with the first translator being Lori Hilary. Only two artists have sung the national anthem twice in Super Bowl history: Billy Joel (1989, 2007) and Aaron Neville (1990, 2006), each performing a year apart from the other on both occasions. 

National Anthem Composition History

Francis Scott Key, a lawyer from Maryland who would probably be a Ravens fan with complete faith in Lamar Jackson if he were alive today, wrote the poem that the anthem is based on. After drawing inspiration from the American flag that was known at the time as the Star-Spangled Banner, Key sat at his desk, his wooden teeth whistling, and penned a ditty about a wild night against the British complete with rockets glaring red, bombs bursting and freedom in the land of the free.

Now, it’s up to you, the bettor, to decide how long it will take to get through Key’s tune. 

How To Bet On Super Bowl National Anthem

Most Super Bowl prop bets are specialized wagers that have no bearing on the outcome of the actual game. In this case, a prop bet on the national anthem would be like an OVER/UNDER, aka a totals wager. You would need to decide if the amount of time it takes for the singer(s) to finish singing the anthem will be longer or shorter than the oddsmaker’s set time.

For example, this is what the national anthem prop looked like at some sportsbooks in 2022:

By betting the OVER, you think Guyton’s anthem performance will last longer than one minute 55 seconds. Those odds are listed by sportsbooks at -220, meaning the anthem is more likely to go OVER the runtime than UNDER. The -220 odds refer to how much you’d have to bet in order to make $100 in profit. So, if you bet $220 and Guyton went OVER the runtime for her performance, your $220 would be returned along with $100 in profit from the sportsbook.

On the flip side, if you think Guyton’s performance will go UNDER one minute 55 seconds, those odds are listed at +155. When odds have a plus sign (+) in front of them, it indicates how much you would make if you bet $100. For example, if you bet $100 on Guyton to go UNDER and she does, you’d get your $100 bet back along with $155 in profit from the sports betting site.
