From Kendrick Lamar’s halftime setlist to the Gatorade bath color, there are several novelty props that bettors can wager on ahead of Super Bowl LIX on FOX.
And the national anthem is yet another one that’s a part of that mix.
This year, Jon Batiste will take center stage to perform the anthem ahead of the kickoff.
For years, sports fans have bet on the length of the Star Spangled Banner, among other anthem-related props.
Let’s check out how sportsbooks have handicapped this year’s patriotic performance as of Feb. 4 (FanDuel Ontario).
Length of the National Anthem
Over 120.5 seconds: -142 (bet $10 to win $17.04 total)
Under 120.5 seconds: +120 (bet $10 to win $22 total)
Length of final word “Brave”
Over 3.5 seconds: -102 (bet $10 to win $19.80 total)
Under 3.5 seconds: -128 (bet $10 to win $17.81 total)
Will Batiste Use a Piano?
Yes: -400 (bet $10 to win $12.50 total)
No: +290 (bet $10 to win $39 total)
Will a Player or Coach Cry During Anthem?
Yes: -770 (bet $10 to win $11.30 total)
No: +450 (bet $10 to win $55 total)
Can the Eagles’ Tush Push break through the Chiefs defense?
In last year’s Super Bowl LVIII, Reba McEntire’s rendition seemingly hit the Under on length. But an extra “brave” at the end technically sent the song Over.
Ultimately, some sportsbooks ended up paying out both Over and Under bettors.
With that in mind, let’s look at other performers’ anthem times and the O/U results since Super Bowl XLI:
Super Bowl LVII: Chris Stapleton (2:05 O/U, 2:01 length, Under)
Super Bowl LVI: Mickey Guyton (1:35, 1:52, Over)
