National Anthem Prop Bet History and Prediction Heading Into Super Bowl 56 Bengals vs Rams (Updated)

Updated: Sep 10, 5:00pm UTC

The Super Bowl is one of the best days of the year to be a sports bettor. Bettors can wager on just about everything, including the length of the national anthem. Believe it or not, making that absurd bet has actually become something of a tradition among NFL fans.

National Anthem Over/Under

If you're looking to get in on the action this year, it always helps to beef up on your history. Here's a look at the recent history of the national anthem at the Super Bowl.

National Anthem Odds

This prop currently isn't available on FanDuel Sportsbook. But most other sites seem to have set the over/under for the national anthem length at around over/under 95 seconds (1:35).

Mickey Guyton National Anthem History

Mickey Guyton is going to be singing the national anthem this year. We've seen Guyton sing the national anthem a few times, finishing in 90 seconds at the Memorial Day Concert last year and under 90 seconds again at the Country Radio Seminar back in 2015, according to BetSided.

National Anthem Bets & Trends

Recent history certainly points toward the over. We've only seen the national anthem completed in under 95 seconds twice in the last 15 years. The over has also cashed in two of the last three years and four of the last seven. All told, the over has hit in eight of the last 15 years.

But Guyton's history paints a much different picture. Guyton clocked in at 90 seconds or faster in both of her performances, and she doesn't seem like the type of singer who will chew the scenery the way an Alicia Keys or Lady Gaga did.

It might cut it close, but I think the under is the right side here.
