Odds as of February 9th
Before we can even get to the kickoff of the Rams vs Bengals Super Bowl, Mickey Guyton needs to perform the national anthem.
Guyton has been nominated for four Grammy awards before 2022, with three more nominations coming this year. She was announced as the anthem singer for the Super Bowl on February 1st and early lines set her anthem length at 95.5 seconds.

Guyton joins an illustrious list of performers who have opened the show. Naturally one of the big questions surrounding her performance will be how long her version of the anthem is. Especially considering that this is the shortest projection for a Super Bowl anthem since Super Bowl 46.
Super Bowl national anthem length history shows that the Under has been popular lately, going 3-2 since Lady Gaga’s push at Super Bowl 50. The Overs have been significant, going over by 14 and 17 seconds respectively. It seems like those backing Unders have had to sweat it out lately, as the average difference between the line and actual length has been just six seconds.
Guyton’s anthem is set at 1:40. There are two instances on YouTube of her singing the national anthem.
The one above clocks in at 1:26 from start to finish. The other version is incomplete, as the video picks up from “dawn’s early light”. Evidence suggests Guyton won’t drag out ‘O say can you see’, and the second anthem ends at 1:25 with a heroic hold on the final note. The total time likely rests somewhere in the 1:30 range.
This total has consistently been climbing. We’ve seen it come in near 1:35, 1:38 and now 1:40. While some may have thought the first, and even second, number was too high for Guyton, now is the time to pounce.
At the 1:40 and beyond range it makes the Under a must-play. Especially if you can get it at +100 or better. Guyton’s track record proves that she shouldn’t take too long, and the total even gives some wiggle room for playing up the big notes.
- The Pick: Guyton UNDER 1:40 for National Anthem (+170)

Odds as of February 9th at BetMGM, DraftKings , Caesars Sportsbook and FanDuel
Betting the 2022 Super Bowl odds wouldn’t be complete without taking a look at the coin toss. And Caesars Sportsbook is offering great Super Bowl betting promotions with odds for both heads and tails listed at +100. You’ve got a 50-50 shot at doubling up early. You can check out even more Caesars Sportsbook promo codes ahead of kickoff too.
Since they’re the away team (even though SoFi Stadium is their home turf) the Rams will be calling the opening toss. LA was 5-4 in the regular season when they got to call the toss, and 6-4 when you include the playoffs.
While the coin toss is entirely a game of chance, there have been some strange patterns when it comes to the Super Bowl coin toss results. Did you know that Super Bowl 43 to Super Bowl 47 every toss came up Heads? Or that in the four Super Bowls afterwards it was Tails?
SUPERBOWL COIN TOSS '22
Now I've correctly called the coin toss 7 years in a row and I am fairly confident that this year's toss will be no different to the last… apart from the result.
This year's #Superbowl coin toss will be TAILS. https://t.co/bKEZ9aZ4vn

The past four Super Bowls haven’t offered any big trends. Coin toss results were Heads, followed by two Tails, and another Heads. But add it all up and it’s been Tails in six of the last eight Super Bowls.
Sticking with the coin toss, there’s another interesting trend that’s emerged lately: winning the coin toss is a kiss of death.
Starting with the Seahawks in Super Bowl 49, the winner of the coin toss has lost seven-straight Super Bowls. In fact, since Super Bowl 38, coin toss winners are just 5-13 outright.

So if you’re riding a hunch on either the Bengals or Rams winning the coin toss, you can back the other team to win outright if you trust the trend.
When it comes to Heads and Tails, we won’t trust the trend. Heads gets back on track in Super Bowl 56.
- The Pick: Heads (+100)
