Historical Super Bowl National Anthem Lengths, Over/Under Betting Results & Odds
The national anthem has been played/performed prior to every Super Bowl except for Super Bowl 11 – Vikki Carr only sang America the Beautiful. Betting on the national anthem is still a somewhat new thing, though.
The first time sportsbooks offered odds on the length of the national anthem at the Super Bowl was in 2007, when Billy Joel performed The Star-Spangled Banner. Since then, it has grown into one of the most popular Super Bowl prop bets.
The NFL announced on January 24 that country music star Chris Stapleton will perform the national anthem at Super Bowl 57 in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday, February 12. You can find the betting lines for Stapleton’s anthem below as well as all the past Super Bowl national anthem betting lines and results.
