National anthem prop bet. The national anthem will be a duet featuring Jazmine Sullivan and Eric Church with a prop bet line set at 120 seconds. There was only one other duet in national anthem’s history at the Super Bowl, which occurred in 2006 with Aretha Franklin and Aaron Neville. That performance yielded a length of over 120 seconds.

If you’re the kind of Super Bowl viewer who’s more into doing a squares pool (and not, say, putting money on the actual game), this might be the list of side wagers to make at your virtual Super Bowl party or with your family.

• Super Bowl 55 prop bet results including MVP, Gatorade shower, national anthem over/under, first touchdown scorer and more. Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images The Super Bowl is arguably the best gambling day of the year, and with so many different prop bets to choose from, it can be pretty tough to keep track of everything.
• The national anthem is one prop bet that many fans bet on, though it is not on the board on U.S. Sportsbooks due to concerns about potential corruption, it is still one of the most popular when.

That’s right: it’s a list of predictions on bets you can make on stuff that’s not game-related, from the national anthem length to the color of the liquid that will be poured on the winning coach, and more.

Because, really: as we’ve learned over the past few decades, the Super Bowl is more than just a football game.

1 How long will the national anthem be?

Steven: 2 minutes

It’s going long. That’s all I can tell you. We can’t compare an artist’s performance at some random NHL game. This is the Super Bowl. Milk it for what it’s worth.

Charles C: 1 minute and 52 seconds

There’s a little bit of history with Jazmine Sullivan (see above) but not much with Eric Church. And although the last Super Bowl anthem duet ran long, I’ll say it’s shorter than two minutes.

2 What color Gatorade will be poured on the winning coach?

Steven: Red

Going with red because it’s the color of both teams, and also I just wanted to rant about how bad red Gatorade is. It’s the worst flavor of Gatorade. It tastes like an awful batch of Kool-Aid.

Charles C: Orange

It was orange last year, and I think the Chiefs are winning again, so orange it is!

3 What's the final song The Weeknd plays at halftime?

Steven: Starboy

They’re going to bring out Daft Punk and everything. Please do not ask me to name another song by the Weeknd.

Charles C: Can’t Feel My Face

Yeah, yeah, everyone’s going to pick Blinding Lights, but that’s too obvious.

4 Will Gisele Bundchen be shown on camera?

Steven: No

Tom Brady has been to 10 Super Bowls. The interest in his family has waned. Show me Andy Reid’s family. Or Gronk’s.

Charles C: Yes

Lock it in. The camera will find her and Brady’s family at least once, even if the Bucs lose.

5 Will Bill Belichick be mentioned?

Steven: At least five times

It’s going to be a storyline. Especially with the Chiefs marching up and down the field on offense. You don’t have the greatest defensive coach anymore, Tom.

Charles C: Yes

You can’t go an entire Super Bowl without mentioning how many times Brady was here with Belichick.

6 Will Roger Goodell be shown?

Steven: Yes

We’ll see him at least three times. Between the weird season and the fact that the commissioner is always around during a championship game, I’d say this is pretty much a lock.

Charles C: Yes

How many times? I’ll say once, for sure, while the CBS booth talks about having a Super Bowl in the middle of a pandemic.

7 Will Tony Romo predict a play correctly?

Steven: No

Romo hasn’t really been predicting plays of late. Maybe he’s just tired of doing it. But I will say this: He’s had two weeks to study these teams so he could probably do it if he wanted to.

Charles C: Heck yes

It’s Tony Romo. He predicted this Super Bowl matchup back in Week 12!

8 Will Tom Brady try to high-five a ref?

Steven: No

Yeah, this isn’t going to be one of those games. Washed Drew Brees isn’t on the other sideline, unfortuantely.

Charles C: No

He’ll be too busy losing and being frustrated to do that.

9 What color will Bruce Arians' hat be?

Steven: White

Anthem Better Health Of Virginia

It’s your first Super Bowl, Bruce.

Stunt. On. Them.

Charles C: Red

It’s got to be a color in the Bucs’ uniforms, right?

Among the things people like to bet on at the Super Bowl is the length of the national anthem, and this year was no exception.

With Jazmine Sullivan and Eric Church teaming up to do the first duet since 2006 — when Aretha Franklin and Aaron Neville performed The Star-Spangled Banner at Super Bowl XL — people wondered: would it run longer than anthems in recent years?

One reporter may have figured out an answer.

Zach Maskavich of WESH in Florida was outside Raymond James Stadium on Friday and he timed what sounds like a rehearsal of the national anthem, clocking it at two minutes and 16 seconds, which would be over what some sports books had the over/under at.

What happened next? You can guess: per ESPN, sportsbooks that had the anthem length bet available noticed a ton of wagers coming in on the over and put a halt to it, or they changed the odds drastically.

And of course, bettors were pretty angry. Oops!
