One of the biggest questions asked every year is “who is singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl?” Partly because people want to see their favorite artists perform, and partly because they want to know how they can make National Anthem Super Bowl bets. For the past few years, the National Anthem prop bet has been one of the most popular wagers for the Super Bowl. Giving people a chance for something to root for before the action even begins is a huge draw. Plus, it is just whimsical and fun to get worked up about a singer dragging out their notes or keeping it short.
This year, country singer Mickey Guyton has the honor of singing the National Anthem prior to Super Bowl 56 between the Rams and Bengals. For starters, let’s take a look at where Vegas is setting the line for Guyton’s over/under for the Anthem.
Best Super Bowl Prop Bets: National Anthem Over/Under

- Over 95 seconds -120
- Under 95 seconds -120
Based on that line, you would think that Guyton would smack the over. But hold the phone. She sang the “Star-Spangled Banner” for a Memorial Day concert in 2021 and wrapped up the song real quick, finishing the tune in under 80 seconds.
There is also video of Mickey Guyton singing the National Anthem in 2015 where she finished under the over/under number of the Super Bowl performance. But perhaps she will want to milk this moment, being as it is undoubtedly the biggest stage of her career. After all, most musicians have gone over the total number throughout the history of this particular prop bet.
Super Bowl National Anthem Historical Trends
Looking at the history of the National Anthem, it is easy to justify taking the over on 95 seconds. Since 2013, every single Super Bowl National Anthem singer has gone over 95 seconds. The only singer in history to stay under was that total was Kelly Clarkson prior to the 2012 Super Bowl.
So the question comes down to one thing: do you take more stake in what Guyton has done in the past, or what every other Super Bowl National Anthem singer has done?
The best bet is to throw a little bit on the under. Something about Mickey Guyton’s history performing the song suggests she already has her rendition down to a tee.
