Super Bowl National Anthem Previous Times & Trends
Heading into Super Bowl 59, the over has cashed in 4 of the past 5 Super Bowls. However, extending that period out to the past 12 years, and we have 6 Overs and 6 Unders. Jazz singer Jon Batiste sang the national anthem last year and clocked in at 2:00, hitting the Under by the finest of margins with the line set at 2:00.5. As you can imagine, Under bettors rejoiced while Over bettors wanted a clock re-check. Given that the anthem was 25 seconds shorter the year before when sung by Reba McEntire, a lot can determine whether the national anthem goes over or under, such as how long the singer holds the note at the end.
Here is the list of the last 14 Super Bowl National Anthem performances and times:

Super Bowl National Anthem Odds
Odds courtesy of Paddy Power (UK & Ireland) and available at time of publishing.
- Over 1:59.5 (-120)
- Under 1:59.5 (-120)
The opening line of the Super Bowl National Anthem has been set at 119.5 seconds, or 1:59.5. As mentioned previously, we typically see the anthem clock in at around 2 minutes, and that rings true for this line, where the past 8 Super Bowls have seen 4 go under and 4 go over the number. The line will inevitably be different depending on which sportsbook you use, so it’s essential that you shop around to make sure you find the best number relating to your over/under bet and increase your chances of winning.
The Super Bowl LX National Anthem odds are currently only available at select sportsbooks and none in North America, but they should become available soon, so make sure you keep checking back.
Super Bowl National Anthem Picks and Predictions: Under 119.5 seconds (-120)
Last year at Super Bowl 59, we saw the Under cash for the first time in 5 years. We successfully predicted that Under, while also predicting the Over the previous year, and now for Super Bowl LX, we’re looking to make it 3 winners in a row as we roll with the Under once again. For starters, there is no evidence of Charlie Puth performing the national anthem previously at a sports event. However, his style of music and voice lend themselves to him being fairly punctual in his rendition.
Further, there is a video available on YouTube of him playing the national anthem on the piano in a little over a minute. This is an instrumental version and unlikely to be what we see at Super Bowl 60, but a piano often means more haste when it comes to performing The Star Spangled Banner. Given Puth is only 34 years old, he should have the lung capacity to nail the anthem at speed without pausing for too many breaths. All things considered, let’s make it 3-0 with my Super Bowl national anthem predictions and start the big game with a winner! Take the Under.
