The Super Bowl is a time when many casual sports fans tune in to watch the NFL’s two top teams battle for the championship. In addition to the game, oddsmakers love setting up myriad prop bets which can hit on a variety of subjects.
One of the most fun prop bets every year centers on the length of the National Anthem. Various singers have taken turns belting out the tune, and this year the honors will go to pop star Pink. It’s actually pretty hard to find footage of her singing the National Anthem, but Pink does have good pipes so she may stretch out some of the more impactful parts of the song to wow the audience.
The line has been set at an even two minutes, and the oddsmakers are clear which way they think Pink will finish. The wager has traditionally begun when the singer begins the first word and ends at the conclusion of the final one. The music playing beforehand does not start the timer.
This prop bet is an enjoyable one because it gets bettors locked in from before the kickoff even happens.
The Super Bowl will take place on Sunday, February 4, 2018, at 6:30 p.m. ET at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Odds Analysis
When going back through all the data, the National Anthem singers have cumulatively come in under two minutes on average. However, four of the past five have gone “over” that length of time, which seems to be why that side has become the solid favorite.
Pink isn’t an Alicia Keys-type crooner, and Keys not surprisingly went way over two minutes, but she does like to show off her abilities.
The past three National Anthem singers have all gone over two minutes, and their choice to slow down the music may impact Pink in her decision. However, she also has some rocker in her, which could help her pick up the pace.
This one seems like it end up quite close to the two-minute mark, which will have bettors screaming at their TV down the wire, either for Pink to keep on singing or to wrap it up. This is definitely one of the most fun prop bets as it is so hard to predict and over in a matter of minutes.

The “over” is the more popular selection but that’s not the right way to play this prop bet. Pink has vocal talent but she doesn’t seem as intent on showing it as some of the other previous singers. She should keep a healthy pace and help the “under” hit in this one.
The two-minute mark is a good measure and she will come close to it, but Pink will wrap up that precious last word before she hits it. The odds could get even better as the week goes on so feel free to lock in on the “under” right before the game in order to maximize the payout.
