Super Bowl National Anthem Predictions

Let’s dive into our Super Bowl national anthem betting predictions for Reba’s rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner”:

Length of Super Bowl National Anthem By Reba McEntire

This will not be the first time that Reba has sung “The Star-Spangled Banner” at a sporting event. In 2010, she belted out the national anthem at the National Finals Rodeo. Reba was clocked at 84 seconds.

At the World Series, in 1997, she completed the national anthem in roughly 82 seconds. This was 12 years after speeding through the national anthem in 66 seconds at the 1985 World Series.

However, the clearest recent video recording of Reba singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” was from a charity softball game in 2017. According to our stopwatch, she finished the national anthem in 80 seconds.

Reba will hold the final notes slightly longer because it’s the Super Bowl. But, she’ll need some big pipes to reach 87 seconds. Despite still having a nice voice, at 68 years old, we don’t see her lungs getting there.

With Reba never publicly singing the national anthem longer than 86.5 seconds, the betting value is on the Under for this Super Bowl national anthem bet.

Reba To Forget/Omit Word In Super Bowl National Anthem

Reba is too experienced of a veteran performer to botch the national anthem at the Super Bowl. It’s highly unlikely that she will have any nerves whatsoever in the limelight for this special moment.

That being said, there is no value on no error being made at -3000 odds. That’s not the best Super Bowl national anthem prop bet value. Nevertheless, Reba will exemplify perfection, with no words being forgotten or omitted.

Reba’s Primary Hat Color

According to our own personal research, Reba hasn’t been much of a hat person recently. She didn’t wear a hat during any of her national anthem performances, aside from in 1974 at the National Finals Rodeo. Reba’s red hair has been one of her most distinguishing features.

And, you can probably guess what she was wearing then. She was sporting a cowboy hat, which Reba wore more prominently as a young country artist. We are not convinced that Reba is going to wear a hat at all, but if she does, maybe it’s an ode to her roots as a country singer?

Since “no hat” isn’t a betting option for this Super Bowl national anthem prop bet, the wager will be refunded if that is the case. Therefore, feel free to take a shot on a hat color without worry about losing money if that does indeed happen.

We are going to take a chance on a brown hat at +300 odds for this Super Bowl national anthem prop bet.

Number of Planes Super Bowl National Anthem Flyover

The traditional formation for a sporting event military flyover has been six aircraft. In 1968, the first Super Bowl flyover happened at Super Bowl II¹.

Typically, F-16s fly over the stadium coinciding with the end of the national anthem. The planes, whether it’s more than five or fewer, won’t need to go very far. Nellis Air Force Base is located in Las Vegas. It’s one of the largest Air Force bases in the United States.

Whether they want to send a B-2 bomber, F-16s, F-35s, or something else, it’s going to be a short trip over Allegiant Stadium. Note that the flyovers are done in conjunction with training. They are for entertainment, but the military uses the flyover as a proper training assignment.

Recently, there has been an assortment of military aircraft used for the Super Bowl flyover. In 2022, F-35s, Super Hornets, and Growlers were used². The following year, an all-female team flew an assortment of aircraft over State Farm Stadium.

For this bet, side with the better price at sports betting sites. In this case, the Under 4.5 has -110 odds. Fewer than five planes has been the more popular occurrence over the last decade. There is a decent chance of seeing it again in 2024.

Who Will Be Shown First During The Super Bowl National Anthem?

This is the Taylor Swift Bowl. She is going to get plenty of attention on CBS for the TV broadcast. Travis Kelce’s girlfriend has taken over the NFL, and it has resulted in millions of Swifties watching games to support the Chiefs.

However, will Swift be shown first? Keep in mind that she has a concert on her Eras Tour in Japan the day before. Given the time zone difference, she’ll need to hurry back in time for kickoff. Tokyo is 17 hours ahead of Las Vegas.

On a good day, Swift could make it in time for the national anthem. Everything will have to go off without a hitch, however. If it does, she’ll likely have two or three hours to spare. But, any kind of delay would impact Swift’s journey.

Of course, Swift will take a private jet from Tokyo to Las Vegas. Mechanical or weather delays are possible, though. That being said, if anyone is going to make it work, it’s going to be Swift. We’ll side with Swift to be the first one shown during “The Star-Spangled Banner” at -135 odds.

Does Any Scoring Drive Take Less Time Than The National Anthem?

We have Reba’s Super Bowl national anthem time handicapped at roughly 84 to 85 seconds. Can a team kick a field goal or score a touchdown in less than 85 seconds? We think so.

There are a few different scenarios how this can happen. The most likely is a turnover and quick score for the opposition. Another is the 49ers or Chiefs needing a quick score at the end of the first or second half.

And, of course, a quick scoring drive that happens naturally off a long touchdown. Considering these defenses, it’s most likely going to come off a turnover in the red zone. From there, it can take under a minute to put points on the board.

We like the “Yes”, but at -300 odds, this isn’t a bet to go too crazy on.

Who Will Be Shown First During The Super Bowl National Anthem?

We’ve made money on this Super Bowl national anthem prop bet at Super Bowl betting sites. Our approach has always been that the challenger will be shown first, while the champion appears second. In a duel between head coaches Andy Reid and Kyle Shanahan, we are leaning towards the underdog.

It’s not a foolproof strategy, but it makes the most sense that the champion should have the final look from the camera. The more prominent player or coach is always the favorite on these Super Bowl prop bets, too.

With that in mind, the value is always going to be on the underdog. Laying -165 on a bet like this is a foolish proposition. Side with the 49ers’ head coach to be the first head coach shown at +125 odds.

Who Will Be Shown First During The Super Bowl National Anthem?

Again, using the same logic as above, we like the underdog to be the first one shown during the national anthem. Before the 49ers win, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are the champions.

From this perspective, the 49ers are the challengers. With the 49ers designated as the road team, the NFL seems to know who the champion and challenger is at Super Bowl 58.

At +135 odds, there is plenty of value on Brock Purdy to be shown before Mahomes during the Super Bowl national anthem.

How Long Was The National Anthem At The Super Bowl?

Let’s take a quick look at the history of the national anthem at the Super Bowl. With a time of 2:36 at Super Bowl 47, Alicia Keys has the record for the longest national anthem time. Conversely, Neil Diamond has the shortest duration, with a clocked time of 1:02, at Super Bowl 21.
