NFL Announces Mickey Guyton As National Anthem Singer

• Mickey Guyton has been announced as the singer of the National Anthem for Super Bowl 56.
• The over-under on the length of Guyton’s performance is set at 95 seconds, with -120 odds on both sides.
• Other prop bets based on her outfit and any potential errors were the first Super Bowl National Anthem bets available.

LOS ANGELES – Mickey Guyton will be taking center stage at Super Bowl 56, where she will be singing the National Anthem. Guyton is a country music superstar who has taken the genre by storm, even winning New Artist of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards in 2021.

Betting on the National Anthem has become a national pastime, with the most popular wager based on the length of the performance. The over-under line has this year’s rendition to be the quickest anthem yet. Since 2010, the over-under for the National Anthem is 5-5-1.

Prior Performance Suggests Betting The Under On The Anthem

This will not be Mickey Guyton’s first time singing the National Anthem, with her rendition at the 2021 National Memorial Day Concert providing a historical basis for one of the most fun Super Bowl prop bets. Guyton sang the Anthem in under 90 seconds, potentially providing guidance for betting the under for her Super Bowl performance.

Within that National Anthem length prop lies the implied total of the word “Brave”. Sportsbooks have the over-under set at 6.5 seconds for how long Mickey Guyton will last on “Brave”, with the over opening as the slight favorite at -125 compared to the under at -115.

Other Prop Bets For The National Anthem

Online sportsbooks started creating props as soon as the NFL announced their pregame entertainment lineup on Tuesday.

Betting on Mickey Guyton’s outfit: Odds on the color of Guyton’s outfit favor a brighter style, with white the favorite at +250 odds and yellow/gold at +300. Guyton wore a yellow dress when she sang the National Anthem at the National Memorial Day Concert. Jazmine Sullivan wore all white during her Super Bowl 55 performance of the National Anthem.

Forgetting/Omitting A Word: Ever since Christina Aguilera sang the wrong words during her Super Bowl 45 National Anthem performance, one of the most common ways to bet on the Super Bowl has been on any errors during the Anthem. No singer has messed up or forgotten any of the Anthem’s lyrics since then.
