п»їSuper Bowl 2021 national anthem prop odds: Top NFL expert locks in pick on length of 'Star-Spangled Banner'
В© Provided by CBS Sports.
Oddsmakers set a length for the Super Bowl national anthem -- this year the number is typically around two minutes -- and bettors can decide whether they think the singer will finish their final note over or under that number. For example, if someone had been able to take Under 2 minutes last year, that person would have cashed when Demi Lovato clocked in at 1 minute, 49 seconds. But before you lock in your pick for the 2021 Super Bowl national anthem, you need to hear what SportsLine NFL expert R.J. White has to say.
CBS Sports' Fantasy and gambling editor, White enters Super Bowl 55 as SportsLine's No. 1 NFL expert, delivering an 80-58 run on all NFL picks that has returned more than $1,500 during that span. His success is no surprise, as White has cashed huge twice in the world's most prestigious football handicapping competition, the Las Vegas SuperContest.
White's top five prop picks for the actual game are included in SportsLine's 30 best prop bets (check out the 30 best prop bets from SportsLine's experts for Super Bowl LV), but he's also found an edge in the national anthem prop bet that you have to see over at SportsLine. But first, here are a few things to consider on each side of the prop.
Why the Under makes sense.
The Under has come in on the anthem in three of the last four years, with only Gladys Knight's rendition in 2019 soaring Over the number of 1:47 (though that was not without controversy after she sang the final word multiple times). This year's line is also the highest its been since at least Super Bowl 52, when Pink's line was set right at 2 minutes.
Part of the research that goes into making a Super Bowl national anthem prop pick is finding clips of the relevant artist delivering the anthem at other events, and while there isn't much out there to help bettors land on one side with Eric Church, Jazmine Sullivan has sung the anthem at well under 2 minutes before.
Why the Over makes sense.
While the Under has been the right side over the last few years, typically the final number comes in at 2 minutes or longer on gameday. We saw a run of five straight Super Bowl national anthems top 2 minutes from 2013-17, and the aforementioned Knight rendition made it just over the 2-minute mark as well.
This is also the first duet during the national anthem since Super Bowl 40, which at the time clocked in as tied for the second-longest rendition in Super Bowl history at 2:09. Since that Aretha Franklin-Aaron Neville team-up, artists such as Alicia Keys and Lady Gaga have topped that mark in solo performances.

NFL picks, 2021 Super Bowl best bets from a legendary expert: This 3-way parlay would pay 11-1.
Hammerin' Hank Goldberg is 51-34 on his NFL best bets and just locked in his top NFL picks for Super Bowl LV.
Tom Brady will try to become the first quarterback to win a Super Bowl in three different decades when he leads the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 55 on Sunday. Brady, who won six titles with the Patriots, has won Super Bowls in each of the previous two decades. To win title No. 7 in decade No. 3, Brady and the Buccaneers (14-5) will have to knock off a 16-2 Chiefs team looking to win back-to-back Super Bowls.
Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS. Kansas City is a three-point favorite in the latest Super Bowl 55 odds from William Hill Sportsbook, while the over-under sits at 56. Before making any 2021 Super Bowl picks or Chiefs vs. Buccaneers parlays, see the NFL best bets from legendary handicapper Hammerin' Hank Goldberg over at SportsLine.
A beloved national treasure, Hammer enters Super Bowl LV on an extended heater: Over the last year-and-a-half, he is an incredible 51-34 on his NFL best bets.
This is the same prognosticator who enjoyed 15 winning seasons in his 17-year ESPN run. In 2017, Hammer competed against 10 top handicappers in the Las Vegas Review-Journal's NFL Challenge and beat them all, finishing 50-29-6 on against-the-spread NFL picks. Anyone who has followed him is way up.
Now, Hammer has locked in three confident best bets for Super Bowl 55. If you parlay his picks, you could be looking at an 11-1 payout. You can only see them here.
Top 2021 Super Bowl NFL expert picks.
After thoroughly studying the Super Bowl LV line, Hammer is picking the teams to score under 56 points even though these are two of the highest-scoring offenses in the league. He realizes these teams can put up points in a hurry, as Tampa Bay trailed just Green Bay and Buffalo in points per game (30.8) during the regular season, while Kansas City ranked sixth (29.6).
However, the regular season matchup between these teams on Nov. 29 didn't exactly light up the scoreboard, as they combined for 51 points in a 27-24 Chiefs victory. In that game, each team scored below its season average.
History also is on the side of the Under. In 12 previous Super Bowls in which the closing total was at least 50 points, the Under has gone 8-3-1.
